Visually select images using a field type in PyroCMS

How To Use

Basics

• Add the field type as you would normally
• Choose "Image Select" as the type
• Choose a parent folder to draw images from
• Enjoy it on a page

In the layout

This field returns the image file that you selected. So it has all the properties you will need. But here is the basic usage.

{{ files:image id=page:my_chosen_slug:id }}

or maybe something a little more custom

<img src="{{ page:my_chosen_slug:path }}" title="{{ page:my_chosen_slug:name }}" id="{{ page:my_chosen_slug:id }}">

Upcoming

• Multi-Select
• Ordering

pyro-image-select's Issues

View options just shows "Array"

Ideally it would show the thumbnail as per the core Image fieldtype, but even showing the filename would be useful.

Sub-folders, multi-select and ordering

So I merged the changes from @eelke to add subfolders and there were a couple of issues.

• pulls images from folders other than the one specified
• choosing an image inside a folder does not re-highlight/select upon save

For these reasons I've rolled back to version 1.1.0.

I would suggest we create a new branch for sub-folders, multi-select and ordering ala the way the Pyro core does features.

Admin: Can't use more than 1 Image Select in a page, due to generic jquery selection

Great start James!

There's an issue in the admin side of things, and I'm not sure if this is covered in your TODO.

Situation

• add 2 Image Select fields, say "image_field_1" and "image_field_2" to a page type
• create new page with said page type
• select an image in image_field_1
• select an image in image_field_2: now the selection in image_field_1 is lost

ETA multi select

Like the title says, do you have an estimated time when you'll be able to include the multi-select?
