I have a model admin interface that manages a DataObject that has Images associated with it. I want to be able to upload images with the swfupload but I also don't need any information stored with the images. No caption, title or anything other than the uploaded date. From looking at the ImageGalleryManager.php file I can see that it is more complex than a simple ImageField. I need to know what things are required to make this work. I see SWFUploadConfig::addPostParam() and SWFUploadField() and handleswfupload(). Are these all that is needed and if so is there any documentation on them anywhere?

Thanks.

I tried something similar, but I used SWFUploadFileIFrameField in my model admin. I see the iFrame but it has a login screen telling me that I don't have permission to access that page. The member I am testing with is not an ADMIN but I still need this to work.

Does SWFUploadFileIFrameField still only work with one file at a time?

Since I am using ModelAdmin and loading images for a specific DataObject, not a page, where do I put the handleswfupload()? Do I make a controller for my ModelAdmin or the DataObject?

What is the exact syntax for 'upload_url' => '?

if I have a controller on a DataObject say "class Student_Controller extends Controller" then is the sytnax:

'upload_url' => '/Student_Controller/handleswfupload' ?

I noticed that in ImageGalleryManager you use Director::absoluteURL() when setting the upload_url, what does that do?

Also why is it that I can only use SWFUploadFileIFrameField in the CMS? That one only allows 1 upload at a time. Is there a way to allow using SWFUploadField in the CMS?
