Question - upload Images in Policies using api

Forum - Software
1

Hi,
currently uploading all policies with the API (thx for the nice feature). How can I also upload images like the frontend does and let them part of the policy? Can’t find any documented endpoint within the API. If I upload images with the editor, the images won’t be shown in the comment and attachment section. Is there another hidden section?

Kind Regards

Mathias

Hello Mathias,

Unfortunately, this has not been handled, so it is not possible.

Is there a way around? … uploading it as attachment and then referencing the image url within the policy html content?

not that i can think of

are you going to open a bug or feature request? The api for policy uploading is missing an essential feature.

I found a workaround.

You can upload an attachment via API or UI and then reference the picture within the HTML code of the Policy:

Example:

View: {{baseUrl}}/api/security-policies/:id/attachments

{
    "success": true,
    "data": [
        {
            "id": 4,
            "model": "SecurityPolicies",
            "foreign_key": 35,
            "name": "1Gesamtskript.pdf",
            "filename": "58ca6bee-5bd1-4a4b-b373-f2a213f14742.pdf",
            "extension": "pdf",
            "mime_type": "application/pdf",
            "file_size": 634303,
            "user_id": 2,
            "created": "2025-02-04T17:06:36+01:00"
        },
        {
            "id": 6,
            "model": "SecurityPolicies",
            "foreign_key": 35,
            "name": "A_6010509.jpg",
            "filename": "6a8aa4f4-4552-4a16-9e08-d0c1716e743c.jpg",
            "extension": "jpg",
            "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
            "file_size": 3805080,
            "user_id": 2,
            "created": "2025-02-06T16:19:45+01:00"
        }
    ],
    "pagination": {
        "page_count": 1,
        "current_page": 1,
        "has_next_page": false,
        "has_prev_page": false,
        "count": 2,
        "total_count": 2,
        "per_page": 10
    }
}

if you want to show the Attachment named A_6010509.jpg you only have to add the following code to the policy:

<img src="/attachments/attachments/download/6" style="width:790.390625px;">

where the number 6 comes from the json “id” field.
