I've got a site that currently has a one-to-one page-to-file relationship, created by adding this to my page.ss code; in the Page extends SiteTree...

static $has_one = array(
"Download" => "File",
);

...and in function getCMSFields()...

$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Download", new FileIFrameField("Download"));

What I want to be able to do is to upload multiple files to the same page. I see some people have had success with one->many image relationships...

Would a similar approach be feasible, using something like a hasmanycomplextablefield? Any suggestions, advice is welcome. Cheers.

I don't see why not.

The example in this post looks pretty much like what you're after:
http://www.silverstripe.com/general-discussion/flat/5853

Could you not make a dropdown for each line item, which points to an asset in the system? Or, are you looking to have a file uploader for each item, so you upload the file on the spot?

"Or, are you looking to have a file uploader for each item, so you upload the file on the spot?"

Yep, that one.

The FileIFrameField gives the exact functionality I require for a single file (ie. I can upload a new file to the system, or select an existing one from the filestore), I just need to duplicate that behaviour multiple times on the same page.

The way I envision it is that when you upload/add the first file, a second FileIFrameField appears upon the first file being attached to that page. ie. you've always got count(submitted FileIFrameFields)+1 on the admin page.

The last post by jam13 on the http://drupal.org/node/155743 thread does look like what I'm after - I just haven't implemented a HasManyComplexTableField before, so was wondering if it was going to do the job for me in this instance. One way to find out, I suppose...

I'd be interested if you come up with a good solution for this. I eventually abandoned it and went for a workaround solution because HasManyComplexTableField wasn't a very practical system for Images (or I imagine files).

That's just what I'm searching at the Moment. Hay anyone found the solution to that?
It would be greatly more User friendly if it could act that way.

I got problems using the FileIFrameField on the HasManyComplexTableField realtion. The solution that was shown here: http://www.silverstripe.com/general-discussion/flat/5853
