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

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.

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.

Hi

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

**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

this is one of sample implementations, compare your code against it -

<file
   jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
   sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload"
   autoStart="{Boolean}false"
   class="cq-droptarget"
   fieldLabel="Image asset"
   fileNameParameter="./fileName"
   fileReferenceParameter="./fileReference"
   mimeTypes="[image/gif,image/jpeg,image/png,image/webp,image/tiff,image/svg+xml]"
   multiple="{Boolean}false"
   name="./file"
   title="Upload Image Asset"
   uploadUrl="${suffix.path}"
   useHTML5="{Boolean}true"/>

alternatively, you could use granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/fileupload, if applicable
