c5 v5.6 related: Block Creation: Multiple set of group of fields in one instance.
Permalink
Hi Guys,
I badly need your help. Can you at least direct me on how to create a block where you can add multiple set of group of fields in one instance.
Ex. flow of the block. Lets call it image gallery
Click Add Image
--Set 1 (image field (al->image), image field hover (al->image), image name(textbox))
Click Add Image
--Set 2 (image field (al->image), image field hover (al->image), image name(textbox))
Click Add Image
--Set 3 (image field (al->image), image field hover (al->image), image name(textbox))
Clive Save.
In one instance of a block you have 3 images with hover and name fields.
I know ajax will be used for this but I'm having a hard time to implement it.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
J

If its a variable number of fields, put your images in a fileset and your block can simply loop through the fileset. There are examples in the list files from set addon

Or you could use designer content pro to boilerplate a filepicker interface and listing.
If you want to create a block from scratch with a variable number of images, this howto can help with storage options.

Finally, you could also use my Magic Data and Uber List addons to create a list of files and format their display. https://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/uber-list/...
