Hook into Image Upload

[Andreas Augustin]

Hello!

is it possible to hook into the image upload and send the uploaded image to a thirdparty asset managment service?

After the image is uploaded on the server, I want to send it via an API to an other serrvice where I receive an URL which I want to save in the db to the image entry.

Any ideas?

Other question.

What would the best way to extend an existing Image Field database table with a new column?

When I Upload the image in the hook to the thirdparty provider, I will get the URL after the upload is finished and want to save this to a column like "cloudinar_url")

I think the simplest way would be to use Beas module ImageExtra , or you look into it and "borough" some code.

As @horst said, ImageExtra is the way for now, but Ryan has stated it's in the plans for the core:

Custom properties for image/file fields. Currently file and image fields just support description and tags options as meta data to accompany a given file or image. We'd like to move towards supporting additional custom inputs for these types.

It's one of the key things I'd like to see implemented ASAP actually.
