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.

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
