I am using Umbraco 7.5.3 and I want to add an alt text to media images while uploading or while selecting (On clicking submit) them using media picker. Is this possible?
I have added a property to Image Media Type. This way it is available for all the images I have in the CMS.
But another question I am getting stucked with. Is it good or bad to change inbuilt Umbraco data types?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
For this, I have added an alternative text property to the media Image type. (Settings -> Media Types -> Image).
You can see the below image.
It's not currently possible to add ALT text to images whilst uploading / selecting images using the standard media picker.
To fulfil this functionality you would need to extend the data type.
Extending existing datatypes & creating new data types is encouraged, Umbraco is an open source project so you could even create a pull request on GitHub.
I would be very interested as this is a feature that I also would like to see in core.

As requested in this thread on our.umbraco, i want to create a new property editor, that allows for the content editor to select an image both from their local hard-drive and the media archive, to then be cropped right in the content section. Basically combining two already existing property editors.
This image gives a general idea about what i want to achieve:

Right now it is possible to use the image cropper on the images in the media section, but it would be more user friendly to have this functionality in the content section.
I am quite new to Umbraco and creating custom property editors, but I would like to know if this is possible.
I am a beginner with Umbraco. I am able to upload images to the Media Library and then put them onto the page, but for my sidebars I want the images to be clickable links to other parts of my site and other sites.
At the moment I am using the Rich Text Editor to write an anchor tag etc. but this seems ridiculous and I don't want content authors [attempting to be] writing HTML.
It seems like there should be a built-in data type for this, or a property on the image but I see nothing. Do I need to write my own Razor code as a DataType? This seems like such a common thing that I'm surprised there is not a built-in solution.
I'm using 7.2.8
If you're already using the RTE, you can just select the image and click the Link button, then whatever you have selected (in this case the image) should become a link. No need to make your own HTML :-)
I have a document which consists of multiple contents, let's say a msword file, an jpeg image file and a mp4 video file, and when the user clicks on that document in content navigator, he must be able to see the contents available as we get in Workplace XT.
A separate link for msword,jepg and mp4. Is it possible to configure ICN like this?
ICN does not provide an option to view multiple content elements as separate file - like Workplace / XT. However, using the viewer, you can navigate between multiple content elements. If you have a requirement to provide this option, it is pretty easy. You can create a plugin for displaying multiple content elements and add it to document context menu. You can probably create a custom dialog widget to display these content elements as separate links.
Forms created in adobe livecycle designer are not supported in adobe reader 11.0.02 and 10.1.4
The form has an image field that allows users to upload images and save them in the form. The images are not saving in adobe 11 and adobe 10.
I have tried saving the form in adobe reader 9.5.0 and there is no issues with the images.
I have also tried setting the form to be compatible with versions 10 and above in the form properties in adobe livecycle designer. However, this did not solve the problem.
I would appreciate some assistance with this issue if anyone has experienced the same problem. Thanks.
There doesn't seem to be anything on Adobe's known issues for either reader or Livecycle regarding this but if you can share the file I'd be happy to have a look and see if there's anything I can do.
I have had issues in the past with images not displaying and it's worth checking the binding properties are set to Normal rather than None in the object properties because this was previously an issue I encountered.
I had the same issue. For me I had named all of the field names imagefield1. After changing them to a unique name like imagefield1 and imagefield2 the image would save. I think that this is due to the data being binded to the imagefield name.
Regarding the Image Field in Adobe Live Cycle: The image is linked by default. You need to embed the image if you want it to save with the form. Simply check the box next to Embed Image.
I'm developing a component in Joomla 1.6, is a Document Manager and I have all the funcionality, but now I want to include the Media Manager as File Picker.
In Joomla 1.6 Media Manager is prepared to be use like a Image Picker (as we can see in the Article Manager where you can select a Image for the content), but I want to know if it's possible to reproduce the same action with all filetypes without modifying the Media Component.
I know how to use the media manager as Image Picker in my component. In fact I answered to this question.
use joomla com_media image selection in my custom component
Can someone help me? :)
Byes
Ok, after the study of the component i got the fact that is not an easy question.
How can we use another filetypes?
/administrator/components/com_media/models/list.php
on line 116 exists a switch which works as a filter
If we want to add a new functionality (with a button)...
Where can we add the button?
/administrator/components/com_media/views/images/tmpl/default.php
Where can we add the javascript functionality?
/media/media/js/popup-imagemanager.js
Doing that we have some problems
1) we need to hardcode in every joomla.
2) I'm not sure, but the changes might be delete after a Joomla Updated.
Another chance is make a fork of the media component with theses changes ready to install.
Byes
Thanks to the tumbleweed badget to encourage me to write the response.
