Server side file picker

Can anyone suggest how to get a file picker into Chronoforms?

eg to select an image already uploaded and attach it to a record

Hi jbudd,

I'd use the Joomla JFile/JFolder code* to get a list of files in a folder and the use that list to create a drop-down for the user to select from. This would be a text list. I guess you could equally create an image gallery with links that would do the same thing.

* Or you could get the list from a database table if they've been saved there.

Thanks for the suggestion Greyhead

I found a plugin - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/tools/development-tools/9353
which displays the Joomla Media Manager. It seems to be strictly confined to images/stories though and I would have to access different folders.

For the moment I'll stick with a picture upload from the form.

Hi jbudd,

You could almost certainly hack the code to let you access other folders . . .
