default image in gallery

That would be a useful feature for Cobalt upload fields in general.

Defining a "default" file.

My workaround might be helpful to you in the meantime.

When uploading a file i use the description field of the uploader to store some information there. Example just Type "1" (or whatever you want) into it and save it.

You can then get it in a customized output template and do something with it (change the sort order, display it in a special way (badge, ribbon) or whatever comes to your mind).

example : $this->value[$index]['description']

I used it to mark uploaded files (uploads field) and show them in red ...

As you can see, even if you can mark (default) a picture or uploaded file, it always comes to the output template to process this information and do with it what you want to happen.

Hi,

But how will you get the picture as default in a gallery with the above approach. The problem again is when you show them in the list template on the frontend.

Hi,

I need this functionality. Currently the template does not look good with out a photo on one record versus record with pictures. This functionality should be definitely a must.

it wont take much time for Sergey to implement this, but on the other hands it is a big task for person like me.

I agree, this is a much needed feature.

This is planned for CObalt 9 when we update upload component from mooupload to jQuery upload.
