The ezmedia datatype (Media)

Class eZMediaType in kernel/classes/datatypes/ezmedia/ezmediatype.php; identifier ezmedia, listed in settings/content.ini [DataTypeSettings] AvailableDataTypes[].

What it stores

The columns of the attribute tables its class reads or writes: data_int1, data_text1 (data_text, data_int, data_float and sort_key_* are the object attribute's; data_text1 ... data_int4 the class attribute's settings). Found by reading the class: a heuristic. It is can be filled from an uploaded file.

In templates

my_attribute stands for the identifier of an attribute of this type in your class:

{def $attribute = $node.data_map.my_attribute}
{if $attribute.has_content}
    {attribute_view_gui attribute=$attribute}
{/if}
{* the value as the datatype returns it (objectAttributeContent()) *}
{$attribute.content|attribute( show, 1 )}

The shipped template that shows it (attribute_view_gui), design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezmedia.tpl (first 25 lines):

{* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! Use an override template instead. *}
{if $attribute.content.filename}
