I need to be able to upload and link to images – for use with dynamic pages and/or blog entries. I don’t see an obvious way to do that – am i just missing it? Or would I need to create it? It’ll need the standard 2 parts: 1. upload the pic; 2. select a pic for use in your page. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Tom ---

Tom, this feature isn’t in Radiant (yet.) but there is a patch on trac [1] that gets you most of the way there. I believe some other people are working on a more streamlined solution, but it hasn’t been mentioned on the mailing list in a little while, so I’m not sure what is happening there.

Hi, I did the page\_part\_types patch before, which allows having parts of different types. I’m not sure there was a huge interest at it at the time, but I use it for a site that my writers are not very computer capable. For that I have created a few page parts types like - a wysiwyg part, a asynch image upload page (for mass image upload), an event part, a one image upload part and a tags part. If you are interested and if that seems to answer your need you can write back to me, at the moment there is no patch for the 0.5 version. Dror ---

The patch fails with 0.5.2, but I think it is something minor to fix (I ran a bunch of patches at once, so I am not real clear). In any case I have it working. I do have one problem, when one chooses a attachment part\_type, but does not upload an attachtement, I get an error. The if params[:file] should take care of this, but does not seem to. This idea makes Radiant into an even more flexible system. I just created a site with a gallery, using this. Each image is it’s own page, a child of the gallery itself. This allows me to use the normal Radius tags and makes setup a snap. ---

Hi, I don´t know if it works with 0.5.2 simply because I didn´t try it yet, I just upgraded the rails version but still working on an old radiant version. Keith - errors like you get for not attaching a file can be easily taken care of in the code, the code you´re using is more of an example then anything else. I´ll check the patch on 0.5.2 and send updates if needed. Dror ---

Hi, I installed the patch yesterday against 0.5.2 and it seemed to work just fine. Thanks, by the way, it looks like it should work great. -Tom ---

Ruby and I are still getting to know one another. I have everything else working and little remains of your code example, but this one is vexing me. Pointers…? Keith ---

Hey Keith, Took a bit of time and it shouldn’t but I got this solution: In the attahcment\_part\_type.rb, line 25 (might be a bit different in yours), change the condition to: if params[:file] && (params[:file].original\_filename.length \> 0) Dror ---

I also did a multiple upload in an asynch background page\_part, whcih I use afterwards to show galleries. This relies on the Rmagick package. And a small change to the routes.rb file. in your routes.rb add: # Upload Routes map.with\_options(:controller =\> ‘admin/upload’) do |upload| upload.index ‘upload’, :action =\> ‘index’ upload.upload ‘upload/upload’, :action =\> ‘upload’ end put the upload\_controller into app/controllers/admin the multiple\_upload\_part\_type into app/page\_part\_types (or whereever you keep them) and the view.rar open into app/views/admin Hope I didn’t forget anything Dror ---

The upload indicator times out and then the images are not processed… Keith B. ---

Sorry, This is mainly for my own use, the script is only there for the page\_part\_type, any actual page\_part you use doesn’t have any script for it. But for most the code is pretty simple so you obviously figured it out from there. Dror ---

Once again, answered my own question: the included scripts do not make the thumb and large folders, these must be made or it breaks. It is easy to change this. Other than that, this is pretty slick. Keith B. ---

I never enocuntered this problem, and I do add or remove images quite a lot. We remove images by just taking them off the list at the top. I’ld be interested to see your fix. One thing that I have to admit makes me unhappy with the code at the moment is that it all goes to the same directory, I’ld like it to go to a directory tree similar to the slug, or something of the sort. I hope I’ld get that done and then upload another copy of it. Dror ---

I am still getting the validation problem whenever I add or remove images. I am really not sure what is going on, but I think getting some sleep and attacking it in the morning withour stress might help. As for the folders, I built something like that with the normal uploads. Each page has its own folder. With the galleries and seperate controller, it is a bit more difficult, but shouldn’t be a problem. I will see what I can do. Another thing I would like to do, is display the images in the page in the admin section. This shouldn’t be a technical problem, but a design one. I am already showing the article images this way, so I just need to figure out how to best present the thumbnails. Keith ---

I do have one question: I would like to be able to add photos once the gallery is started. You seem to have programmed that, but when I upload a second photo, I get a validation error… I will eventually track it down, but maybe you have already found the problem. Dpn’t worry, I realize that this code is not quite done. I enjoy it nonetheless and it has helped me a lot… Keith ---
