How can I use the image upload function in my cred form that is used in Toolset forums? I don't like the image upload functionality that comes standard with Toolset forms.

Main issues:
- If I have many images, they would be stacked vertically
- User has to find the "add new image" button

What other alternatives do I have for making the image upload capability more user friendly for a large set of images?

Are there any jquery image upload plugins or scripts I can install/run that would replace/enhance this user interface?

There are none but what you see in the current Forms when you insert media fields.

What you can do is (limitedly) style that with some CSS and JS, however, you will not achieve the same experience as a WordPress Media Uploader or similar.

But, you like to know that our Lead Developer has started a few days ago with a massive project, to actually implement the native WordPress media upload mechanisms on Forms.

That, will let you do just what you want, and even more.

It's not yet ready but you'll notice in our changelogs or blog posts once it is (future release)

By the way, via CSS, changing the .wpt-repct1.wp-repct1-flex class display to "inline-flex" DOES work BUT then the image sorting (something I must have) will NOT work as expected.

What other workarounds do you suggest?

I would prefer having another sorting and upload system instead.

As outlined, there are none.

We do not suggest any workarounds as simply it would mean to not use the forms (the forms uploads cannot be changed in their workflow right now)

As outlined above there are works ongoing about that, you can stand by until they are released, or if you need an urgent solution, it would require to use another Plugin (of which I am still looking for, as the subject is not covered very well in the WordPress plugins for front end forms)

Is there any update from dev on using the native wp image upload capability as promised in this thread?
