CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

I have been trying to find a way of selecting and adding multiple images to an image slider on the admin content page. For example, a jQuery slider that auto paginates.

I know GBfilepicker allows you to upload/select a single image, but it doesn't appear to give the option to select/upload and choose more than one. Also, {content_image} only allows selection of a single image too.

To illustrate my point, i have done some crude photoshopping of a content page: Anyone know a way of doing this or similar? Perhaps advanced content?

Cheers.

Bump!

Anyone have an idea about this?

There is no module i know that would give you bulk upload when edting page.
You could use Gallery module for this task and create a Dropdown to select Gallery with AdvancedContent when editing page.

I incorporated this into a Vehicle Listing module some time ago, it will allow uploading a zip file with images and attach them to a particular vehicle listing.

I haven't updated the module for cmsms 1.10
It would not be difficult to put a module together for that one purpose..

Why not just create multiple additional content blocks and upload an image to each one and then use assign for the content blocks and in order to test whether or not it exists and show if it does. With a jQuery slider you are more than likely to have a maximum number of images you wish to show.

Another alternative is to use a naming convention for the images based on the page alias i.e. p-servives1.jpg, p-services2.jpg and then add in your page template a content block to enter the number of images you wish to show. Then just use the File Manager to upload to a specific directory.
