Pulling the gallery media from specific field

The CMS Questions
1

For my album template I got the same controller like in starterkit:

<?php
return function ($page) {
    $gallery = $page->images()->sortBy('sort', 'filename');
    return [
        'gallery' => $gallery
    ];
};

in my album template i got this section (moodboard):

        moodboard:
          label: Moodboard
          type: files
          layout: cards
          template: image
          info: "{{ file.dimensions }}"
          image:
            ratio: 5/4
            cover: true
          size: small

Is there a way to specificaly configure album controller to pull only files defined by “moodboard” and not all images uploaded in that folder? :slight_smile:

Yes, xou can filter them by the template you attach via this section

$page->images()->template('image')->sortBy('sort', 'filename');

Hey texnixe - thanks!

now I have this situation, that media isn’t shown when uploaded to moodboard field. I’ve got this message when showing files uploaded to moodboard:

image
image1238×356 20 KB

This is my setup:
I’ve modified the section of album template to this (added template moodboard) to differentiate to another part of blueprint where cover image is uploaded. Moodboard is a gallery.

blueprint/pages/album.yml
....
moodboard:
 label: Moodboard
 type: files
 layout: cards
 template: moodboard
 info: "{{ file.dimensions }}"
 image:
 ratio: 5/4
 cover: true
 size: small

and I created a moodboard file template:

blueprint/files/moodboard.yml
....
title: Moodboard

accept: 
  type: image

columns:
  - width: 1/2
    sections:
      content:
        type: fields
        fields:
          caption:
            label: Caption
            type: textarea
            size: medium
  - width: 1/2
    sections:
      meta:
        type: fields
        fields:
          alt:
            label: Alternative Text
            type: text

And album controller is the same like You adviced to do :slight_smile:

If you change the file template mid-way in the section, the files will not automatically update. So you have to either manually change the template in your file meta data, or programmatically.

I added completely new project, somehow it doesn’t register that it should use moodboard file template when uploading the file to that field?

In my album blueprint template I got two file sections and this setup:

album.yml file sections:
...
moodboard:
  headline: Moodboard
  type: files
  layout: cards
  template: moodboard
  info: "{{ file.dimensions }}"
  image:
    ratio: 5/4
    cover: true
  size: small
cover:
  headline: Cover
  type: files
  layout: cards
  template: cover
  info: "{{ file.dimensions }}"
  max: 1

blueprint/files/moodboard.yml:
...
title: Moodboard
accept: 
  type: image
columns:
  - width: 1/2
    sections:
      content:
        type: fields
        fields:
          caption:
            label: Caption
            type: textarea
            size: medium
  - width: 1/2
    sections:
      meta:
        type: fields
        fields:
          alt:
            label: Alternative Text
            type: text

blueprint/files/cover.yml:
...
title: Image
accept: 
  type: image
columns:
  - width: 1/2
    sections:
      content:
        type: fields
        fields:
          caption:
            label: Caption
            type: textarea
            size: medium
  - width: 1/2
    sections:
      meta:
        type: fields
        fields:
          alt:
            label: Alternative Text
            type: text
          photographer:
            label: Photogapher
            type: text
            width: 2/3
          license:
            label: License
            type: select
            width: 1/3
            options:
              - Unsplash
              - CC BY 4.0
              - CC BY-SA 4.0
              - CC BY-NC 4.0
              - CC BY-ND 4.0
          link:
            label: Link
            type: url

If moodboard is a files field (instead of a section), then you have to set the upload property, not a template property.

Great - that worked. Thank you for your patience :slight_smile:
