Hi there, I have extended your plugin by adding some custom fields to photo model. This works and I can successfully added my details to the fields however, these fields are not visible when I try to edit the photo from photo list present in the album.

can you guys help me how can I extend the view of the added fields in Albums too.

Thanks

Hi

Photo list and edit form are available in the album controller via Relation manager, you can check out controllers/albums/config_relation.yaml. So I guess it is up to Relation manager controller to pick up your additional fields. I'm not sure whether it can do it or not.

Hi Graker, Thanks for your prompt response. Let me check on to this and get back with you.

Hi Graker,

I solved it by using Event::listen('backend.form.extendFieldsBefore', function($widget) {}

I wanted to ask, when accessing [albumList.latestPhoto.thumb] this gives me a cropped photo on the frontend, how can I get the exact dimensions of the images.

latestPhoto is a relation on each album returning a Photo model of either most recent picture or the one specifically selected as "front" in album settings. So with it being a Photo model, you can access the image through latestPhoto.image as $photo->image is a usual October image file model. So you can get full path to the image using latestPhoto.image.path.
