FYI: a module that allows you to set the focus point anywhere

Hi Jono

Thank you for your amazing work!

We love your module - but what we do not love - it solves a LOT of problems.

However, when in a record, you have to change context two times to get to the focus point setter. You are editing a record, you need to view the image (new click, new context), the change to "edit" mode (new click, new context). So, we have developed a small module that allows you to set the focus point right next to the upload field.

It is very early days for this module, but I thought it would be good for you to know: https://github.com/sunnysideup/silverstripe-set-focus-point-from-anywhere/blob/main/docs/en/INDEX.md. If you like it then please recommend it as an addition to your module.

Happy Holidays

Nicolaas

Hi @sunnysideup, this sounds great, the limitation you describe has always been a bit annoying since it was introduced (I think) with the move to SS4.

I'll aim to try this out soon. I know you said it's early days for this module but can I suggest that you update the Readme to explain what you're gaining over the vanilla FocusPoint UX, and perhaps include some screenshots of the updated UX?

I have added a few notes. No time for a screenshot, but may do that in the future.

Hi @sunnysideup , I love the idea! Would it be possible to make your module an extension for UploadField that detects whether the source is an image and applies the frontend changes then? That way all image uploads would get that treatment automatically.
