joe_g Posted Tuesday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:54 PM Hi there, In almost every project I find myself wanting to use the images field for being able to drag many images at once to one field. It's super convenient. However then I loose the ability to be able to mix other filetypes in the same collection. Usually, after a while clients come back and want to have a video in there somewhere or perhaps even an embed. Then I have to rethink how that works and by using repeater matrix the interface becomes clunkier (new 'image' -> upload -> new 'video' -> upload, etc). I'm dreaming now but it would be amazing with drag and drop support for repeater matrix, repeater items are automatically created from the file-type (jpg and mp4 mostly). Not sure where I'm going with this, mostly I wanted if I missed something or if this idea could work. I know there are some media library extensions around but I could never befriend them 100%. best J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendonKoz Posted Wednesday at 02:21 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:21 PM @jploch's PAGEGRID sounds like a good match for what you're describing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_g Posted Thursday at 07:59 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 07:59 AM Pagegrid looks like a great visual page builder, that's not what I'm after. I'm after dragging multiple files and have them organize themselves after filetype, so I can have the simplicity of the images field but with the flexibility of the repeater matrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jploch Posted Thursday at 08:07 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:07 AM @joe_g PAGEGRID would still work for this usecase check this post. You can setup the field, so the client can only sort the items and add new ones. I am happy to provide examples here if you want to try it. An alternative to PAGEGRID is adding custom fields to your images/files field. This is a core feature, so no need for additional modules. This way you can let the client select a video/embed as an alternative for the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmclelland Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago There is https://processwire.com/modules/repeater-images/, but that only works for images.
