Drag and drop to URL property (UIHint.Image) fails?

Vote:

You can drag and drop an Image to a URL property field - it looks correct in the UI, but when you try to save & publish it - a validation message occurs which says that the field is required (which is correct).

I would expect to be able to drag and drop images to a URL property field which uses the [UIHint(UIHint.Image)] attribute.

Is that a bug and is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

It's a request by a customer, must be a bug?

Hi, Kim,

For me, this works as expected. Both UI looks fine and I don't get any wrong messages.

This is my property definition:

        [Display(
            GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
            Order = 50)]
        [UIHint(UIHint.Image)]
        [DefaultDragAndDropTarget]
        [Required]
        public virtual ContentReference Image { get; set; }

And I have the ImageFile definition as well:

[ContentType(GUID = "xxx")]
    [MediaDescriptor(ExtensionString = "jpg,jpeg,jpe,ico,gif,bmp,png")]
    public class ImageFile : ImageData
    {
        public virtual string Title { get; set; }
        public virtual string AlternativeText { get; set; }

        // ...
    }

Which version of 7.5 are you using? I am on 7.5.1003.0.

Thanks Marija!

Seems like the [DefaultDragAndDropTarget] decoration helped out!
