Registration Form Application – Image upload

    Good afternoon,
    I’m getting started with WP Data Access. I think it can do everything I’m trying to do.
    I created a database, table and app. The App shows me the form that is successfully populating the table.
    Now, I was able to adjust one of the columns type to include the image setting which shows as the image upload in the form, however, I don’t want to show the website’s media library.
    So my question is: Is there a way to do an image upload to the database and site where the media library is not showing to the user, only the image upload tab ?

    Thank you for such a great tool.

    Hi @argonaut,

    Thanks for the question!

    Currently, the image media type column integrates directly with WordPress’ media library, so there’s no way to allow uploads without restricting the media library.

    However, this has been requested before and is currently on Peter’s Feature Request list, so I’ll send a follow-up to ask for the status. 😊

    Let us know if you have other questions.

    Hi @argonaut

    Thank you for reaching out.

    There are two alternatives to using files in your apps:
    1) Use the WordPress media library (requires a login)
    2) Use a public URL (See https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-explorer-settings/column-settings/ > Hyperlink)

    For security reasons, we don’t support uploading files into your database or file system. It has too many risks.

    Sorry! Hope you understand our decision.
