Hi Servalman
Have a look at the ImageDataObjectManager, which comes as part of the Data Object manager module.
You basically create a dataobject for your image with a has_one image relationship and can add as many fields as you like. Then when you upload them through the ImageDataObjectManager, it will go through and ask for the details of each image you just uploaded.
Here are the docs for the DOM (they are a little out of date): http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=modules:dataobjectmanager

Hi!
I did it by creating an extension to DataObject, I didn’t manage to make it work as I wanted by extending Image class directly, don’t remember why…
Hope it helps,
Juanmysite/code/MyImage.php
<?php
/*
** You haven't been able to extend directly Image and add the boolean field
*/
class MyImage extends DataObject {
static $db = array (
'ShowImagesTitle' => 'Boolean',
'Legend' => 'Text'
);
static $has_one = array (
'Image' => 'Image',
'Page' => 'Page'
);
public function getCMSFields_forPopup() {
$myImageField = new ImageField('Image');
$myImageField->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg','gif','png'));
return new FieldSet(
$myImageField,
new TextField('Legend'),
new CheckboxField('ShowImagesTitle', 'Show legend')
);
}
}?>
mysite/code/Page.php
// Pages can have many images (see MyImage for the other side of the relation)
public static $has_many = array(
'Images' => 'MyImage'
);And an example of using this in a Menu2 template:
<% if Images %>
<div class="menu2 images">
<% control Images %>
<div>
$Image.SetWidth(209)
<% if ShowImagesTitle %><p>$Legend</p><% end_if %>
</div>
<% end_control %>
</div>
<% end_if %> -

Thank you both for your answers.
I will look at them closely.
But if I undesrtand the process I will be able to upload images with their details then use them later or have them used by someone else in a page.
Am I correct ?
Thanks

What is the workflow that you want to achieve? When you say used by other people on other pages what do you mean? Are you talking about the TinyMCE content editor or some custom image manager?
Also what do you mean by 'use them later'? If you could explain the actual use case that would be helpful.

Thank's for your concern :
I' going to try to be clear.
The project is for an artist who want's to show his work.
step 1 :
Uploading several images with all their details title, dimensions, materials, price etc.step 2 :
showing those pictures in different sections of the website (galleries, text page etc..) sometimes with all the details sometimes with just some of them.step 2.5 (that's an option for later on) :
allowing the website editors to choose wich details they want to showHope i'm clearer ;)

Yes, I think you could use the code sent before for doing that. Just add more checkboxes…
