Hi,
I have a user who upload a image, on the admin site, we just able to see the "link or the name" of the picture.
I would like to see the full picture display instead of just see the "link or name".
May i know any setting i should do for it?

If the field is intended for images you should use the picture field and the base pattern will display the image directly. If you use the file field b/c you allow uploading mix types, there is no built in way to to distinguish images for direct display. You can add javascript to detect uploaded image files and replace the html from link to img. hth

Hi,
Want to know the File field we use, is it the source from moodle itself?
cos i try moodle forum upload file as show below, it able to upload different type file, and able to display whole image. But when i use in dataform, it was not able to do so!
Another issue is, when a student submit a photo report, and there is email notification send to Teacher, and the problem is when teacher click the image link through the email, it show "sorry, the requested file could not be found".

Please try the Dataform Picture field instead of the File field.

The other thread appears to be about a completely different issue. If you want the Dataform to render an uploaded image in an entry, you need to use either the Picture field or the editor field. The File field will display a link.

Access to content files requires login or guest access to the activity. Check if the image appears in the notification when at least one of these conditions is met.

Hi Itamar,
Can give more explaination on
1. Access to content files requires login or guest access to the activity. (How to check the access? Since teacher are using their phone device mail apps to access their email)
2. Check if the image appears in the notification when at least one of these conditions is met. (How to check if image appears in the notification?)
Please explain the details more. Thanks much

If you want to check this rather than ask the instructor, you need to set the activity to send you an email with the image. Take the image url from the email and try to open it directly in a browser. If the course does not allow guest access and you are not logged in, the image won't show in the browser. If the image doesn't show in the browser it won't show in the email. If the email opens in the browser it should open in the email provided the email client doesn't block images. hth

Are you logged in to Moodle when you try to view the image in the email? Have you tried copying the image url from the email and opening it in a browser?

Hi Itamar,
I received the email what i had posted in the moodle forum.
I am able to view the image from moodle forum email sending from my phone device Mail App as shown in the picture below.
So will it be Dataform Notification Module itself bugs?
