Question

function is: image_field_widget_process (image.field.inc) I want:

$element['title'] = array('#type' => 'textfield')

to

$element['title'] = array('#type' => 'textarea')

how I get it without hack the drupal core code?

maybe: form_alter + #process #after_build or theme_textfield ??

Answer 1

I found an easy way to get it. This is achieved by overwriting the theme_image_widget function:

function yourtemplatename_image_widget($vars){
    //$vars['element']['title']['#type'] = 'textarea';    // not works
    $vars['element']['title']['#theme'] = 'textarea';    // works !!
    return theme_image_widget($vars);
}

That’s all. But I don’t know how to change the image uploading directory in this case. Can anyone help me ?
