Hi

Just for the record, I tried this on my local setup and went through Lookup Lists>Species Lists>(edit one of them)>Taxa Tab>(edit a taxon)>Images Tab>New Taxon Image

which sounds like the same route you're taking. For what it's worth this worked okay for me (although I now have a picture of a short-eared owl in the Azure Damselfly taxon. Ah well, I'm just learning...

Indicia version is 0.8.1

Not sure if any of that is any help really

Hi Fiona,
Thanks for reporting this - I've now fixed it on the test and live warehouses.
Best wishes

Hi Fiona,

I thought you were going to tell me how to do it because I haven't ever seen this used!

If I wanted the taxon image beside the taxon name in the species grid I would be looking at the following kind of things:
1. modifying the $indicia_templates['taxon_label] as mentioned in the API documentation for the species_checklist function.
2. modifying the data returned by the call to get_population_data in get_species_checklist_taxa_list so that it includes a path to the taxon image. I would probably look at modifying the database view, list_taxa_taxon_lists to do this.

I don't really expect that to mean anything to you but it is just a record of my thoughts having given a brief look to see if I could see a way of doing something.

So what that is saying is that it is certainly possible with a little bit of programming but I am unaware of any existing mechanism for simply turning on this feature.

Hi...  I need to show the image related a taxon in forms but i don't know how to show it. I tried to set these:

Form Category > "MNHNL forms"
Form > "MNHNL Dynamic 1 - dynamically generated data entry form"
Single Species Selection Control Type > "Tree browser"

but i see a box with the taxon names but no images even if i set the image in the warehouse in taxon list... how can i solve? i have warehouse v0.81 but in next days i want to move to 0.90. Thanks

Hi Jim, thanks for the info... i thought it was possible to use the "Tree browser"...

ok thanks, i will try...

Hi Carlo,

I discovered something I didn't know, just by luck.
In the prebuilt form, dynamic_sample_occurrence, which is a parent of MNHNL Dynamic 1, in the function get_control_species_single there is the following code:

    if ($ctrl=='tree_browser') {
      // change the node template to include images
      $indicia_templates['tree_browser_node']='<div>'.
          '<img src="'.data_entry_helper::$base_url.'/upload/thumb-{image_path}" alt="Image of {caption}" width="80" /></div>'.
          '<span>{caption}</span>';
    }

It looks like you were correct and the tree browser already does what you need.
Obviously you need to have saved images for the taxa in your species list first, before anything will appear.

You may need to add an option in the Form Structure when setting up the form in Drupal, under the [species] control, like @list=detail since the tree browser defaults to the list view rather than the detail view. Only the detail view contains the information about the taxon images.

All of the above is for version 0.9.0 which I am using. You would need to check the code and the database views to be sure this applies to version 0.8.0.

Hi Carlo,

I am not aware of any unusual risks with upgrading. Follow the step-by-step instructions.
You may not need to upgrade to use this feature - I don't have a version 0.8.0 installation that I can look at.
I would advise upgrading  to get new features and on-going support.

Hi Carlo

You would put "@list=detail" in the Form Structure when setting up the form in Drupal, under the [species] control.

Since neither the tree browser nor the treeview work without the details view being specified (as it contains the parent term needed to build a tree hierarchy) I have committed a change (r7446) which will cause this view to be used by default in future.
