Multiple Images for an Entry

    Working on my first EE@ site, so I’m still a little shaky on all the concepts.

    I’ve set up a products channel and all the custom fields. But we’re going to need a variable number of images/videos associated to each product. And each image/vid will need thumbnail and full size versions.

    OK, so I know that setting up given upload destinations you can specify EE to create multiple sizes. But how do I do the multiple images per product? Do I use the relationship mechanism?

    Thanks for your help,

    Hi NotoriousWebmaster,

    You should check the following field types:

    Matrix (http://pixelandtonic.com/matrix/docs)
    Channel Images (http://www.devdemon.com/channel_images/)
    Channel Videos (http://www.devdemon.com/channel_videos/)

    Thanks for the reply and pointers Bhashkar. I’ve actually gone ahead with the 1:many relationship solution. But I did have a look at the plugins you recommended. If users not happy with this method, will revisit plugins.

    Thanks again.
