Hi Guys

So what I'm doing is creating a gallery. I've created a gallery page and a gallery list page.

I am uploading multiple images per post which is correct, however on the list page I only want to display the first photo that was uploaded as the main thumbnail? How is this done?

Code: Select all

<cms:show_repeatable 'photos'>
       <img class="img-responsive" src="<cms:show portfolio_photo />" alt=""/>
       </cms:show_repeatable>

At the moment it is pulling all the uploaded images.

Please, modify it as

Code: Select all

<cms:show_repeatable 'photos'>
   <cms:if k_count = '1' >
       <img class="img-responsive" src="<cms:show portfolio_photo />" alt=""/>
   </cms:if >
</cms:show_repeatable>

If you place <cms:dump /> inside cms:show_repeatable block, you'd see k_count as one of available helping variables.

Thank you, works perfectly. One thing I forgot to ask - if you have a checkbox for each photo, how do you only display the photos that are checked?

Code: Select all

<cms:repeatable name='photos' label='Photos'>
       <cms:editable name="gallery" desc="Show in gallery" opt_values='Yes' type='checkbox'/>
       <cms:editable name='portfolio_photo' type='image' crop='1' width='150' height='150' input_width='100'/>
    </cms:repeatable>

Code: Select all

<cms:show_repeatable 'photos'>
   <cms:if k_count = '1' && gallery>
       <img class="img-responsive" src="<cms:show portfolio_photo />" alt=""/>
   </cms:if >
</cms:show_repeatable>

The code above outputs only first image AND if it is checked.

If picture is unchecked, then your variable gallery has no value; if checked, it has *some* value ('Yes' in your case). We can take advantage of that and proceed if value is set, without checking what exact value is there (link)

Please allow a suggestion:

<cms:editable name="gallery" desc="Show in gallery" opt_values='Yes' type='checkbox' col_width='50' />

Fantastic Your suggestion is greatly appreciated and most welcome.

I am happy to be here because of the feedback like yours Thanks.

If I may ask one more question regarding the checkbox code below. How would I show the latest 8 images the have been checked?

Code: Select all

<cms:show_repeatable 'photos'>
   <cms:if k_count = '1' && gallery>
       <img class="img-responsive" src="<cms:show portfolio_photo />" alt=""/>
   </cms:if >
</cms:show_repeatable>

This is my template:

Code: Select all

<cms:template title='Portfolio' clonable='1'>    
    
    <cms:repeatable name='photos' label='Photos'>
       <cms:editable name="gallery" desc="Show in gallery" opt_values='Yes' type='checkbox' col_width='50'/>
       <cms:editable name='portfolio_photo' type='image' input_width='100'/>
    </cms:repeatable>
    
    <cms:folder name='weddings' title='Weddings'/>
    <cms:folder name='street' title='Street'/>
</cms:template>

I see at least 3 definitions of 'the latest'. Could you elaborate?

[trendoman]

Code: Select all

<cms:hide>1. SHOW ONLY CHECKED AND REMEMBER THEM IN REVERSED ORDER</cms:hide>
<cms:show_repeatable 'photos'>
<cms:capture into='reversed_order' >
   <cms:if gallery >
       <img class="img-responsive" src="<cms:show portfolio_photo />" alt=""/> | 
       <cms:show reversed_order />
   </cms:if >
</cms:capture>  
</cms:show_repeatable>

<cms:hide>2. TAKE THE LIST SEPARATED WITH " | " AND SHOW ONLY 8 ELEMENTS</cms:hide>  
<cms:each var=reversed_order as='item' sep='|' >
<cms:if k_count le '8' >
    <cms:show item />
</cms:if>
</cms:each>

The code above will show 8 checked elements (or less) from the bottom of repeatable region (i.e. starting from last added row and going up, heading to first). Hope this is what you need

Have you checked the Gallery Core Concept? It is pretty powerful and things can be ordered by date, name, sorted asc/desc etc, because it is based on ordinary cloned pages. Uploading multiple photos at once also is a nice option.

Awesome, will definitely check the gallery core concept out. Thanks again!
