    Hi

    How can I create a MIGX input to allow multiple images to be saved against any document using the specified template (for an image gallary). The form needs to only comply with 1 image field, but allow multiple images to be added. Then using something like fancybox to display the images.

      configure the formtabs with just one image-field:

      [{"caption":"Image","fields":[{"field":"image","caption":"Image","inputTVtype":"image"}]}]


      then add any fancybox - javascript to your template and code the tpl-chunk for getImageList as needed for your fancybox-script.

        -------------------------------

        you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

        I'd recommend adding a field for "title" at least (like the code in the rtfm documentation), as you never know when the client is going to decide he wants a title or a caption (I speak from experience!). The field won't hurt anything if it's left empty.
