For the checkbox list, youll probably need to define your own data type in Umbraco using the checkbox list control, then define your prevalues within it.
For the images, you are right with the media picker. The number you are getting is the media items ID which you'll then be able to use it either via the API to pull back a Media entity, or in XSLT using umbraco.library:GetMedia() to pull back an XML respresentation of the Media entity. From these you can pull back the actual media items url from the umbracoFile property.
There are plenty of snippets dotted around the forums, so you shouldn't have any propblems finding out to how to do what you need, but let me know if you do hit any stumbling blocks.
Matt, thanks. I have created a new data type with my own prevalues, my new issue is in the repeatableCustomContent.config it asks for a guid, I don't know how to determine the guid for my new datatype.
Ok, in that case, if you hover over you data type in the datatypes tree, you can find it's node id in the status bar, it should look something like this:
javascript:openDataType(xxx);
Where xxx is you data types id. Now, if you look in your database, and in the cmdDataType table and find the entry who's node id matches your data types id, the guid you need to add to repeatableCustomContent.config is in the controlId column.
first of all create Document type(e.g.. Name:-Album) and also create album master page....
second one create XSLT file and added some code...
and after added macro and import macro in album master page...
and after added some images in media folder.... and after create content... choose the folder...
and now display all images proper...
but i want to not display all images...i want to filterable like a portfolio...
Creating Portfolio Items
I am using Repeatable Custom Content v2 to create a grid of portfolio items.
However I am having trouble creating a few things. In Masoods example he shows a checkbox list, how do you populate that list with options?
Also what is the best method to add images, I am guessing media picker, but that gives a weird numeric value that doesn't help me at all.
Just need a little push in the right direction I suppose.
Thanks

Thanks for your help.
Hey Dan,
What version of Umbraco are you using?
Matt
4.0.4.2 according to the about box

Thanks, will give it a try.
I have a entirely new issue now, I have the image thing worked out for the most part. However, when I add the following code the page only says:

If I hard code the value, it works perfectly.
