RE: [plum] File uploads

[K & N Parker]

Thanks Adam  - perhaps you can consider putting this on the wish list as from my experience its a reasonably common thing these days as site owners etc publish docs and images and other files to their web sites.     ++++++++++ Kevin Parker Advanced Imaging (Aust) Pty Ltd   e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.advacedimaging.com.au   p: 08 8523 0225 f: 08 8523 0225 m: 0418 815 527 +++++++++     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Churvis Sent: Thursday, 20 April 2006 11:28 PM To: plum@mail.productivityenhancement.com Subject: Re: [plum] File uploads Gotcha.   Plum doesn't have a built-in file upload field custom tag, so you'll need to just use a typical HTML file upload control inside a cf_DisplayExtraFormContent Plum custom tag.  In the action page, just process the database call as you normally would.   Make your download page using a cf_DisplayList Plum custom tag, and for the column containing the download links use a cf_DisplayExpressionInList Plum custom tag and build your _expression_ around the column that contains the URL to the file on disk.   Hope this helps.  Let me know how it turns out for you, or if you need any additional help.

Does PLUM do this out of the box?   Have a look here Adam (I'm trying to get converted from using Code Charge to PLUM - its a much more complete system than Code Charge :-)   http://docs.codecharge.com/studio3/html/UserGuide/Controls/FileUpload/Overview.html     ++++++++++ Kevin and Norma Parker Advanced Imaging (Aust) Pty Ltd   e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.advacedimaging.com.au   p: 08 8523 0225 f: 08 8523 0225 m: 0418 815 527 +++++++++     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Churvis Sent: Thursday, 20 April 2006 3:21 PM To: plum@mail.productivityenhancement.com Subject: Re: [plum] File uploads Kevin,   Can you give me some more details on what you're trying to accomplish?
