From the preliminary screenshots I’ve seen of something Leevi Graham is working on…well, let’s say there’s some cool stuff sitting on his hard drive, and it might render this thread moot.
Ever since Playa came out, I haven’t used Mark Huot’s multi-relation extension. I was trying to do what you did, but with Playa, which actually rewrites that area of the CP where the radio button for relating to a gallery sits.
No problem, Ryan. Indeed Playa is a very handy extension.
I too am waiting for Leevi and his great looking module.
With File, you can add multiple images and it creates a thumbnail (although I would like to be able to crop this myself like the gallery module) but will Leevis?
I need to be able to create 3 different sizes of image for my portfolio so it would be dead useful.
Steven, are you actually cropping or resizing? If you’re resizing only you can do all that (and cache the resulting images) at the template level with the Imgsizer plugin from Lumis (or phpThumb).

Imgszr doesn’t work for me and I have posted something about it in another thread.
It frustrates me but I have faith in EllisLab to resolve this including -
- Gallery features (resize and multi thumbnail generation) in standard upload section
- Relating weblog entries to gallery categories
Too bad Imgsizer doesn’t work for you - I use that on almost every site.
Have you seen the extension that relates a gallery category to an entry? If not, let me know. There is one out there that is buried way deep in a forum thread that allows for different fields to be related to different galleries.
I have to agree with you - I believe EllisLab listens and will resolve many things regarding the way images are currently handled. I always run into a wall at some point when monkeying with galleries!
Robin threw a rough one together. Then someone modified it to allow for multiple fields, in this post. I’ve used it on a few sites - works as advertised. In a messy turn, you can also find it in this post. I’m pretty sure they’re both the same modified version.
I can’t stand it when there isn’t ONE place to go to get the latest of any ext/mod/plugin!
