Hi.

Is it possible to use map on images in eZ publish 3.1 or 3.2?

Christian, what do you mean by Map? Do you mean imagemaps?

You can do that (manually) in templates, but not instrinsically with image objects (yet).

Inside a template you can fetch a regular image object of course, but you'll have to do the map part by hand.

Couldn't you create a new class based off of the image class with an additional field to insert the map code? Then in the template for the class you can insert that code as well as the image.

Yes, and put a java-applet in the edit template for easy editing (template works in two steps: first the image, then the applet, at least two object versions as a result)

Interesting idea Paul. I hadn't thought of adding map-editing capabilities to the editor itself...
