Wagtail Multi Image Edit

Wagtail Multi Image Edit offers a solution to editing and updating data fields for multiple images from one place.

Installation

Wagtail Multi Image Edit has a pypi package and can be installed with:

pip install wagtail-multi-image-edit

After installing, add it to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings file

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'wagtail_multi_image_edit',
]

Add the new url pattern and view import to urls.py:

from wagtail_multi_image_edit.views import multi_image_edit

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/images/multi-edit/', multi_image_edit, name='multi_image_edit'),

Add the needed templates by adding the following to your settings where TEMPLATES is defined:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'DIRS': [
            'wagtail_multi_image_edit/templates'
            ],
        ...

Finally, add which fields you want to be exposed by adding the following to your settings:

MULTI_IMAGE_EDIT_FIELDS = [
    'title',
    'collection',
    'tags',
]

Note

The plugin will override the core wagtail template wagtailimage/images/results so select boxes can be added. You may need to carry out extra template work if you are already customising this core template.
