Labels disappearing when using media files

[Stuart_GALVMED]

I have been using ODK via XLSForms for some time but today I have a problem.

I have not tried uploading media files via ODK aggregate before but when I did today, I can get them up using ODK FormUploader, then all the text is deleted.

When I remove the "media::image" column from the XLSForm then it works fine. Also I am able to upload to both Kobotoolbox and through the XLSForm to XML file formatter from ODK but then something goes wround

I don't know how to proceed. Has anyone come across this before?

Many thanks, Stuart

Hi @Stuart_GALVMED

could you attach your form?

[Stuart_GALVMED]

I attach a toy example with obvious false image files.

When I try uploading this with ODK FormUploader then the text just disappears.

Perhaps you can also clarify how the files should be saved in a folder as I feel this is perhaps the issue.

Many thanks,

Stuart

I think you'll need to either
[1] change label::English to just label
or
[2] change media::image to media::image::English

Notice that with your form as is, if you go to the option to change languages that there is both a "default" and "English" option. See the following post for some more details:

Adding small photo with each answer

When testing this I had issues with media displaying correctly when there are language options in the survey if the media column(s) are not also localized. If you remove the ::English you should be fine. Or you can add a media column for each language. See below. This XLSForm documentation says "::[language] is optional" for media::image::language but it seems like that may not be be always the case, depending on other aspects of your form. survey tab +----------------------+-----------+------…

Many thanks for this Dan. Perfect answer. I didn't have the language tab on the media file.

It's always simple when ya know...

Cheers,

Stuart

There is a detailed write up on form language in the docs as well! https://docs.opendatakit.org/form-language/
