Building a TYPO3 extension in Extbase/Fluid
Add file fields using the FAL (File Abstraction Layer): reference multiple images (yourPictures)
In contrast to adding a single file reference you must set up ObjectStorage instead of FileReference in order to add a variable number of file references.
File paths are relative to the root of your extension /typo3conf/ext/your_extension/
/Classes/Domain/Model/YourModel.php

/**
* yourPictures
*
* @var \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\ObjectStorage<\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference>
* @lazy
*/
protected $yourPictures = NULL;
/**
* Constructor
*
* @return AbstractObject
*/
public function __construct() {
// ObjectStorage is needed to reference multiple files to one field
// see also @var before variable and @return before the respective get() method
$this->yourPictures = new \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\ObjectStorage();
}
/**
* returns yourPictures
*
* @return \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\ObjectStorage

return $this->yourPictures;
