If I'm understanding correctly, you're allowing the user to upload a set of photos and at the same time you're allowing the user to specify which of those photos should be the default. Could you do something like this,
<input type="file" name="product[photos_attributes][0][photo]"><input type="radio" name="product[default_photo]" value="0"> <input type="file" name="product[photos_attributes][1][photo]"><input type="radio" name="product[default_photo]" value="1"> <input type="file" name="product[photos_attributes][2][photo]"><input type="radio" name="product[default_photo]" value="2"> In other words, use the "index" as the value of the selected photo. Another alternative is to use a bit of js along the following lines, <input type="file" name="product[photos_attributes][0][photo]"><input type="radio" name="product[photo_attributes][0][default]" value="1" onclick="uncheck the others"> <input type="file" name="product[photos_attributes][1][photo]"><input type="radio" name="product[photo_attributes][1][default]" value="1" onclick="uncheck the others"> <input type="file" name="product[photos_attributes][2][photo]"><input type="radio" name="product[photo_attributes][2][default]" value="1" onclick="uncheck the others"> On Oct 10, 5:50 am, johnnybutler7 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a product that has many photos, so when creating a new product > the user can upload as many photos as they want.
