Image drag and drop in AEM 6.4 multifield component

Hello,

I am having trouble getting Image drag and drop working in a multi-field component in AEM 6.4. I am using sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fileupload".

<bgimg

jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fileupload"

allowUpload="{Boolean}false"

autoStart="{Boolean}false"

class="cq-droptarget"

fieldDescription="Select an image as background for the panel. Image height: 240px (min), 240px (max)."

fieldLabel="Background Image"

fileNameParameter="./hbgfileName"

fileReferenceParameter="./hbgfileReference"

mimeTypes="[image]"

multiple="{Boolean}false"

name="./file"

required="{Boolean}true"

title="Upload Image Asset"

uploadUrl="${suffix.path}"

useHTML5="{Boolean}true"/>

Based on suggestions I tried cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload but neither of them work.

In neither of the cases do I see an image file drag and drop option.

Has anyone go this working successfully? Help will be appreciated,.

Did you include cq:dropTargets node definition where you allow the mimetypes to be dropped?

Follow the dialog definition of /apps/core/wcm/components/image/v2/image and fix your code accordingly -

/apps/core/wcm/components/image/v2/image/cq:editConfig/cq:dropTargets

Try to get this working in a non-multifield and then once it works there - port it to a multifield.

The same config works in non-multifield and fails when ported to multifield.

To answer gauravb10066713, I already has cq:editConfig in place.

Followed your suggestion to no avail.

The dialog just does not close on save.

Do you see any error in console logs? Is it possible for you to share relevant artifacts?

No errors in console.

If I change the granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fileupload to granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathfield,all works fine.

Changing to cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload results in the same behavior, no errors in the logs.

I'm able to reproduce the behavior that you mentioned and I plan to debug it later.

Check if this alternate solution suites your requirement-

Experiencing Adobe Experience Manager - Day CQ: AEM 62 - Touch UI Composite Image Multifield

It uses granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fileupload and works fine on 6.4.3

Is there any specific reason of using sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fileupload"

and not sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/fileupload"?

All other resourcetypes are of coral3 except fileupload.

Hi, I was trying out different options, results seem to be the same with sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/fileupload".

Could you share the screenshot of dialog here? Are you using coral2 or coral3 libraries for the entire page/project?

Are you on latest SP/CFP and core components?

Hi Team,

Please let me also know if anyone found the solution of using image field in multifield on AEM6.4.

I am also not able to find any solution

Thank you

Could you share the error details/screenshot/dialog.xml?

If it shows as disabled in the multifield then the most likely, the issue is with coral2-coral3 conflicts on the page.

No error in the console and dialog doesn't close on click of OK.

Just delete uploadUrl property and test.

uploadUrl="${suffix.path}"

Works fine for me on 6.4.3 and core components 2.2.2 If you require, I can share a video of same.

uploadUrlstringel

The URL to upload the file. This is only required when autoStart is true.

After removing the property ,still no luck.

Now still dialog not closed of click of ok tick mark . No error in the console. I am working on AEM 6.4.0

Please share the vedio .

As mentioned earlier, if the dialog doesn't close then it's most likely a js conflict on the page. Please try the same dialog in a blank project/age and see if it works

If you are have sling:resourceSuperType property configured on the component, then it could be reason of missing inherited properties from parent component.

you may try alternate resourceTypes to find the root cause -

Coral2 - granite/ui/components/foundation/form/fileupload

Coral3 - cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload or granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/fileupload

FileUpload — Granite UI 1.0 documentation

**The image in dialog doesn't render because my HTL script is blank.

Hi,

Please find the image of a dialog after updating the steps given above.

Now upload file appears like a button. Can you please assist me how to handle this.

I have not included any external JS file and working on We.retail page to make this component work.

Thanks for all your help

Hi,

Now I am able to click ok and save the property in jcr:content. But now the issue is when I open the same dailog again on page the image is not appearing in the dailog .

What could be the reason behind this ?

Able to upload the image and property saved in the jcr.

Lost the image in the dailog

Thank you as always

I am also facing the same issue. Is this resolved?

I'm facing this issue as well, but getting a JS error on console. Any clue?
