Uploading multiple images to gallery field in Database Collection

Hello fellow Corviders! I seek your advice and wisdom.

I’m building a control panel for my site so an admin can manage our database collection directly from the website. (giving site permissions to my wix control panel is not an option unfortunately). In our database we have a Gallery Field that we use to showcase our product pictures on the site. The images stored in the gallery field are seen on dynamic product pages and of course the images are unique to each product.

Now, I want our admin to be able to upload, change and delete images in this gallery field, however, it seems like this feature is not available yet (at least so I understood after several hours of searching the forums). Is that truly so?

If yes, is there possibly a way to work around this? Unfortunately I’m no coding experts what so ever (I know the basics), but I’m slowly learning, so I humbly ask for your guidance and advice. If possible, code examples would be greatly appreciated!

Many many thanks in advance and looking forward to your replies!

I am afraid that currently, there is no built-in functionality to do this.

As a workaround, visitors can upload files to your Dropbox account using Get Files to Dropbox app. We also have a few third-party apps, available in the Wix App Market , which have a file uploading feature. Check out the 123 Form Builder app, or search for other apps using the search term “file”.

You could also try to implement using code , below you can find forum posts that might help you start:
