Topic: Location of iForm media folder

Hi,
I just want to check something. I thought that with the last Instant Indicia update (0.8.2) the "media" and "client_helpers" folder moved from "modules/iform" to "libraries/iform".

From what I can see from trying to figure out why some important icons weren't appearing this is certainly not the case for the "media" folder. Having moved the folder back to modules/iform the icons are now appearing (I resorted to a fairly close examination of iRecord to discover this).

I'm now wondering if the client_helpers folder should also be moved back but I have no "error" to solve in order to test this.

Can anyone help me solve this one?

Many thanks,
Fiona

Re: Location of iForm media folder

Hi Fiona
This was certainly coded with the intention that the client_helpers and media folders would sit alongside each other.

Re: Location of iForm media folder

Thanks John, I've moved the client_helpers back to be within the modules/iform folder.

I must admit I'm pretty confused. I have been trawling through the forum and the documentation to try and figure out where the client_helpers and media folders should be.

In the following article (https://indicia-docs.readthedocs.org/en … nt_helpers) there is an implication they can be in either location:

"Now, create a new text file in the Drupal site’s file system, under the following path: sites/all/modules/iform/client_helpers/prebuilt_forms/css. If that path does not exist, then look for sites/all/libraries/iform/client_helpers/prebuilt_forms/css since the module code can also run from within the libraries folder."

What I have found is that the icons used to provide the functionality when "Include option to edit entered taxa:" is ticked in the user interface do not appear on the form if the folders are within the libraries pathway.

Is this a bug in my particular site, a bug in the module or has there been a decision to move all the folders back to the modules/iform folder?

I'm really just seeking clarity as I've spent a fair amount of time trying to figure this out and would like to make sure others don't have to do the same.

Cheers,
Fiona
