or add, _(*9)

"zxbodya/yii2-gallery-manager": "*@dev", _(*10)

to the require section of your composer.json file., _(*11)

Usage

Prepare

Add migration to create table for images:, _(*12)

class m150318_154933_gallery_ext
    extends zxbodya\yii2\galleryManager\migrations\m140930_003227_gallery_manager
{

}

Or better - copy migration to you application(but be sure to remove namespace from it - it should be in global namespace), _(*13)

Add configurations for upload and store images

Add GalleryBehavior to your model, and configure it, create folder for uploaded files., _(*14)

use zxbodya\yii2\galleryManager\GalleryBehavior;

class Product extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord 
{
...
public function behaviors()
{
    return [
         'galleryBehavior' => [
             'class' => GalleryBehavior::className(),
             'type' => 'product',
             'extension' => 'jpg',
             'directory' => Yii::getAlias('@webroot') . '/images/product/gallery',
             'url' => Yii::getAlias('@web') . '/images/product/gallery',
             'versions' => [
                 'small' => function ($img) {
                     /** @var \Imagine\Image\ImageInterface $img */
                     return $img
                         ->copy()
                         ->thumbnail(new \Imagine\Image\Box(200, 200));
                 },
                 'medium' => function ($img) {
                     /** @var \Imagine\Image\ImageInterface $img */
                     $dstSize = $img->getSize();
                     $maxWidth = 800;
                     if ($dstSize->getWidth() > $maxWidth) {
                         $dstSize = $dstSize->widen($maxWidth);
                     }
                     return $img
                         ->copy()
                         ->resize($dstSize);
                 },
             ]
         ]
    ];
}

See also documentations of imagine for image transformations., _(*15)

Add GalleryManagerAction in controller somewhere in your application. Also on this step you can add some security checks for this action., _(*16)

use zxbodya\yii2\galleryManager\GalleryManagerAction;

class ProductController extends Controller
{
...
public function actions()
{
    return [
       'galleryApi' => [
           'class' => GalleryManagerAction::className(),
           // mappings between type names and model classes (should be the same as in behaviour)
           'types' => [
               'product' => Product::className()
           ]
       ],
    ];
}

Add ImageAttachmentWidget somewhere in you application, for example in editing from., _(*17)

use zxbodya\yii2\galleryManager\GalleryManager;

/* @var $this yii\web\View */
/* @var $model Product */
?>
...
isNewRecord) {
    echo 'Can not upload images for new record';
} else {
    echo GalleryManager::widget(
        [
            'model' => $model,
            'behaviorName' => 'galleryBehavior',
            'apiRoute' => 'product/galleryApi'
        ]
    );
}
?>

Done!, _(*18)

Get uploaded images

Now, you can use uploaded images from gallery like following:, _(*19)

foreach($model->getBehavior('galleryBehavior')->getImages() as $image) {
    echo Html::img($image->getUrl('medium'));
}

Options

Using non default table name for gallery images(default is {{%gallery_image}}):

1. Add migration that will create table you need
2. Change tableName property in behavior configuration
