Apply different profiles with different renditions to different images upon upload?

[jackyt53693190]

Hello all. I was needing to know if there was a way I could set up different profiles for the different kinds of images I upload, so that some get certain renditions and some get others? For example, I want to be able to upload a group of images as "type 1" and all these images get the "thumb" and "zoom" and "main" images, and also upload a group of images as "type 2" and have them get just the "main" image preset. Is there a way to do this?

You need to explore looking at using a custom Dam handler and possibly a custom workflow for this use case. A Dam handler is invoked when you upload an asset.

See this article to get you up and running with a Dam handler.

When writing a custom Dam handler, you use this api:

There are a lot of subclasses you can look into using.
