Multiple images

  • Hi,

    I’m curious if this plugin is able to attach multiple images to a single record, and then later I would be able to retrieve / display those images in a slider or carousel type of fashion?

    I’m quite new to the plugin, but I believe I saw somewhere the plugin references images in the media library, so it stands to reason that it would store the image paths in the database, and then a function could be created to get the image paths from the specific record and drop them into a bootstrap style carousel, yes?

    Or is that over-simplifying the task?

    thanks!

    Hi Nick,

    You can add multiple images to a table column. You just need to set the column data type to something like varchar(200). Documented here: https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-explorer/table-and-view-settings/#column-settings (see: Multiple and single media columns). But I never though about using these images in a slider or carousel. Interesting idea! ??

    One the items on my to do list, is to add a column which allows computed values. I’ve added your idea to the computed values requirement, but it might take some time before I get to that. Please be patient…

    Simple solutions are usually the best! ??

    Thank you for your great idea,
    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    Thank you for the link, I will study it.

    I’m glad you like the idea. Ultimately I’m trying to create several pages, a “results” page, that shows a single image, then when the user clicks on the record link, takes them to a detail page where they can view all the images / info associated with that record and display the images in a carousel / lightbox type of fashion.

    Again appreciate your hard work on this plugin, it looks awesome.
