I have a CPT (“product”) and I need two kinds of multiple images: composed product images and candid product-in-use images. I’ve read your post about “Multiple Featured Images” and see “field-featured-image.php” on GitHub so I assume I can use this approach for the composed product images.
But what about the candid product-in-use images? Was thinking they could simply be attachments. I could use the built-in attachment support, or get some additional control by using using the “Attachments” plugin. But is there something I can do with Piklist to make managing attachments easier? It would be awesome, for example, if I could SEE the attached images on the CPT screen. As you know, attaching images via editor is invisible. And being able to delete an attached image on the CPT screen would be even awesome-r!
Thoughts & advice most welcome!

You can definitely do this. Check out the built in demos. You’ll find an example there.

In the upload demo, I see this… “Validation rule set: Upload no more than two files.”
Specifically, I need to upload multiple — more than 2 — “Featured Images” as in…

Looks like there was some issues. Are they resolved?

So I hope you’re saying I can use the same ‘upload field’ code for both
image attachments, as well as multiple featured images.Citing code on:
https://piklist.com/2013/08/01/v0-8-0-beta-2-and-file-upload-field-with-a-surprise-inside/Attaching images…
piklist(‘field’, array(
‘type’ => ‘file’
,’field’ => ‘upload_media’
,’scope’ => ‘post_meta’
,’label’ => ‘Add File(s)’
,’options’ => array(
‘title’ => ‘Add File(s)’
,’button’ => ‘Add’
)
));Multiple Featured Images
piklist(‘field’, array(
‘type’ => ‘file’
,’field’ => ‘_thumbnail_id’ // changed for thumb
,’scope’ => ‘post_meta’
,’label’ => ‘Add File(s)’
,’options’ => array(
‘title’ => ‘Add File(s)’
,’button’ => ‘Add’
)
)); -

So far, so good!
I can upload multiple Featured Images and attach images to my CPT.
How can I display the attached images in the admin? I see code for
displaying them in the fronted, but that won’t work in admin, right?In addition to displaying the attached images, any way to delete them
individually like with Featured Images?Featured Images work SO well, attached ones are jealous!

Nice! Glad you love Piklist. If you have a few minutes, a quick 5 Star Review on WordPress.org really helps the project.

Noticing some weird behavior using ‘upload media’ as follows…
piklist('field', array( 'type' => 'file' ,'field' => 'upload_media' ,'scope' => 'post_meta' ,'label' => __('Add \'In The News\' Images','products') ,'options' => array( 'modal_title' => __('Add File(s)','products') ,'button' => __('Add','products') ) ));The images appear and can be managed in the admin, but when I try to display them I can only get five to populate using this code…
<?php if ( $post->post_type == 'products' && $post->post_status == 'publish' ) { $attachments = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'exclude' => get_post_meta($post->ID, '_thumbnail_id', false ) ) ); if ( $attachments ) { foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) { $class = "post-attachment mime-" . sanitize_title( $attachment->post_mime_type ); $thumbimg = wp_get_attachment_link( $attachment->ID, 'thumbnail-size', true ); echo '<li style="display:inline" class="' . $class . ' data-design-thumbnail">' . $thumbimg . '</li>'; } } } ?>Also, it seems that I can’t use the Add button in the upload field to attach existing images from the media library. I have to actually upload them. Is this normal?

@WebGuy– A few things:
1) You really should prefix your field. Using our default “upload_media” may cause conflicts.
Try:'field' => 'webguy_upload_media'2) Once you upload, try this code. It will show which attachment IDs have been saved:
$media = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'upload_media', false ); piklist::pre($media);
Let us know what you find.
