Defining an External Audio Content Type
An audio content type must at least have the following:
-
A parameter called
com.escenic.audio
that is set totrue
-
A parameter called
com.escenic.article.staging
that is set tofalse
-
A
basic
field with:-
mime-type
set toapplication/json
-
an
audio
sub-element with avalue
attribute set totrue
. This element must belong to the namespacehttp://xmlns.escenic.com/2013/audio
.
-
-
A decorator called
audioArticleDecorator
The following example shows such a minimal
content-type
:
<content-type name="external-audio"> <parameter name="com.escenic.audio" value="true"/> <parameter name="com.escenic.article.staging" value="false"/> <ui:decorator name="audioArticleDecorator"/> <panel name="main"> <field name="audio" type="basic" mime-type="application/json"> <ui:hidden/> <audio xmlns="http://xmlns.escenic.com/2013/audio" enabled="true"/> </field> </panel> </content-type>
Here is a more realistic version of the same example, this time including a title field, label and so on, but with the important parts highlighted.
<content-type name="external-audio"> <parameter name="com.escenic.audio" value="true"/> <parameter name="com.escenic.article.staging" value="false"/> <ui:icon>graphic</ui:icon> <ui:label>External audio</ui:label> <ui:title-field>title</ui:title-field> <ui:decorator name="audioArticleDecorator"/> <panel name="main"> <field name="title" type="basic" mime-type="text/plain"/> <field name="audio" type="basic" mime-type="application/json"> <ui:hidden/> <audio xmlns="http://xmlns.escenic.com/2013/audio" enabled="true"/> </field> </panel> </content-type>
The com.escenic.audio
parameter identifies the
content type as an audio content type managed by the Video plug-in.
The com.escenic.article.staging
parameter specifies
that content item staging must be disabled for
this content type. If content item staging is disabled generally at
your installation or for the whole publication, then you can omit this
parameter. (For general information about content item staging, see
the Escenic Content Engine Advanced Developer
Guide.)
You can use external audio content types to include audio content from any external source. Audio content from these external sources can only be added via the web service (see Web Service-Based Automation) or the import system (see Syndication-Based Automation).
