How to add custom fields for uploading images/data (5 posts)

    Hi

    I want to Add/List and Edit items on a blog page,
    e.g The data fields would be as follows
    A list of dogs
    DogID: text
    DogName: text
    Image: image file
    Pedigree: a pdf document

    From the administration side
    I want to have a form with these 4 fields that can
    be easily filled out and then clicking a button will add them
    to the database.
    A page that lists the dogs and i can edit or delete them.

    I've searched around and found a few plugins but they don't seem to support image/file upload.
    The only thing i can see that might comes close is flutter but having
    spent a few hours trying to use it i gave up as there's no documentation or examples.

    Does anyone know of anything that could do this ?

    Thanks

    WordPress already has image upload support. You just have to paste the image URL in a custom field and work with that. I have a plugin that makest this easy: Custom Field Images

    Also try Custom Field Template.

    Thanks for you input, this isn't for my use but a customer
    so I need them to be able to click a button and upload an
    image from their hard drive and also a pdf.
    believe me copying and pasting links would be way out of their league.

    Well, my plugin has a little javascript that copy and pastes the text for you. You might want to take a look at it.

    @ Okee9 What did you do in the end? Did you use Custom Field Template or Custom Field Images to get a custom field to upload images? I have been looking around and have not made up my mind yet...
