Hi
I have a form set using User Reg add-on. This has standard form field for registration plus some post ones. The user can upload a image to use as a featured image. Now what i was wondering is if there was away I could create a image pool and let the user select from there instead of uploading their own?
Thanks
Yes. You would have to display all the images, and allow the visitor to click on one. You can replace radio buttons with images and have them click the image, and then you can use the path to that image in your post, as the featured image. The radio button label supports HTML so you can insert the <img> tag there. You will have to do some work with the layout, maybe in a grid.
I replaced radio buttons with images here:

Or, you could do something similar with conditional logic. Have your drop down of descriptive names for the images, and when they make the drop down selection, you use conditional logic to display the image over to the side.
I use a radio button choice here to trigger conditional logic to display an image. The images in this example are all in individual HTML blocks.

The process would be similar with a drop down.
I just explained something similar here. Maybe this code will help:

My code does everything right apart from attach the image that was selected by the user in the form.....help not sure how i pull the image and display it
Thanks
Can you share a link to the page on your site where we can see this functionality?
I would use the img tag in the radio button label, and then for the value store the attachment ID, since that is what you need for the WordPress function set_post_thumbnail. What does field 14 in your entry hold ($entry['14'])?
