File to image, uploader, image not displaying

[freehold2018]

Ok, I am trying to build a very basic social component of my application. All posts are public.

User creates a “post” a post has text and maybe pictures. For ease of use, I want my users to use the multi-file uploader. However the data type is a “file” when uploaded, so I create a “post pic” which is a “list of files”. Here is my workflow…don’t leave yet, my issue is below!

create new post–create new post pic—make changes to step 1 post_images add result of step two.

The confusing thing is in the screenshot that shows the app data, everything is working correctly, there is a “list of images” but they are not displaying in my repeating group.

Thanks!!

Just to double check, are no images loading? Or just the first image? It looks like you’ve set the repeating group to horizontal scrolling.

correct, i can see them in app data, but they are not displaying in the repeating group.

You said it was saving a list of files but you want to show a list of images. Is your field for that data type set to “list of images”? That may be part of the issue.

But hopping into your app and seeing the debugger would give a better idea.

@dan1—that was it, in addition to one other mistake I was making, I was “adding to list” versus “set list”.

So…if anyone reads this…

lets say you want to have a list of My Dogs Pictures:

The data type is a list of files (not list of images which is one of the mistakes I was making… IF you want to use the multi-file uploader)

Create “new thing”–my dogs pictures= multi-file value—uploader–set list.

I think haha!

thanks again Dan!
