Media Selector Control
Hi,

I want to allow content editors to select one or more images from the Media library for a slideshow without setting an upper limit on the number of images they can select.

I am using the Media Selector form control to allow them to choose their images. But right now I've had to create one Media Selector form for each image they want to choose because it does not look like it supports multiple selections.

Is there any way of setting the 'Media Selector' control to allow multiple selections? And then return the list of media file paths as a list of strings?

Thanks!

RE:Media Selector Control
Hello,

Regrettably, the media selection form control can't select more than one media at time, so you would need to develop your own form control or simulate that non-limit selection by some custom document type and your editors would create as many documents (under some location) as many images they want to display in the slideshow. Each document would have only one field represents one media file (media selection).

Best regards,
Jan Hermann
