Product * Image Caption

[Atul Vani <at...@hotwaxmedia.com>]

Hello All,

When I try to add product content for any image's caption, what I get is 
a file upload form field. Last time I checked, as I recall,  the logic 
was something similar to string comparison on ProductContentTypeId, for 
'_IMAGE'. Apart from reporting a bug in the trunk and the stable 
release, I would like to say that I really don't like the design. The 
quickest solution that I can think of, though it may not be as good (I 
am not sure), is to add a new field in the ProductContentType entity. 
Say 'isFile', this would be similar to the 'hasTable' field, and will 
allow easier extendibility to those who want custom ProductContentType. 
Opinions?

Hi Jacques,

Please follow the following steps to regenerate the issue:
* Go to 
https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org:8443/catalog/control/EditProductContent?productId=GZ-1000
* In "Create New Product Content" form, select "Image Alt Text - Detail" 
for "Product Content Type Id" and hit "Prepare Create"submit button.
* As the user wants to add "alt text" for the "detail image", he would 
expect a text box, but he is presented with a file browse button.

Thanks!

Thanks&  Regards

Hi Atul

You mean there is a bug? Where? Could you explain more? It's not quite clear to me.
