GridFieldBulkImageUpload

SilverStripe 3 GridField component for uploading images in bulk into the managed DataObject relation, with option to edit fields on the fly. This component takes bit and pieces around from CMSFileAddController, GridFieldDetailForm_ItemRequest, UploadField, and it overrides and adds some behaviors, templates and styles.

Requirments

• SilverStripe 3.0

Installation

• Download and copy module in SilverStripe root directory under 'GridFieldBulkImageUpload'
• Run dev/build?flush=all to regenerate the manifest
• run ?flush=all in CMS to force the templates to regenerate

Usage 1

Simplest usage, add the component to your GridField as below. The component will find the first Image has_one relation on the managed object and it's editable db fields

	:::php
	$config->addComponent(new GridFieldBulkImageUpload());

Usage 2

Same as 1 but you can specify which Image field to use and which fields are editable $imageField: string: The name of the image field to use (should have 'ID' at the end: If your relation is set has 'MyImage' => 'Image', the parameter should be 'MyImageID') $editableFields: array: list of db fields name as string that will be editable like: array('myTextField', 'myVarcharField', 'myEnumField')

	:::php
	$config->addComponent(new GridFieldBulkImageUpload( $imageField, $editableFields ));

Notes

• The HTML form fields for each editable fields are taken from the DataObject's getCMSFields() method
• Only (HTML)Text/Varchar and Enum fields are picked up by the automatic config

@TODO

• Add option to specify upload folder
• Styles: fade back progress to blue once updated
• Handle and display errors better for: creation, update, cancel
• Make it work not only for images -> might need to rename this component then?
