Field Input-Type hyperlink-library

Use this field type for complete sets of files (like image galleries), storing Hyperlink. It's an extension of the hyperlink field type.

This shows the configuration dialog:

  • Folder Depth - if sub folders are allowed and how deply they may be nested. Use 0 for no sub folders, 1 for 1 level only, 2 for 2 levels (like /gallery/subgallery) etc. Use a large number like 100 for practically unlimited sub folders, but not recommended for realistic use cases.
  • Allow assets In Root Folder - specifies if files may be placed in the core / root container, or if the user is required to create sub folders. This would be the case if you expect multiple groups of files, but never a top-level list.
  • Metadata Content Types - the content-type (or types) to be used for assets in this library. To use this, first create a content-type (like DownloadMetadata or MugshotMetadata) and type the name of the content type into this field.
