Hi all,

I am new to GX2. Is it possible to associate gallery images to content items in the control panel or do you have to use the Gallery Extend form?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi, looks like you already found Mitch’s answer in this thread.

Hi Random Seed,

You can also do it in the Control Panel, although I think it’s more of a pain in the ass to do so (if I remember correctly). I think you can use related entries where you relate the gallery image to the weblog entry. Does that make sense?

Hi WM,

Thanks for the reply. As far as I know you can only relate weblog’s or galleries. I am creating an art site with exhibitions. Each exhibition will have a collection of images associated with it. So for my application, I really need to associate gallery categories to each exhibition entry, each gallery category containing the images for each particular entry. Does GX2 add entries to a weblog that you can then relate with your main weblog? How do people normally handle this from the CP with GX2?

Thanks

Sometimes you have to find a solution that isn’t the one that immediately comes to you. Why not relate gallery entries/images directly with the weblog entries? You can definitely do that using related entries.

I haven’t found an ideal way to deal with images and the CP. A site I built for a client relied on them editing/managing via the weblog entries, but adding new entries was done only through the front end that I built for them - same interface as for their users.
