Hi,

I am looking of a way I can put a form into the properties area of a template so as to list multiple items.

For example:
ON each page i want the following fields in the properties,
Title
Image
URL
Content

so code an area into my template like so 
<?php $file = $c->getAttribute("project_image");
if (is_object($file)) {
$im = Loader::helper('image');
$im->output($file);} ?>
<?php if (is_object($image)) {$im->output($image);}?>
<?php echo $c->getAttribute('project_title')?>
<a href="mailto:<?php echo $c->getAttribute('project_url')?>"><?php echo $c->getAttribute('project_url')?></a>
<?php echo $c->getAttribute('project_comment')?>


but how could I code it so that instead of putting 4 attributes into the properties I had one that you pressed add and it added the 4 fields.

The in my template cycle through the 4 fields for every instance listed.

Hopefully that make sense.

Ultimately I would like
Title 1
Image 1
URL 1
Content 1

Title 2
Image 2
URL 2
Content 2

etc...

appearing in my template.

Without really understanding what you are trying to accomplish, you could try creating a select property called "Form" and list all the form options, then load the appropriate form using a case statement in the template file.

$formProp = Page::getCurrentPage()->getAttribute('form');
switch ($formProp) {
   case 'form1':
      // form1 html here...
      break;
   case 'form2':
      // form2 html here...
      break;
}

Thanks, but what I am trying to achieve is this.

Go to properties, click project, add new project which has 4 fields, if you want to add anothe click add project again and another for fuels shows up.

Then this shows up on template page

I would recommend setting up a block for the form, either using the standard Form block or a custom block created with Designer Content (http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/designer-content/). If you want these blocks to load by default when a page is created, just create a custom Page Type then add the form(s) as default blocks.

Your other option is to create a custom page attribute. Although I have never created one with multiple fields, I think it may be possible.
