definition fields for standard new page

Post by giapippo »

Hello everyone
I want to create, like the news module, the ability to have a field defined for an image, even creating a standard pages

Is it possible?

thanks

Have a look at GBFilePicker module and read the help. It provides a nice way for editors to upload and/or select files.

In this topic I posted some backend screenshots of how that can look like for editors:

Ok I think you are making it more complicated than it really is...

News is different than adding pages and contents, so velden pointed out the way to go. Simple and effective. Keep in mind that you can upload files while adding content (actually while in any admin page) just by selecting a bunch of files and dragging them to the top widget with a folder icon and the following label: "Drop files here to upload". They will be uploaded to the current selected folder in FileManager. How much simpler could that be?
Alternatively you can try Cataloger which installs content types that allow you to upload a bunch of images per item (page) the way you want.
