Let's explain what I mean with a simple example: I have a slider on my website and through a simple Migx the user can put slides into it. I want to limit the amount of slides the user can add. If the slider contains f.e. 5 slides, the user cannot add more slides unless he deletes one.

Can something like this be done in a simple way? Also I was wondering if I could check the size of the slide before it is added?

You can create a MIGX - configuration and just fill out the field
'max MIGX records'
and put into input-options of your MIGX-TV
configurations: theNameOfYourMIGX-Configuration

If you would use this method for uploading the images:
http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/migx/migx.tutorials/migx.use-resource-specific-mediasource-and-multifile-uploader
you can add some additional settings under
http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/migx/migx.tutorials/migx.use-resource-specific-mediasource-and-multifile-uploader#MIGX.Useresource-specificmediasourceandmultifile-uploader-Createthedynamicresourcespecificmediasource
at step 4

Add three new settings to the media source:

thumbX: 200
thumbY: 200
maxFiles: 20
maxFilesizeMb:

resizeconfigs: [{"x":"200","y":"300","alias":"small"},{"x":"400","y":"600","alias":"middle"},{"x":"800","y":"1200","alias":"big"}]

this would create three sizes of all images on upload and put them into different directories
/small/
/middle/
/big/

into the mediasource - directory [ed. note: Bruno17 last edited this post 12 years, 7 months ago.]
