How to make notes on images in web forms designed with Plumsail Forms

Configuration

Please follow the instruction below to put an attached image in the background of an ‘Ink Sketch’ control.

1. Add ‘Attachments’ field and ‘Ink Sketch’ control to the form.

You need to know the internal name of the Ink Sketch control and the Attachments field to use them further in your code. To find the internal name, click on a field or control. In the right pane, you will see the ‘Internal Name’ property.

You can either change the internal name or leave it as it is.

2. Specify the desired height and width of the ‘Ink Sketch’ control.

By default, the ink color is black. In the control settings, you can change the color.

3. To put an attached image to the background of the ‘Ink Sketch’ control, you need to insert the below snippet to the JavaScript editor of the designer.

var attachmentsName = 'Attachments0';
var inkSketchName = 'Signature0';
var canvasSize = '600px 500px';

function updateBackground() {

    var attachmentsField = fd.field(attachmentsName);
    var inkSketchControl = fd.control(inkSketchName);

    if (attachmentsField.value && attachmentsField.value.length > 0) {

        //Getting URL of the attached file
        var imageURL = attachmentsField.value[0].url;

        //Setting the background
        inkSketchControl.$el.style = 'background-image: url("' + imageURL + '"); background-size:' + canvasSize + '; background-repeat: no-repeat;';

    } else {

        //Clearing the background
        inkSketchControl.$el.style = 'background-image: none;';

    }
}

fd.rendered(function(){

    // updating the backgroung on changing the Attachments field
    fd.field(attachmentsName).$on('change', updateBackground);

    // updateing the background on form loading
    updateBackground();
});

To apply it to your form, you need to: - replace ‘Attachments0’ and ‘Signature0’ with the internal names of your ‘Attachment’ field and ‘Ink Sketch’ control; - specify the ‘Ink Sketch’ control canvas size in ‘canvasSize’ variable.
