Another field type is up and running: introducing Visual List, allowing to maintain a list of images (or any items, in future) in a very simple and visual way. The field allows editors to select any number of images from a specified source, and supports drag-and-drop reordering.
Good usage scenarios for this fields include maintaining a list of banners to rotate on the page, a list of product images, etc. An advantage over using a set of subitems to achieve the same functionality is editor experience: no not having to switch items saves a lot of editing time, and its easy to see all selected items at once.
The Outercore fieldtypes project, which now includes Carousel, Slider and Visuallist fields, has moved to Sitecore shared source repository, so no more download links in the blog.
Use the project trac site to view or update the documentation, download the source, file tickets or watch the updates. I'll continue to post update summaries in the blog.
Bug reports, new field type ideas are welcome.
Contributors are most welcome, of course, mail me to become one.
