Hi Dominic,

If I have understood what you want to do correctly. You could do following:

1. Add a Multi Node Tree Picker to your document type from the uComponents package. This would allow the user to select multiple images from the media section on a single document node.
2. Add a property to the Image media item to contain your image description.
3. Pull the media image and description into the product page using an XSLT macro.

I'll give this a try thanks!

Will it give the end user the means to enter more products themselves?

i've very caveman esk just madea page with rich text editor and put a table in, inserted pics and text adn then insert row for new products hehe

Hi,

Maybe I've not understood correctly, did you want...

1) multiple image/text pairs on a single product page, or

2) multiple product pages each with their own image and a index page showing a list of product images/text pairs?

My suggestion above was for 1) and on reading your reply I'm not sure now if you wanted to acheive 2)

its on a single page, mulit images/text pairs. then i need to make it editable in the content area for the end user with the ablity to add more images/text pairs at will

Hi Dominic

In that case my original suggestion should work.

Here is a snippet of XSLT that should get you going on the right lines for the image

  <xsl:if test="$currentPage/portfolioImages/MultiNodePicker/nodeId">
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/portfolioImages/MultiNodePicker/nodeId">
      <xsl:variable name="node" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(.,false)" />
      <img src="{$node/umbracoFile}"/>

    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:if>

In the example 'portfolioImages' is the alias of the Multi Node Picker which has been set to 'Media' and to store the data in XML format.

Just add a "select" statement in for the new text field you have added into to the Image media type using $node/youraliasname
