How to insert picture to EditView in modulebuilder.

[bwalecki]

I mean, when i fill form in Editview in my custom module, i want to attach a file - picture.

And the questions :

1. How I can set field type to a file ?
2. How I can change DetailView to show thubnails of attached pictures (jQuery and graybox will be great) ?

thanks in advance for help.

Start by building your module on the "File" template in modulebuilder - then you already have a file field that will upload the image to the cache/upload directory with the record id as filename.

Then the save method of your module will have to generate the thumbnail (using gd functions or convert command from imagemagick) (convert -scale XxY cache/upload/$id cache/upload/$id-thumb)

Then edit the custom/modules/<module>/metadata/detailviedefs.php and add a customCode entry to the document_name field to display the thumbnail - something like customCode='<IMG SRC="cache/upload/{$id}-thumb">';
