MaxiGallery and Form processing integration advice

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, hope so.

Was just after some advice on enhancing the MaxiGallery submission form to allow further information to be stored. What would be the best way to achieve this?

I’ve noticed various form solution snippets in the Repository, particularly FormProcessor, would some form of intergration be possible?

Equally, how difficult would it be to modify MaxiGallery to retrive and display any information saved?

Any tips appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve

BTW How is 0.5 going? I’m afraid I cant seem to make head nor tail of the SVN and Trac thingy

I have added Spanish Title and Description fields to MG, and it works like a charm. Just search through the snippet code for one of the standard variables and add similar lines of code for your new info. You can manually add the new tables to your database using phpMyAdmin or a similar tool or you can update the table creation code in the snippet itself.

Thanks Zap, I shall attempt this.

How did you deal with outputting the new fields? Similar approach?

Is there no value in making use of an intelligent form snippet then?

Well, the code in the snippet selects all fields from the database for each image, so you can just reference your new ones by name the same way that the others are used (e.g., $pics[$i][’your_new_field’]).
