Hello,
I have a problem. I use the record builder to create/manage a record from my table. This record has two upload fields (flv video file and jpg snapshot file). However these two files are moved to another server (streaming server) via a cron job that monitors the upload folder after the file is completely uploaded. The problem I have is that if I want to modify an specific record, I get file not found for these two fields that were already moved to the other server. But if I tray to change anything on the record (any text of value on the other fields) it won't let me do anything to the record because these two files don't exist.
Is there a way around this? A way of ignoring if the file exist on the folder or not?
This is kind of an urgent question, since I'm presenting this project tomorrow and I just came up with this problem.
Thanks!

Well, if you don't care about errors in edit mode... you can try the following:
Click the control. In the On Validate event add custom code. Then add someting like this:
if ($myform->EditMode)
{
$Component->file_control->Errors->Clear();
}
Since On Validate happens after errors are set, this should clear any errors for paths.

I hate typos... I meant:
if ($myform->EditMode)
{
$Component->Errors->Clear();
}

Would that also affect errors like invalid file type or size to be shown? Would that just apply to the specific control (ie: just the two uploads fields) or the complete record builder?
Thanks

It applies to the specific control, so you have to do it for each one. But it should work as long as you don't care about the file names after they are in the DB.

BTW, $myform is the name of your record, replace it with your global variable.

I'm back...
I tried it, added this line to the On Validate event for each of the two components.
if ($wapa_news_content->EditMode)
{
$Component->Errors->Clear();
}
At first I get the error:
Quote :The file clip1.jpg specified in images was not found.
The file clip1.flv specified in FLV_Movie was not found.
But when I clicked the update I get this error:
Quote :The file /var/www/wapa_uploads_tmp/clip1.jpg specified in images was not found.
The file /var/www/flv_files_tmp/clip1.flv specified in FLV_Movie was not found.
It tries to look for the files in the temp folder and stills gives errors.
Any idea?

Can you create an edit page without the upload controls? Granted, it's two pages to edit on changes, but it may be your best bet.

There's no other option? I need the upload fields in case they need to re-upload these files.

I'm guessing because you use a chron job that there is no way to map the files to a local folder. You may need to go hardcore and use a 3rd party upload component rather than the stock one. I use upload a lot, but they are always local folders so I'm out of ideas.
Sorry,
Rick

Could be a way that the class that verifies if the file exist check an external utl for the file instead of the local file?
For example...
I upload the file using the upload module lo a local path. But in Edit Mode, the class that verifies if the file exists locally, instead of looking for it at path "/var/www/website/uploads/filename.flv" looks for it at "http://videos.domain.com/filename.flv".
That way, in Edit Mode the file would still exist and it wont give the file not found errors.

I think that what would be best to my solution is run the content manager created with CCS to be run in the server that the files will be hosted instead of the main apache server. This way the files will be hosted locally in the same server. The only difference is that the server where the files are being moved runs lighttpd instead of apache, but I guess that wont be a problem with CCS, right?
