Title: Multi upload
Post by: Niels Larsen on May 15, 2012, 12:20:10 AM

Hi
I would like to use the multi upload - very nice feature.
How do I find out which files the user has uploaded? In my upload-var I only get one filename (Chrome). I can look in the "\ Upload" folder, but it will not work if two users upload at the same time.
Is there a way to change the upload folder to runtime?

Regards Niels

Am I really the only one who needs to change the upload directory for each session?
Or being able to read all file names from a multi-upload?

crap - I wrote this long reply, and the forum software threw it away on Posting.

Let me see if I remember it all;

a) you'll need build 6.32 or later

b) multi-file uploads are not supported by IE

c) in the "immediate validation" the list of files will be received as a ;|; separated list.

d) when the user clicks on Save each file will go through the HandleFile method.

e) the first file will be assigned to the fil:fieldname variable. (this is the p_name parameter in handle file.) Subsequent files will have a suffix on the end - eg fil:fieldname_2, fil:fieldname_3 and so on. (there is no fil:fieldname_1).

f) in the form you will need to manually save the additional fields (fil:fieldname_2 etc) in the Validaterecord routine. At this stage there is no automatic support for where these fields go.

Cheers
Bruce

yes, see the renameFile method in the WebHandler procedure, in the FileUploads (26) example.

Hi Bruce
When will 6.32 be available?

Thanks Bruce. I think that'll do the trick.

Hey Bruce,

Just wondering where I can get a hold of the TOTAL files selected (it appears inside the <input> field, to the left of the upload button)?

no,
to figure out how many files there are though just work up through;

>> e) the first file will be assigned to the fil:fieldname variable. (this is the p_name parameter in handle file.) Subsequent files will have a suffix on the end - eg fil:fieldname_2, fil:fieldname_3 and so on. (there is no fil:fieldname_1).

until you get to a blank value.

cheers
Bruce
