I have created a content type VIP PAGE, and another content VIP IMAGE. Now I want to allow the user to upload 5 VIP IMAGES at the same time as creating the VIP PAGE content.

So what I did was to add 5 Image fields to the VIP PAGE content type, then I created 5 Rules, which trigger when content type of VIP PAGE is created and it takes those 5 images and creates 5 VIP IMAGES content and uses Entity Reference field to connect the IMAGES to the PAGE.

Now this all works fine, until a user decides to Edit one of their images. I want to still use a single page (VIP PAGE Edit Form) to handle images being edited. Can anyone recommend a good way to achieve this?

I can't figure out how to tell Rules which of the images it is that was edited.

  • hey man. well i couldn't find a good solution so i used a method thats really really unstable and crappy. it does the job though. I created Image fields on Content X and also on Content Y. I then created a Rule, which takes the images from content X when a new node is made and creates a new node of Y and uses those image fields. For editing the images on the same page, i used a View to display the images with an edit link that opens them up in a new window. not what i want but works for now till i figure something out. seems impossible

Entity reference and Inline entity form could help you.

  • Entity Reference:

    Provides a field type that can reference arbitrary entities:

    • A generic entity reference field

    • Four widgets:

      • Two implemented on top of the Options module (Select and Radios/Checkboxes)
      • Two autocomplete widgets (one with one text field per entry, one tag-style with comma-separated entries in the same text field)
    • Two formatters:
      • A "Label" formatter, with optional link that displays the label of the referenced entity (the node title, the user name, etc.)
      • A "Rendered entity" formatter, that renders the references entity using a configurable view mode.
    • Integration with Views (for both forward and backward references).
    • Integration with Entity Metadata (and as a consequence with Search API and the like).
    • Integration with Devel generate.
    • Integration with Feeds and Migrate (>= 2.3) for painless data import.

  • Inline Entity Form:

    Provides a widget for inline management (creation, modification, removal) of referenced entities. The primary use case is the parent -> children one (product display -> products, order -> line items, etc.), where the child entities are never managed outside the parent form. Existing entities can also be referenced. Supports commerce_product_reference, commerce_line_item_reference and entity reference fields. Read the documentation here.

    Can you explain a bit broader how you suggest the linked modules will help here?

    You create entity reference field, called images. Widget - "inline entity form - multiple". Limit - 5. Checking all checkboxes you need - just read and try it's pretty clean to understand. Next, try to create vip page and find images field on creation page. Look how it works.
