How to use many files in one resource?

Hi,

I’m making a portfolio and each entry has several rotating thumbnails. Currently each one is a container with a ’thumbnails’ subfolder, which is filled with thumbnails as statis resources. The structure is rendered to JSON by a snipped and used by frontend interface.

+ entries
+ entry 1
+ thumbnails
+ thumbnail1.jpg
+ thumbnail2.jpg
+ thumbnail3.jpg
+ movie
+ movie_thumbnail.jpg
+ movie.flv
+ gallery
+ image1.jpg
+ image2.jpg
...


Building this structure is very time consuming, so I think about a custom manager page, where I could upload all the thumbnails in one place. I know I could use several image TVs for the thumbnails, but the problem is their number isn’t constant (from 1 to 20).

Is there any easy way to make a page with ’upload’ and ’add another file’ functionality without making a custom page? If not, is there documentation for file upload in revolution already? I’m having a hard time getting info about this topic.

thanks!

you can try this custom-tv-input-type: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,52539.msg304271.html#msg304271
