Extending

[pinkp]

Hi Frank, I'm finding this module great except the latest version seems tricky to extend. For example to get another field for each image such as "PhotoTitle" I had to add the following. Seems a bit much, am I going about this the wrong way? (it works).

gallerypage.php

public function PhotoTitle() {

//TODO: Make this more generic and not require a db query each time
$controller = Controller::curr();
    $page = $controller->data();

$joinObj = GalleryPage_Images::get()
        ->where("\"GalleryPageID\" = '{$page->ID}' AND \"ImageID\" = '{$this->owner->ID}'")
        ->first();

    return $joinObj->PhotoTitle;

}

---

class GalleryPage_Images extends DataObject {

static $db = array (
'GalleryPageID' => 'Int',
'ImageID' => 'Int',
'Caption' => 'Text',
'SortOrder' => 'Int',
'PhotoTitle' => 'Text',

); }

---

public function getUploadFields() {

$fields = $this->owner->getCMSFields();

$fileAttributes = $fields->fieldByName('Root.Main.FilePreview')->fieldByName('FilePreviewData');
$fileAttributes->push(TextField::create('PhotoTitle', 'PhotoTitle:'));
$fileAttributes->push(TextareaField::create('Caption', 'Description:')->setRows(5));

---

galleryuploadfield.php

$data = array(
        'Caption' => $joinObj->Caption,
        'PhotoTitle' => $joinObj->PhotoTitle    
    );
    $form->loadDataFrom($data);

    $form->addExtraClass('small');
    return $form;
}

Hi @pinkp I've changed the module now so that it is much easier to "extend" the gallery - or at least apply gallery functionality to any page type you like. Hopefully this is more flexible and sorts out this issue - please give the new 1.0 version a try and let me know!
