Just a thought... Have the client upload the zip file to a temp dir.
Then use cfx_zip to unzip the files where you want them. -OR- If you have to rename the images because of name conflicts, loop through the images and do a replace function on the html file for each image. You could get the list of images by using cfdirectory, or maybe the cfx_zip tag returns a list of unzipped files (don't know... never used it). I think you'd have a happy customer if he only had to upload one file. -Brad > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Van Vliet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:43 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Finding Images in HTML and Uploading > > > ActivEdit is too much for this particular client.
