I installed the OTGS installer, but it does not offer Legacy Views, or even the current Views plugin. And in my downloads area LEgacy Views is not there.

Hi there

There is no "Legacy Views" plugin. There is the Toolset Blocks plugin, or the Views plugin, and you can download both from your account downloads page (expand the manual download section and scroll down).

It doesn't really matter which you install, they are functionally the same, and the only real difference between them is the initial value of the settings for which interface you want to work with, and in either case you can change that at any time at Toolset > Settings.

#2639753

If they are functionally the same why do you still have both available?

#2639957

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Both are still offered to give choices to the customers.

New customers prefer the blocks editor, so it is easier for them to just install and start using the Toolset Blocks.

For old customers or customers who prefer the classic editor, they can either:

- Install the Toolset Views plugin, where by default the editing experience in Toolset settings is set to use the classic editor
Or
- If they already have the Toolset Blocks plugin installed, they can just change the editing experience options from the settings.

regards,
Waqar

Thanks. I'm using Beaver Builder page builder so I assume I would not want to use the blocks editor right?

Tim

#2640013

Yes, that's correct.

Our Toolset blocks are designed for WordPress's new Gutenberg editor/environment.

For third-party page builders like Beaver Builder, it is recommended to use the classic editor for Toolset elements like views.

Got it thanks.

Quick add-on question as I'd prefer not to open another ticket because it's just yes/no. Is there no drag and drop upload image field? I thought this had been promised years ago...

You're right and it is in the list of feature requests.

However, since the development of the new features is paused for the Toolset, it won't be possible to share any timeline for this.

Disappointing. That link says that development will continue in about 18 months and it was written June 14, 2022, so we're looking at December for things getting started again?

#2640123

Hang on. I just tested both the File Upload field and Image field and I was able to drag and drop an image on to them and when submitted it worked. Soooo, this functionality has been implemented?

- That 18-month period is shared as an estimate and for any further important changes or timeline updates, we will make an announcement through our blog.

- The drag-and-drop behavior that you noticed is by default offered by the HTML input type field. I was referring to the feature where you can drag and drop multiple files at once in a designed upload area.

Additional note: If you enable the option 'Use the WordPress Media Library manager for image, video, audio, or file fields' in the Toolset form's settings, the logged-in users can use the WordPress Media Library manager upload screen, which does offer this multiple files, drag and drop.

Ok, I only need one image upload so then this will work for me.
