Prevent files from being clickable inside a structure field

1

Hi :slight_smile:

Usually I prevent files in the backend from being clicked (an leading the user away to a new page) like this:

type: files
link: false

But as soon as I use a files field inside a structure field, this doesn’t work anymore.

Any ideas how I could fix this? The reason why I want to prevent this is because it is usually a bad user experience for my clients how maintain the sites.

Thanks and best wishes

The easiest way I could think of, is a tiny bit of some custom panel css.

.k-bubbles-field-preview.k-files-field-preview a {
  pointer-events: none;
}

I guess, the other solution would be to write your own field preview.

This will of course target all files preview fields in all structure fields across the site.
You could target that specific structure field by prepending it’s name to the k-files-field-preview selector.

.k-field-name-whatveryoufieldiscalled .k-bubbles-field-preview.k-files-field-preview a {
  pointer-events: none;
}

…or so =)
