Simple image upload/select field.

Basic Configuration:¶

        cover:
            type: image

Example usage in templates:¶

{{ record.cover|showimage() }}

or

{{ record.cover|thumbnail() }}

or

{{ record.cover|popup() }}

See Bolt Template tags for more info.

Options:¶

The field has a few options to change the appearance and functionality of the field.

• extensions Allows you to restrict users to only be able to upload files with certain file extensions.
• attrib Can be set to a custom attribute, such as alt-texts, titles, captions or data-attributes. For example:
  • alt Show a text field for the alt parameter
  • title Show a text field for the title parameter
  • caption Show a custom field for a caption that image will use in your template
  • [alt, title, caption] Add more than one attribute
• upload Allows you to upload files for this field into a specified directory so they remain grouped. This directory will be created in {%web%}/files/

        cover:
            type: image
            attrib: [alt, title, caption]
            extensions: [ gif, jpg, png ]
            upload: portfolio

You can call these in your templates by using {{ record.values.image.alt }} or {{ record.values.image.caption }} and they will also be automatically used by bolt's image functions.
