I had a type that, in my opinion should inherit from the media type Image since it was made up of a named image and url (to external domain) and wasn't navigable content.
It was being used to display a series of company logos on a site.
My ideal scenario would have been to be able to select the media type in the dropdown when setting up my data type and then display the list of that media type in a tab within a content node.
I dunno if this is tricky but I thought since it's IPublishedContent it might be doable.
Media types
Are there any plans to support media types?
I was hoping to use the plugin to render a list of custom media items (inheriting from image)
Hey James,
We don't have any plans to support Media Types. I guess this is because we didn't see a use-case for it.
Would you want to use Nested Content editor within a Media node? (as opposed to a Content node)
Maybe we could create a second property-editor called Nested Media? ;-)
Cheers,
