Image field with featured flag

[jsantari]

If I create a structure like this for photo galleries is it possible to mark an image as featured so I could select images from any of the galleries to display in a featured area? It looks like images only have one additional value the description so it seems to me that this approach won't work.

/photos/gallery-1

/photos/gallery-2

/photos/gallery-3 etc.

Is it possible to do it this way in PW or do I need to look at using the one page per image approach?

Not sure if this topic would help?

enable tags on image field..

use tag 'featured'

$images = $page->images->findTag('featured');

or get first an array of all images from the template gallery or whatever then run your findTag on that array

Aaah...Alternatively, reminds me of this thread

https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3865-image-tags/

See Soma's solution (and comments) on that thread.... Something like this..

$images = $pages->get('/photos/')->children("image.tags=featured");

@Macrura,

Thanks for the pointers!
