Capture

Taking a photo with the camera. The block shows the camera feed and a button; the captured photo is dropped into a file field on the same page. Designed for mobile entry, where the user has the object in front of them.

The settings

Only the settings specific to this block are listed here. The block name, HTML id, anchor, conditional display and repetition are shared by every block and described once, under Shared settings.

select (text)File upload block that will receive the captured photo. Only those blocks are offered: the capture drops the image into their file field.

Traps

HTTPS is required. Browsers only grant camera access over a secure connection. Over plain HTTP the block renders normally and the button does nothing: this is neither a failure nor a denied permission.

The tables on this page are produced automatically from the block's schema. If this page and the panel disagree, the schema is right.
