Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a custom post type astrofotos, where members can upload their astro images with different infos. Now I would like to get working the following:
- uploaded post image should be linked to the media file itself in order to get a fancybox working - popup with the big image
- I would like to link to the author archive: see all posts (astrofotos) from this author.
- How can I display the time when a date field is filled out?
- How can I ensure, that the post image (astro foto) is uploaded before the user form is submitted

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

thanks, my questions were a little bit specific:
- how can I add a link within the single post template "astrofotos" to the post image in order to get a lightbox popup? I Would like to use the post image, which is uploaded - there is no gallery block.
- Can I make default fields at the content form required, e.g. the post image?

Regards

I´ve seen your examples. I need to attach the uploaded photo as featured post image.

You can try these:
1) edit the custom post type "astrofotos":
lien caché
in section "Sections to display when editing", enable option: Featured Image

2) Edit the post form for creating new "astrofotos" post:
lien caché
Add the "Featured Image" field

3) So users can submit image in frontend

4) Edit the content template forsingle "astrofotos" post:
lien caché
display a Toolset image block, choose the source from featured image, and in option "Link To" use option: lightbox, see my screenshot lightbox2.jpg
See the result here:
lien caché
And author archive page:
lien caché

5) You can use filter hook "cred_form_validate" to make featured image field of Toolset post forms to be required
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate
click link "Usage examples", the first example codes can validate the feature image field.

Thanks, I could solve the missing image problem at the user frontend form and I could solve the featured image lightbox.

I think, the author archive I can fix also - I need some time.

Another question I came over: can I limit / select, which categories are selectable at the user post form?
