Adding pictures for basic directory

[Yelbic]

I have created a very simple database on Caspio to house our homeowner's directory.  Some of the residents have asked if I can add a picture of the resident to the database.  I cannot find a solution.  I can attach a file but have no way to get it do display with the form...

Please assist and I am using the free version.  THanks

Hi @Yelbic,

You need to add field with Data Type file in the table for you to be able to add file or images:

Hi @Yelbic,

Just to add on this, if you want to preview the image in your form before submitting it then you might want to try browsing this post:

You probably want a Details Page, or Gallery Reports DataPage to display images, not a Submission Form. SIngle Record Update would do too, but Details Page is easier to use.

 

Additionally, you can check out this Application Template if this is how you want to be creating https://www.caspio.com/apps/membership-directory/

Hi @Yelbic,

 

To display a image, add a HTML block, Click on the image icon on the right and open the dropdown and choose the file field.  You can specify the width and the height of the image to customize the size of the image.

Hi! Just an update on this, Caspio has a new Tech tip called Zooming in and out of Images in Report DataPages. To know more on how to implement it in the DataPage, you can check it here: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/advanced-customizations/zooming-images-in-report-datapages/
