File Upload and PHP for Store Example

Quote Damian Hupfeld:

wizy,

1. your reasons or not, the date and time will always be appended if you use
the included file upload component. you can always write your own if you
have specific requirements. the posts you refer to as well as the following:

http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.php?post_id=51846[/quote]

What do I change in the "last" suggestion:
$ActualFileName = date("YmdHis") . $index . "." . $FileName;

Quote :

2. did you follow the instructions? I dont "see how" a lot of things in CCS
work but they generally do if set up properly - thats one of the nice things
about a RAD tool - it does the "how" for you.

Yup followed it to the T. the db field is set to 255 characters, so its long enough

Wizy,

I dont know the answer to Q1. If you cant modift CCS inbuilt functions to do
what you want you shoudl write your own.

Quote :

I have never had a file-upload not work and its not something I have noticed
mentioned in this forum.... so its probably something on your end.

Quote :

Possibly
in playing with the Common files or in your efforts to get this to work how
you want it you may have broken something. Try creating a new page with
application builder and add a file-upload component and if that doesnt work
try creating a whole new project because some of your common files could be
damaged.

Get Original Filename
Use this action to get the original filename of the uploaded file (i.e. without the prefix that is added to ensure that the file name is unique). This action can be used to display the original file name to the user.

The action can be used only in the Before Show event of the Label and Link controls.

hint: $ActualFileName = $FileName;

t's your chance to be helpful, figure it out and post the solution for others.

BTW, it looks to me like you're just too lazy, and only demand from others to do the work for you. If you spent a few minutes with this code you might've already gotten it to work.

Quote wkempees:

Also
If you leave the upload as it is (including datestamp+index+actualfilename)
Then in the form or Grid you want to diplay uploaded files you may want to use the ServerSideAction Get Original Filename

If I knew how to code, I wouldn't be asking for a solution.
How can I find a solution/edit code if I dont know what the code does?

Quote wizy:

Seriously, isn't this supposed to be help forums?

Quote peterr:

OK, although I saw that you previously wrote that you modified the old CodeCharge to store templates in a database, therefore I assumed that you do some PHP coding.

Quote :

Actually I also don't do coding, but I am figuring a lot of things out by looking at the code or testing and modifying solutions that I find.

The above coding tip was also found on the forums and finalizing it sould require only a little testing, which is not a responsibility of anyone unless someone wants to spend their time on this for you.

  
        // move uploaded file to temporary folder  
        $file_exists = true;  
        $index = 0;  
//        while($file_exists) {  
//          $ActualFileName = date("YmdHis") . $index . "." . $FileName;  
    $ActualFileName = $FileName;  
//          $file_exists = file_exists($ActualFileName);  
//          $index++;  
//        }  
        if( copy($_FILES[$FileControl]["tmp_name"], $this->TemporaryFolder .   
$ActualFileName) ) {  
          $this->Value = $ActualFileName;  
          $this->Text = $ActualFileName;
