Sitefinity Custom Module and the MultiImageFieldElement

Posted by Community Admin on 12-Sep-2011 00:00

What is the datatype used for the MultiImageFieldElement? I have the control showing up in the module's edit page, but I can't find what the data type is supposed to be used in the ViewModel or the FluentMappings; I keep getting various casting errors.

This is what I have so far:

Definition: (Works)
MultiImageFieldElement imageField = new MultiImageFieldElement(mainSection.Fields)

ID = "imageFieldControl",
DataFieldName = "Images",
DisplayMode = displayMode,
Title = "Images",
CssClass = "sfFormSeparator sfImageField",
WrapperTag = HtmlTextWriterTag.Li,

;
mainSection.Fields.Add(imageField);

ViewModel: (I also tried string)
[DataMember]
public ImageViewModel Images get; set;

FluentMapping:
itemMapping.HasProperty(p => p.Images).HasColumnType("varchar(max)");

Hi Patrick Herrington,

If talking about eCommerce,

You can use have the model as below.

[DataMember]

public List<ProductImage> Images

get return images ?? (images = new List<ProductImage>());

set images = value;

And the fluent mappings are done with LibrariesFluentMapping.

But I am not sure if the question is specific to eCommerce.
