Hi everyone,
I want to create an “Image Gallery” Channel with monthly Entries and ordered Images. This is my setup:
Channel:
“Image Gallery”
Custom Fields:
- “Title” (Text Input)
- “Image” (File)
- “Order” (Text Input)
Categories:
- “Jan 2009”
- “Feb 2009”
- “Mar 2009”
- ...
One Entry is assigned to one Category.
One Category holds ~35 Images (= ~35 Entries)
With EE 1.6.x, I would probably use FF Matrix to realize this. But unfortunately, FF Matrix is not yet available for EE 2.0, so I have to do the order by myself.
I also thought about using the default Entry Date Field, but this does only work, if there are less entries then days in a month…
Even Low’s Reorder Add-On cannot do this job, because there, the reordering it is based on Channels, not on Categories; so I get a list of hundreds (~35 Images/Entries per Category) of Entries…
If it would be possible to use Low’s Add-On to reorder Entries in one Channel grouped by their Category, everything would be fine 😉
Do you have any tips/best practices on how to order Entries inside of a Category?
Thank you for any advice!!
