See Image on Edit form after upload

[DLJonsson]

The Dadabik photo field type works fine for uploading the photos.
Still in the Edit form we can't see the actual image only the name.

Is there a way to make the image visible in the Edit form after upload and whenever viewing the edit form?

Hello,
no, in the edit form only a link to the picture (with the name) is showed.
You can see the picture in the details page.

Can the image be displayed by way of custom function in the edit form?

 

[eugenio]

No, the custom formatting functions work on the results grid and on the details page.

 

[DLJonsson]

Is there anyway we can write our own Edit screen?

Could we do this based a dadabik template?

 

[eugenio]

No, templates at the moment are available for results grid and PDF.

Without a template,
is it feasible and advisable to for us
to code our own Edit php page?

Issue is our data entry is dependent on enduser visual recognition of images, and data entry persons
need to validate on site images are correct. Checking the Details page is effective but involves having
to move between screens putting a layer of complexity on the workflow that could be avoided if images
appeared on Edit screen at point of upload.

Hello,
I don't think that coding a custom edit page is a trivial task.

In the edit page, you have the link to the image though, so seeing the image requires just a click.

Would it be possible to display images on an Edit page using a custom_footer or custom_header?

Hello,
in layout hooks, you can add any PHP custom code but I don't think this can easily solve your need.

You could write some PHP code that manually retrieves the picture and show it but it's not trivial and you should take care of security as well (which group can see the picture).
