InputfieldImage as Config Option

[MadHatter]

Can images be used as configuration options in modules? I'm trying to develop a module and I'd like the option to set an image to use, but so far I haven't had any success.

 

Currently the images I upload to test are declared invalid (the debugger doesn't show a width so it throws an exception). SVG files work, but nothing is stored in the data value of the config field (returns an empty array). I've set the upload directory to a new directory inside assets and the images are uploaded, but not unlinked when image fails.

 

Am I trying to do something that's not going to work? I feel like I'm close but can't seem to figure out what's missing.

 

Thanks,

maybe you can find some posts here in the forums already. I remeber very vague that this has been discussed already.

Looks like it can't be done...

the way to do it would be to have the module create template/field/page to hold the image(s), and then in the module, reference that page..

Oh yeah, good point. I'll probably do that then.

cool, yeah i'm trying to sort out using images on the ProcessGeneralSettings module, and will be hopefully working out how to do this soon...
