 * Hi,
 * I’m curious if this plugin is able to attach multiple images to a single record,
   and then later I would be able to retrieve / display those images in a slider
   or carousel type of fashion?
 * I’m quite new to the plugin, but I believe I saw somewhere the plugin references
   images in the media library, so it stands to reason that it would store the image
   paths in the database, and then a function could be created to get the image 
   paths from the specific record and drop them into a bootstrap style carousel,
   yes?
 * Or is that over-simplifying the task?
 * thanks!

 * Hi Nick,
 * You can add multiple images to a table column. You just need to set the column
   data type to something like varchar(200). Documented here: [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-explorer/table-and-view-settings/#column-settings](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-explorer/table-and-view-settings/#column-settings)(
   see: Multiple and single media columns). But I never though about using these
   images in a slider or carousel. Interesting idea! 🙂
 * One the items on my to do list, is to add a column which allows computed values.
   I’ve added your idea to the computed values requirement, but it might take some
   time before I get to that. Please be patient…
 * >>> Or is that over-simplifying the task?
    Simple solutions are usually the best!
   🙂
 * Thank you for your great idea,
    Peter

 * Hi Peter,
 * Thank you for the link, I will study it.
 * I’m glad you like the idea. Ultimately I’m trying to create several pages, a “
   results” page, that shows a single image, then when the user clicks on the record
   link, takes them to a detail page where they can view all the images / info associated
   with that record and display the images in a carousel / lightbox type of fashion.
 * Again appreciate your hard work on this plugin, it looks awesome.
