Seconded, featured image generation is a must!

Thanks Esmi.

I’m thinking of building the main site in WP and then constructing a separate CMS for the Flash assets in Drupal, outside of WP.

Cheers for the info.

Thanks again for the info. i’m beginning to get this.

I can’t use a video player plugin. Basically, the site is for a large music label, the Flash elements are all bespoke rich-media elements. The top one being an artist carousel that will allow the user to glide through cut-outs of all the artists with interactive audio, video, news, all richly animated.

I’m hoping to data-drive this and another video player section that will playback music videos, interviews etc.

It doesn’t look like this is possible with WordPress which i’m kind of surprised about tbh.

So the only way to add a new table to the DB is to do so via a plugin and the only way to add a custom admin section to the CMS is via a plugin? I think i’ll just embed the Flash and have it look to a separate DB, can you at least add a link to the admin panel to point out to this other CMS?

Thanks.

Thanks. Ok, so when you add a new section to the site, new entries are added to these tables.

Could you not add a new table in phpmyadmin to the DB to serve just this Flash content? Could you not add a custom section to the WP CMS to update this table?

Basically, how do people data-drive Flash using WordPress? All i want is to be able to create a custom Flash video player and use WordPress as the CMS to update the database on which this is based. Surely people have driven Flash with WP before?

Thanks for the info.
