Default in description field when adding images

Post by bibbp »

When I use the image upload function in the list of images (Category view) I have two issues:
1) Is it possible to put the following in the description field as a default to ease the capture of additional information relating to the image:

Artist:
Title:
Medium:
Size (in cm):
Price:

2) The second issue is that the image does not appear once it has been uploaded (unless the Display Num is altered), how do I make the image show immediately?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

2) can you paste a screenshot of what do you exactly mean with "display num is altered)?

1) there is no such option, so the only one way for this is customizing it in the code directly :idea:

Hi Jan, thank you for coming back on this.
I have fixed the description field problem.
I do not seem to be able to post an image on imgur, either I get 'you cannot use this phone number' or 'you are registering too quickly'.
So please enable image so I can show you the screenprint.

The problem is that the user gets no confirmation that the image has been successfully loaded. So I have turned on the parameters as follows:

Category View Settings
Image Ordering: ascending
Display New Icon 0
Display Hot Icon 0
Display Name Display
Display Detail Icon Display
Display Download Icon Hide
Number Of Characters In Name 25
Image Box Space 0
Display Categories in Category View Yes
Display Subcategories On Each Page FirstPage
Display Image Instead Of Folder Icon Yes
Category Image Ordering Random
Display Back Button Yes
Display Categories Views Back Button Yes
Pagination Default Value (Category View) 100
Pagination (Category View) 5,10,15,20,50
Display Image Description In Box Yes
Different Thubmnail Height No
Masonry Effect - Centering No

Upload Settings
Enable User Upload Image Authorization No
Maximum Upload Description Characters 1000
Maximal Upload Size (in bytes - front, admin upload) 124000000
Maximal Resolution - Width 800
Maximal Resolution - Height 800
Maximal Size of all User's Images 1240000000
Enable Multiple Upload Enable
Multiple Upload Method Flash Uploader
Chunk Uploaded File enable Chuck File
Multiple Resize Width -1
Multiple Resize Height -1
Enable Java Upload disable
Java Box Width 480
Java Box Height 480
Enable YouTube Upload No
Default Access Public
Default Access Rights
Type or select some options


...and a Display Num select box appears which can be updated thereby showing the latest upload. This does not seem right.

Hi,

btw, your setting: Multiple Upload Method Flash Uploader. Use this here:

Thank you Christine for the HTML5 uploader idea but my screen still does not refresh to show that the images have loaded, and I now cannot add a different description for each image.
Thank you for trying!
Peter
