&lt;p&gt;The system can display any files that are viewable in a web browser. If the file format is not viewable from within a web browser, the system provides a link for customers to download the file. The file can then be viewed locally in the associated application. In the same way, other file formats that will open in a web browser can be added to the system by inputting the opening code into the media type section of the admin area. Current default file types are: gif, jpg, au, avi, aif, htm, html, mid, mp3, mpg, mov, png, ra, ram, rar, swf, wav, zip, wma, wmv and pdf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The media type feature allows you to add new media types, edit or delete existing media types. The media type code will be used to open the media when it&#039;s displayed on the media detail page. If you need to add a new media type that is not in the list, you can add it to the database using the add feature by clicking on the &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/add.gif&quot; alt=&quot;arrow&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; icon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To Add a new file type&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on the &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/add.gif&quot; alt=&quot;arrow&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; icon to add a new media file type. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extension:&lt;/strong&gt; this is the file&#039;s extension. It should not contain a dot.&lt;br /&gt;e.g. for media .mp3 the entered characters should be &lt;strong&gt;mp3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Player Type&lt;/strong&gt;: Only use this field when you have more than a player for the same file type. &lt;br /&gt;e.g. for the video file type, you could add a QuickTime Player and a Windows Player for users to switch from one to the other. You will need to add the opening code for each type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Label&lt;/strong&gt;: Only use this field when you have more than a player for the same file type. The system will only show this on the Media Detail page for users to switch to another media player when it detects that there is more than one player for the selected media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Opening Code: &lt;/strong&gt;Enter the code that will be used to open the media. The code should not contain any actual file paths (see the following example).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;lt;EMBED src=&quot;[FILENAME]&quot; type=&quot;audio/mp3&quot; hidden=true autostart=true loop=true height=1 width=1&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/EMBED&amp;gt;&amp;lt;table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;tr&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;td align=center&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font face=&quot;Verdana,Arial,Helvetica&quot; size=1&amp;gt;Having trouble hearing this file?&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font face=&quot;Verdana,Arial,Helvetica&quot; size=2&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=&quot;[FILENAME]&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Click here to download it!&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/td&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/tr&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/table&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The system will replace the [FILENAME] tag with a real system file name. So when adding a new opening code, simply replace the actual file path with the [FILENAME] tag. If you are not sure about this code, please see other sample codes that are already available in the system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; If you want to use a unique width and height values for all of your file types, just replace your current width and height values with the &lt;strong&gt;[WIDTH]&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;[HEIGHT]&lt;/strong&gt; tags. e.g. your file type code has a &lt;strong&gt;width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;200&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;, just replace these with &lt;strong&gt;width=&quot;[WIDTH]&quot; height=&quot;[HEIGHT]&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;. After making this change, you can update all of your file type&#039;s width and height by editing the &lt;strong&gt;Default Width&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Default Height&lt;/strong&gt; fields in the &lt;strong&gt;Quick View Media Configuration&lt;/strong&gt; section of the &lt;strong&gt;Media Configuration&lt;/strong&gt; page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can add the media description field (media properties section) to the image&#039;s alt tag&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt; by checking the &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Show Media Description on its Alt Tag&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; option in the General Configuration. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;You will also need to make sure that you have the following entered into the Opening Code for the jpg file type (&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Media Type&lt;/span&gt; section). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;img src=&quot;[FILENAME]&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;[WIDTH]&quot; height=&quot;[HEIGHT]&quot; alt=&quot;[ALT]&quot; title=&quot;&quot; /&amp;gt;. Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;ou can also add floating IPTC calls to the opening code, e.g. alt=&quot;[caption]&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To Edit a file type&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on the Edit &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/edit.gif&quot; alt=&quot;edit&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; icon for the target media type.&lt;br /&gt;Edit the opening code as required.&lt;br /&gt;Click the &lt;strong&gt;Submit&lt;/strong&gt; button to save the changes.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To Delete a file type &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click on the Delete &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/delete.gif&quot; alt=&quot;delete&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; icon for the target media type.&lt;br /&gt;You will need to confirm the delete action by clicking on the &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/apply.gif&quot; alt=&quot;yes&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; icon on the confirmation page. Stockbox recommends that you do not delete any media types, as they may be needed sometime in the future. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
