Inspired by the V3 sort-nodes solution, I created this multiple media picker with preview and drag n drop sorting. It renders the thumbnail of any image from media gallery. If not an image, will render a folder, or -file icon- if it is a file.

Installed and it works just fine and looks very nice, I am wondering is it possible to add upload Multiple Media (img, pdf or word) feature in the same way?
Thanks.

I forgot to mention for the web.config setting you must make. For the webservice to work remotely ( when you deploy) add the following in system.web : Code:<webServices> <protocols> <add name="HttpPost"/> </protocols> </webServices> John wrote:

No, I'm not planning for upload functionality.

Seems like a great add-on! Could you provide an example showing how it's used in the XSLT-code? I can't seem to get it to display the images on the page? Thanks in advance! /Thomas

Never mind - I figured it out. :) An example that displays all images selected using a picker called 'myImages': Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library"> <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> <xsl:param name="currentPage"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/data[@alias='myImages']/descendant::node,'false')"> <img> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:value-of select="data[@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/> </xsl:attribute> </img> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Works like a charm! I'm going to use it to add banners to my pages. Thanks for a cool add-on!

...you might want to add a check to see if there are any images first, like this: Code:
<xsl:if test="($currentPage/data[@alias='myImages']/descendant::node) != ''">
<!-- the stuff you want to do -->
</xsl:if>

I take this back. There is something wrong with my XSLT-code. I'm using the following XSLT to check if there are any images (or in this case banners) uploaded using the multiple media picker. If there are uploaded banners, I want to get them (loop through them) and print them on the page: Code:
<xsl:if test="($currentPage/data[@alias='selectedBanners']/descendant::node) != ''">
<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/data[@alias='selectedBanners']/descendant::node">
This yields the ID's of the banners. Then I need to get to the actual data, and this is where I fail. I'm trying the following syntax for displaying an image/banner: Code:<img> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(data[@alias = 'umbracoFile'],'false')"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="alt">Banner</xsl:attribute> </img> This generates and XSLT error. If I try this: Code: <img> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:value-of select="data[@alias = 'umbracoFile']"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="alt">Banner</xsl:attribute> </img> ...I get an empty image-tag. Please help me out with this one!

Thomas, here is an example Code:
<xsl:if test="($currentPage/data[@alias='selectedBanners']/descendant::node!='')">
<xsl:variable name="images" select="$currentPage/data[@alias='selectedBanners']"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$images/descendant::node">
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(.,0)/data[@alias='umbracoFile']"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>

Thanks! That did the trick! I guess it was the amount of 'layers' involed when accessing the actual data that confused me (get the page, find the control, find the objects in the control and access the paramters of the objects). I'm still having some trouble with the preview function of the control in the admin. When I open up an admin-page that contains the control, the images in the control are not visible. Only if I save the page or upload a new image to the control, the previews become visible. Empty preview area Preview area after save or upload Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I think it's important that the user can see which images are uploaded in the control. Of course there is the "Check Values"-button, but since it only displays ID-numbers and not the actual images, it's not very user-friendly.

That would be great! :thumbup: Let me know if there is anything else you need to know in order to look into the problem. I'm running Umbraco 3.0.2 on a Windows 2003 Server. /Thomas

Version 0.3 is out. lefMediaGallery had problems when not inserted in the first Tab of a node. That was caused because the inactive tabs have display:none style property. Fixed by injecting javascript click handlers on inactive tabs, to render the Ext Grid. Download Version 0.3 at http://www.joyhost.gr/media/11325-lefmediapicker.0.3.zipPlease report any suggenstions or bugs.

Hi, When I publish a page with the lefMediaPickerData using the main page publish button it works fine. However, if I right-click a parent node and choose 'publish' from the context menu I receive the following error message in the logs. Code:
At /umbraco/dialogs/publish.aspx?id=1203 (Refered by: http://biggartbaillie/umbraco/dialogs/publish.aspx?id=1203): System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.String'.

Would it be possible to fix this error, or release the source code and I'll have a look at fixing it myself? Thanks, Chris

Lefteris,
Probably dumb question, but does the datatype work with non images ie pdf / word etc in media directories?
