Hi, Dave -

That sounds perfect.

I'm not exactly sure about which fields yet - as I'm just trying to find out if my suggestion is feasable - but I would be using the Membership plugin.

Hi, Dave -

This is brilliant. Just what I was hoping for. There are just two questions:

1) How do we add an "Upload" button?

2) Would it be possible to add the code of the addForm page to the bottom of an exisiting List page? In effect, could the user add a record to the page they are looking at?

(NB: I am trying to create a demo for a group of seniors and would like them to be able to see how easy it is to update their own pages. Ficking back and forth between pages will seem too complex for them. This has to be real Janet & John stuff!)

Hi Perch,

Adding uploads through a form outside of CMSB gets a little more tricky, but in it's most simple implementation the attached should work.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking for in point 2 but it sounds like you want to be able to add the 'editor' to the bottom of the page being edited OR you want to add another post the a page, a la a blog. In either case it can be done but it's a bit beyond the scope of the forum and would really require consulting time.

Let me know if this helps,

Tom



Thanks,

Tom

Hi, Tom -

This is an amazing bit of work! Thanks.

Can you help?

Hi Perch,

That error message means that the form wasn't submitted with the correct encoding type (it's an error check to make sure that the uploads won't be encoded and corrupted).

To make sure that the form works properly, check that the following line exists (it was line 79 in my uploadForm script):
<form method="post" name="uploadForm" action="?preSaveTempId=<?php echo $preSaveTempId ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Let me know if this helps,

Tom

Hi All,

Is there a way to include info fields in the upload dialog so that info1-5 can be populated by entries in the upload form?

Thanks,

Hi Jerry,

Do you mean having the info fields be drop downs that are populated by other parts of the database? If so, this is possible, but would require a fair amount of customization. Please email consulting@interactivetools.com if you would like to go over some options.

Thanks,
