Custom image class for gallery

I'm attempting to create a custom image class which will be used just for galleries. We need to add extra information to each image suitable for archiving historical photographs in a public library.

I've set up a Gallery page (top-level, class folder), with "collections" underneath it (class gallery).

I then set up the custom class (Identifier: gallery_image), and have added images to to a "collection" (class gallery).

I believe I have taken care of all the required configuration in terms of custom templates, override.ini, etc, but I cannot get images added to appear in the galleries. Images added to a gallery using the normal image class work fine.

What I can't figure out is why this code from gallery.tpl can locate children that are "images" but not children that are custom "gallery_images":

{def $page_limit=12
             $children=fetch_alias( children, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
                                                   offset, $view_parameters.offset,
                                                   limit, $page_limit,
                                                   sort_by, $node.sort_array ) )
             $children_count=fetch_alias( children_count, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id ) )}

        {if $children|count}
            <div class="attribute-link">
                <p>
                <a href={$children[0].url_alias|ezurl}>{'View as slideshow'|i18n( 'design/ezwebin/full/gallery' )}</a>
                </p>
            </div>

           <div class="content-view-children">
               {def $filters = ezini( 'gallerythumbnail', 'Filters', 'image.ini' )}
  
                {foreach $filters as $filter}
                   {if or($filter|contains( "geometry/scale" ), $filter|contains( "geometry/scaledownonly" ), $filter|contains( "geometry/crop" ) )}
                      {def $image_style = $filter|explode("=").1}
                      {set $image_style = concat("width:", $image_style|explode(";").0, "px ;", "height:", $image_style|explode(";").1, "px")}
                      {break}
                   {/if}
                {/foreach}
  
               {foreach $children as $child}
                   {node_view_gui view=galleryline content_node=$child}
               {/foreach}

           </div>
        {/if}

Is there anything I have missed, or any tips on where to look for problems?

Hi Michael,

just a thaught. How did you configure fetchalias.ini? Maybe you have misconfigured it?

Thanks for that. I didn't even know fetchalias.ini existed, it hasn't been mentioned in anything I've read so far.

It's pretty well documented here: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/template_functions/miscellaneous/fetch_alias
