Silverstripe Images Has Many

Question

I'm quite new to Silverstripe and have been playing around with the CMS.

At the moment I'm stuck... I'm trying to add a $has_many relationship between a DataObject and Images.

I'm finding the documentation on doing something like this quite vague? I know that when you want to add a relationship between two DataObjects you need to add a $many_many and $belongs_many_many relationship but how would I do this with images?

I tried adding images to a $has_many and simply using an upload field but this only causes an error. I also tried keeping the images in $has_one and increasing the upload field setAllowedMaxFileNumber to 10 but this only saves 1 image.

Any help in this regard would greatly be appreciated :)

Thanks!

Incase anyone wants to see the code here is a Pastebin

Answer 1

You need to many_many image, or have an intermediary object that facilitates images.

This is due to the way that SilverStripe stores a models relationships.
