Separate upload- and template options in files section
Files section, according to the Docs: property: template, Description: Filters all files by template and also sets the template, which will be used for all uploads
Here's an example of a files field with the following select & upload options:
fields:
cover:
type: files
query: page.images
uploads:
template: cover
and a files section on the same page:
sections:
images:
type: files
this section displays all files of the page, allowing me to edit / delete individual files with any template (incl. cover
),
but when uploading via this section, no template will be assigned to the file.
Now the following setting
sections:
images:
type: files
template: default
will assign a default
template to the uploaded file, but won't display files with other templates assigned, which makes it impossible to edit / delete a file with the template cover
from this section. I would need an extra files section for that.
I think, a files section with separate template
and upload
options (similar to a files field) could avoid having unnecessary extra files sections just for the purpose of editing / deleting files with various assigned templates.
sections:
images:
type: files
uploads: default # define a template to be assigned on upload
template: # optional (default shows all files with any template)
- default
- someothertemplate
Or did I miss a solution to my problem? 🤔
If you need a workaround for the time being, you could assign a template to the files via a file.upload.after
hook.
Thanks for the suggestion, @texnixe,
this means, on the frontend, I can't filter by the template anymore, if I wanted to skip the cover
file, right?
foreach($page->files()->filterBy('template', 'default') as $file):
...
I would have to add an additional field in the file blueprint:
# files/cover
extraFilterField: cover
# files/default
extraFilterField: default
and then on the frontend:
foreach($page->files()->filterBy('extraFilterField', 'default') as $file):
...
