ComplexTableField with Images

16 September 2008 at 10:47pm
Hey,
What I'm trying to get is a ComplexTableField with thumbnails of images (as table column) and some string columns in CMS tab. I don't really need to upload images, i just need a preview of images, since i'll need this to add descriptions to images.
My ideas for solution:
1. Pass Image data (URL, width, height) as a string to CTF and interpret data through custom template. (how to get this data from Image datatype, defining CTF?)
2. Override CTF item rendering method (but i haven't a clue where to start)Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks, -

Hi,
I already succeed doing this before.. but it was as a test and i deleted the code after.
But, as a tiny clue, here are some tracks I followed:
- (php) extending the ComplexTableField php class
- redecorating the same class (see: dataobjectdecorator)As far as I remember I finished by redefining an .ss file that renders the table in the CMS (found a post on the forum on how to do it) and extending the php class in order to add a function that returns an Image dataobjectset so that I could loop on it in the ss file.
Hopes that helps.
