I've run into some problems regarding styling the fields. If you have in your template a multiple field let's say "first-field" it gets the id = dl_first-field0_0 the next instance of that field gets id = dl_first-field0_1 wich is good, but the bad thing is that the "second-field" gets the id = dl_second-field2_0 wich makes it impossible to target and style because if the user picks 3 files the number of the "second-field" will change and it should not be happening. I think the second-field should get the id = dl_second-field1_0.
[first-field]
label = First
type = file
multiple = true
multipleButton = true
relation = true
[second-field]
label = Second
type = file

Hi,
There are alternatives to the CFT for prettier looking forms. There is no way ( save using javascript ) to add the extra classes to the elements in order to style them.
Using fieldsets could be a way around it as you can put a class on the field set and then using a descendant/child css selector to style the field how you want.
Will be extra work for you though. Hope this helps.

My point is that in the admin area the fields are named badly. The idea behind it is good but the execution is wrong. I know I'm right. Look at the id of the dl elements in the admin. They are named as follows:
dl_first0_0
dl_first0_1
dl_first0_2
dl_second3_0
dl_second3_1
and it should be:
dl_first0_0
dl_first0_1
dl_first0_2
dl_second1_0
dl_second1_1
Unfortunately that is what you are kinda stuck with.
The plugin has been around for at least 2 - 3 years and I think the chances of the developer refactoring the id names for styling purposes are next to nil.
What you really want are classes.
I have used javascript to 'look up' the dom ( because you can apply classes to elements ) to find the parent div and apply a class to that.
It's a little bit work but definitely doable. Wether it's worth it though, maybe not.
i see... :( One more question if I may. Have You experienced problems with media picker? It just doesn't work for me. look here
