Hey, I’m looking to try and implement a feature that I love, that I’ve seen on another site.
You can see the feature here -
http://www.thewiebners.com/blog.cfm
You will see along the top of the page a grid of ‘Favorite Photos’. Each image in each blog entry is attached to a button to ‘Vote as a favorite’. These votes are tallied and the viewers’ favorite images appear at the top of the blog. Very cool!
I have been trying to conceive of a way this might be possible in EE. My first thought was Solspace’s Diggie module, but as far as I know this works for entries, not elements within entries.
We need to post multiple images per entry, sometimes up to 30. As such, even a separate custom field for each image would probably be too cumbersome for everyday use. But if that is the only way, it might be workable.
It would be great if this could somehow be automated. Right now we use the EE file browser to find the uploaded images, and batch ‘insert links’ them into a single field, ie 30 continuous <img> tags.
I know this is a tall order and I can’t begin to figure it out. I am wondering if any of you have any ideas on how this might be reasonably achieved in EE.
Thanks for your time and any suggestions you might have!
