How can I use a 'files' field for images? I would like to upload images as a file, and have them rendered as an <img> tag. Is this possible?

Best,

Mike

Hello, this a kind of implemented and being tested


1. image field
(a) be converted to multi-valued
(b) ability to use images from a folder:
e.g. images/stories/fc_item_id_field_id
(done)


2. ability of filemanager to have 2 modes
(a) upload file (images) adding them as DB file records (existing behavior)
(b) (new!!!) browse a specific image folder and upload images (files) to it
e.g. images/stories/fc_item_id_field_id

3. allow while using mode (b) above, to assign these images to a field, (implemented for image field)
(done, being tested)


-- Thus the image field is not an all powerful gallery with legend, description, link to item etc ... and the other parameters that it has


-- I have a couple of questions that i need to answer,

(a) where the thumbnails of these images will be created? maybe inside:
images/stories/fc_item_id_field_id/thumbs ???

(b) also will the filemanager create thumbnails for the image field e.g. by calling a function of the image field,
or the image field will create them the next time it is displayed in edit form or in frontend view ...

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
