Do you mean an association?

Hi kevinr.
This is my problem: I have many files in the alf_data directory. This files (video keyframe) have been created by myextracter class when I upload a mpeg content. Now I have to associate this keyframes (.jpg) to the uploaded video.
How can I do that?

I hope that you understand me!! :cry:

P.S. Keyframes are NOT into the alfresco's repository, they are into the filesystem.

To use Alfresco associations you would need to add the keyframes to the repository.

Another option is to use a custom view based on a FreeMarker template or a WebScript. You could then generate HREF links to your external content assuming they are within the webserver accessable filesystem.

Hi kenvir,
I'm trying with the associations and this is my videomodel.xml

<aspects>
      <aspect name="my:videoClassification2">
         <title>Dettagli Video File</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="my:keyframes">
         <title>KeyFrames</title>
         
               <type>d:text</type>
         <!— Index content in the background –>
               <index enabled="true">
                  <atomic>true</atomic>
                  <stored>false</stored>
                  <tokenised>true</tokenised>
               </index>
            </property>
      </properties>
     <associations>
            <child-association name="my:frame">
         <source>
         <mandatory>false</mandatory>
         <many>true</many>
        </source> 
               <target>
                  <class>cm:content</class>
                  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
                  <many>true</many>
               </target>
            </child-association>
      </associations> 
   </aspect>

What is the procedure to upload the keyframes in Alfresco and how do I match them to a video?
Can you give me an example please?
