XF 2.0 Image Upload Preview

[mjda]

Is there a simple way to add an upload row in a form and have it show the image preview after uploading before actually submitting the form? I guess I'm looking for something similar to uploading an attachment to a thread but without it being an attachment. I'm going to store the images elsewhere.

I don't think there's anything that will essentially do that for you -- you may need to implement that as an entirely custom system as I'm not sure there's much to piggyback off of.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of. I tried getting something to work for hours yesterday and couldn't come up with anything. Was just hoping for something built in.

There's a particularly good solution in the stackoverflow question thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27002935/1754352

Thanks for the help, both of you. I ended up doing something similar to the way the avatars are done.
