Hello everybody,

 

I have a question regarding the upload of pictures through a webform. Right now my code only works with a 'hard-coded-ID'-value (see below).

 

===== code (dtml method "upPicture" - calls itself after submitting file selection form) =====

<dtml-if expr="REQUEST.form.keys()">
   <dtml-if "attached_file.filename"> <!-- check if user entered something in the form -->
      <dtml-call "manage_addImage('HARD_CODED_ID', attached_file.read(), ' ')">
   <dtml-else>
      Please choose a picture!!!.
   </dtml-if>
<dtml-else>
   <h2>Upload Picure:</h2>
   <p><form method="post" action="upPicture" enctype="multipart/form-data">
         <input type="file" name="attached_file">
         <input type=submit name="submit">
      </form>
</dtml-if>

===============================================================

The above code works fine, it creates a new image object out of the selected file.

 

But what I want is to change the HARD_CODED_ID into the current filename, i.e. if the person selects "C:\Temp\pic.jpg" for uploading I want the function manage_addImage to be called with the following arguments:

    'pic.jpg', attached_file.read(), ' '

 

I tried dtml-call "manage_addImage(attached_file, attached_file.read(), ' ')">

or:                    "manage_addImage(attached_file.filename, attached_file.read(), ' ')">

 

I couldn't get it to work.

 

 

Thanks for your help in advance,

Philipp
