    Hello milladesign,

    I am not sure if I have understood your question correctly.

    Do you want to upload your images so that you can use it in your Payment question with "Product Lightbox" widget?

    Upon checking your form, I found that you have uploaded your images in your dropbox account and used the image URL in your payment question. The URL does not seems to be correct as it does not open any image. Please check one of the link here: https://photos-3.dropbox.com/t/0/AAC_iYuCHxctKtCQcbpTFeqmCPtvwXXeih0E9S5mFC9Xyw/12/14196637/jpeg/2048x1536/3/1399831200/0/2/33-t.jpg/OQGyAIatKfh91G9BLvQO5wgZsz1O2A5NtXrYT5PIEUA

    I am not sure if this is going to work with dropbox. They do not support direct file/image URL to be shared. Example URL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mp1pkkwnkmwt2ba/ssl.png

    Clicking on the URL does display the image but it cannot be used as an image URL. You do not have any FTP / web server where you can upload the files?

    If you do not have the web server / ftp details, I feel you should follow the following steps to grab the image URL:

    1. Create a form with file upload question.

    2. Access the form with its's direct URL/ click on the "Preview" button of the toolbar to open the form in new window.

    3. Select the file you want to upload and then submit the form.

    4. Go to your form's submission page. Following guide should help you:  http://www.jotform.com/help/269-How-to-view-Submissions

    5. Grab the uploaded file URL.

    This file/image URL can be used in your product question to display the images.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you meant to ask something else.

    Thank you!

    I do use a ftp server where I have my files but it will not work when I use: "copy path" from the server and into my form, it still gets the questionmark ...

    Hello milladesign,

    Are you using a FTP client?

    Please be noted that if you copy the URL of the file from the ftp client, most likely you will get the ftp URL. You need to actually find the web URL of the images. 

    I did try to find out your images direct URL based on the FTP URL you have added in your purchase order question. Here are your image URL for every product you have added except one:

    GULL: http://vollywood.no/images/kn201-t.jpg

    SØLV: http://vollywood.no/images/30-t.jpg

    MARMOR: http://vollywood.no/images/kn54643x65.jpg

    LANDLIG BLÅ: 

    Kommode: http://vollywood.no/images/kn546.jpg

    Grå rose: http://vollywood.no/images/kn546.jpg

    I was not able to find the image URL for your one product. Please share the FTP URL of this image and we will surely help you.

    Please check the following cloned form where you will be able to see the product images:  http://form.jotformpro.com/form/41313365363954? Feel free to clone this form for a closer look.

    Thank you!

    Yes! The name change of the URL was the soulution! Thank you, no it works fine.

    The only thing is that the picture gets compressed ina way ... is there a certain size the picture should be?
