Uploading Tile Image for some more objects

1 Initial Problem

Set Containers to Deck of Card Listing needs images to be a sensible feature.  Uploading Images for Presenting Objects in Deck of Cards (Tile View) was not implemented for all objects. 

2 Conceptual Summary

• The Settings-tab of objects has a new setting 'Tile Image': Here an Image can be uploaded to be used in the Tile-look. 
• If there is no image uploaded, yet, then the card features an svg.

3 User Interface Modifications

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], 27 MAY 2019 : Please describe exactly which components still need a tile image setting and for which this could be implemented and for which not. Just adding entries for metadata 'Related Component/Module' is not sufficient for deciding upon the feature request. And additionally, the entered metadata is not correct at all! The components 'Blog', 'Booking Pool', 'Glossary', 'Individual Assignment', 'Learning Sequence', 'Media Cast', 'Portfolio Template', 'Question Pool Test', 'Web Link' and 'Wiki' do already support tiles since 5.4.

Zenzen, Enrico [ezenzen], 07. JUN 2019: I'm sorry to hear that. We scheduled the article without updating the metadata. I have updated the metadata to the current state of ILIAS 5.4.

Tödt, Alexandra [atoedt] 2019-06-12: I am the only guilty one. I was not waware of the implementation of some of the objects you mentioned above. But I updated the other article Uploading Images for Presenting Objects in Deck of Cards (Tile View) accordingly. 
I was not able to verfify tile images upload for question pools (no upload option on settings tab, but they present as tiles)  and weblinks (no settings tab, no upload, but they present as tiles) . 

I am not sure which objects will actually be offering tiles, since I do not have funding yet. 
However I updated the article to provide more clarity. 

Amstutz, Timon [amstutz] 2019-07-01:

Sadly the File object cannot be done for 6.0 

Very sad indeed. Why, what is the reason for this issue? Is it the settings screen for the file object, that is already featuring one file upload, and another-one would pose issues? Can we not decide, that we try to solve the issue, however if a technical solution can not be found, we shift the file-tile image to 6.1? It would be a shame, if at the end of the day, this explicit statement here would prevent the feature being implemented.

Note: Could we not implement a setting to use the file preview (e.g. for pdfs) as tile image or if the file is already an image, the  image itself?

Note 2: Just realized that this question is discussed in a seperate PR: Uploading Tile Image for Files, glad to seee that there is hope for the tiles for files after all :-)

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 01 JUL 2019 : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for 6.0
