TickBox Images

[widgit1981]

Hi all

Havn't posted here for a while now. I was wondering if it was possible to add some fields in the image upload section so if a user ticked a box a image would appear on the details page:

Say :

Digital -  Yes/No  
Flash -  Yes/No  
Zoom -  Yes/No  

So if a user ticks flash, an image would appear in the details page corresponding to that selection.

Is it possible? If so how ?

Thanks

It's possible with a lot of javascript.

Hi again

I didn't get the link you posted. What am I supposed to do and how do I implement it into 4images?  Surely Javascript wouldn't come into play, I thought it may be like adding textual fields in the upload form and adding the data in mysql.

Thanks

Actually I just thought about this again.  It's not so hard.

Open includes/db_field_definitions.php and read the comment block.  You'll need to add additional fields to your images table.  So if you add a field called "has_flash", you can then put something like this in your details.html

Code: [Select]

{if has_flash}<img src="{template_url}/images/flash.gif>{endif has_flash}
You also need to add these fields to the member upload form.  Again, read the comments inside includes/db_field_definitions.php

Thank You !

I havn't tried it yet but will have a play later. I may have some questions also.  How do I create the checkboxes in PHPmyadmin what are they classed as ?

If possible could you create a little tutorial for me ? That would be great. Might save is both a little hassle. lol

Just read the instructions inside includes/db_field_definitions.php

Jan did a good job of explaining how to do all this.
