Unable to view images through hyperlinks on table

Hi,

Recently I discovered that uploaded images are not viewed by just clicking hyperlinks on kobotoolbox as previously done instead some icons are displayed, as attached image circled in red.

My project involved many images and participants signatures which I use DOWNTHEMALL tool to download the images directly on the browser kindly assist,

Thank you

Welcome to the community, @Mujahid_Aliyu! What is the error message you see when you try to click the image hyperlink?

Hi Kallam ! No hyperlink is associated with the images and that’s the concern I have,
Example; Previously image name like 1628862288549.jpg are displayed on the table view which are hyperlinked and once you click the image will be displayed. Currently that is not the case.

Thanks

@Mujahid_Aliyu, could you share with me the following through a private message (maybe I could have a closer look at your case):

  • Username
  • Project name
  • Server

Hi, Kallam !
Here are the details:

Username: xxxxxxx
project name: ZAMFARA_SMC_CDDS_E_ATTENDANCE

@Mujahid_Aliyu, I just made a check and I was able to view the image. All you need to do is click to the center of the image seen in the DATA>Table.

FYR:

Many thanks Kallam, I was also able to do the same however my concern is that; I used to download all images on the table using downthemall tool installed on my browser. This time I wasn’t able to download many images because icons are displayed in the table instead of the hyperlinked images as it is previously.

Thanks
