Custom fields support for file and image fields: misinformation?

[Mike-it]

I'm going crazy with this.
Looking at the post https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.142/

The picture "says" that options are supported as a field, (see License block)
but it does not work for me in any version i tryed in version: 1.48, 1.65, 1.70

If the field is not supported i would not show an image of that type.
Am i wrong?

From the blog post you've linked:

You may use fields of these types: Text, Textarea (non CKEditor), Integer, Float, Page Reference, Checkbox, Toggle, Datetime, Email, URL. You may also use the multi-language versions of core Fieldtypes. For Page Reference fields, you may also use any of the core input types it supports.

Radio input (like the "License" one shown in the image) looks like is not mentioned there, so yes, to me it looks like a misleading example.
I read somewhere in the forum that ryan has the intention to make some polish on custom image field, but honestly I don't remember where.

Thanks @3fingers
I have read the blog post, but i also thought it was a text omission (the option field),
because of the example image, which i doubt is a photomontage ?

Here is more information on the topic:

As @Robin S noted in the post that @3fingers linked to - that example is a Page reference field. I just recreated that here and it works as expected:

A little OT, but creating Page Reference fields is really quick and easy with: https://processwire.com/modules/process-page-field-select-creator/

Thanks @adrian

i'll give a look, i ended up using this mentioned module https://github.com/Toutouwai/RepeaterImages

Thanks, i successfully recreated your example, using Page Reference and it works perfect in a multilanguage site
(also used the module you mentioned https://processwire.com/modules/process-page-field-select-creator/)

But suppose to have a multiple selection for "License type" so any image should dsplay all available license assigned

This works with a single selection

echo $image->option_type->title;

Don't understand why it doesn't work with a foreach am i missing something?

foreach($images as $image){
	foreach($image->option_type as $opt){
		echo $opt->title;
	}
}

Any help is appreciated ?

Not sure @Mike-it - it's working here like this:

What exactly are you seeing when you say it doesn't work?

I got this notice:

*Notice*: Trying to get property 'title' of non-object...

Sounds like you need to double check the name of the "option_type" field and check that it is set to support multiple values. Debugging this stuff is much easier with the Tracy Console because you can dump at each step of the process to figure out where the problem actually is.

Sorry solved...

I'm little embarrassed, we have set the field option_type as single page ? not as a Multiple Pages PageArray now it works...

[Mike-it]

Tracy Console intalled too ?

@Mike-it could you add an issue to github, if it does not exist yet?
