%ext% in [file]

[Giant Eagle]

Would it be possible to have a variable that changes into the extension of the file that is being processed..

For example, if i have [file.exe = file.zip = file.rar = <-- insert every supported extension here --> file.tar]
then when a file called 'test.zip' is being processed, %ext% would result in 'zip'

This would be ideal for the case of Terayon where every extension has the same code except for the Icon code. I could simply use <img src="/template/icons/%ext%.gif" /> instead of having 50 sheets of code

%item-ext% from next build

giant-eagle, what about if the file have extension that u dont have specific icon. just for example: .mpeg(instead of mpg), .t3d,  dont u think will going to be mess up?

p/s- i use tetrayon with 'little bit' modification but feel ashame to show it to u all guys

Well in the Terayon currently we have a default icon set... [file] which currently has the default icon we currently use for all unknown extensions. Although i think a %item-.file% might be needed... for a default setting. Customisable like the rest with its own section.

no it wont mess up, not if you use it correctly:

[file.jpg = file.bmp = file.bmp = file.rar = file.zip = file.txt = file.bat = file.exe = file.gif = file.tgz = file.mpg = file.wmv = file.avi = file.mp3 ETC ETC]
<img src="/template/icons/%item-ext%.gif" alt="" />

this way, only the extensions where an icon have been made for will have the %item-ext% feature.



[file.mpeg]
<img src="/template/icons/mpg.gif" alt="" />

Only a few require this, but its worth it.



and last:

[file] -- for every non-set extension
<img src="/template/icons/file.gif" alt="" />

This will depend on what you have in the [item-comment] section. If it writes just basic text it will work perfectly. But if there is any HTML in the comment it will break.

The alt thing

Code:

alt="text goes here"

only shows up as a cover for if the actual image has not been found or is unavailable.   (right?)

Yes, using ALT and TITLE Attributes creates effective page content.  I use them throughout my site.

Well... You could try title="meeeh" but i think it wont show if you have html in it. Its the default tooltip code.

You could also try the javascript tooltip code I use.... It would require a unique ID, using the sequential feature. so. ID="t%sequential%". Then whatever is in the comment will show in a tooltip. Post back if you want me to make an example that might work.

example, steven.
