Profield: Table And Gallery?

[tiptronic]

Can I use ProFields:Table to create galleries or user profiles?

btw, before you point me to the screencast: I don't understand a single word (ok, maybe one or two, but it's not enough to be really helpful).

The Table fieldtype doesn't support files or images. Of course a link to an image is really just a file path so you could theoretically store these path in a table field, but you'd have no way to upload the images to the server.

Depending on the size of the gallery and what information you want to record for each image, I would actually recommend using an individual child pages for each image. Otherwise, the new PageTable field might also be a good solution. There isn't much documentation on this yet because it is only available in the dev version, but it is very powerful. It is a core module in the dev version, but not installed by default.

Some links for you:

• Gallery tutorial from Joss which uses a single images field: http://wiki.processwire.com/index.php/Simple_Gallery_System
• Another tutorial from everfreecreative: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3990-another-simple-photo-gallery-tutorial/
• Post from Ryan about the advantages of having one image per page for its ability to store whatever metadata you wish: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/417-extending-image-field/?p=6982

Remember that a "page" in processwire is really just a row in a database file and show shouldn't be considered as being a workaround - it is actually very efficient and effective.
