Antonio,

I was expecting to create a relation such as: using acs_rels to create role and type, as in this sample with videos and thumbs :
select acs_rel_type__create_role(
'video_object', --role
'Video', --pretty_name
'Videos' --pretty_plural
);

select acs_rel_type__create_type(
'video_image_thumbnail_rel', --rel_type
'#acs-subsite.Video_Image_Thumbnail#', --pretty_name
'#acs-subsite.Video_Image_Thumbnails#', --pretty_plural
'relationship', --supertype
'video_image_thumbnail', --table_name
'image_id', --id_column
'video_image_thumbnail_rel', --package_name
'content_item', --object_type_one
'video_object', --role_one
1, --min_n_rels_one
1, --max_n_rels_one
'content_item', --object_type_two
null, --role_two
0, --min_n_rels_two
1 --max_n_rels_two
);

Hi there,

As one of other solutions, I've written the following chunks to acs_rels data model, plus I’ve added a few other glue codes along with item-add.tcl , photos-add and so on. All them within a new and customized page and package.

Is there any documentation/tutorial about how to use cr_items and revisions within custom packages?

I found none at:
1. https://openacs.org/storage/download/OpenACS_Tutorial.htm?file_id=2938446
2. https://openacs.org/doc/acs-package-dev

Example:
From item_id to album_id
set album_id [relation::get_object_two -object_id_one $item_id -rel_type "ee_item_album_rel"]

and vice-versa
set item_id [relation::get_object_one -object_id_two $album_id -rel_type "ee_item_album_rel"]

I guess I got it!
https://openacs.org/doc/acs-content-repository/

I wonder if there's a tutorial as in:
HOW TO USE OBJECTS? :
https://openacs.org/storage/download/OpenACS_Tutorial.htm?file_id=2938446#_Toc229651001

Best wishes,

A suggestion:
we could add this thread as a new topic within the documentation
of https://openacs.org/doc/acs-content-repository/

There's an item already, called as: Relating content to other objects.

This thread could be:
Relating content to other content items
https://openacs.org/doc/acs-content-repository/

Best wishes,
