CFFILE

I have a CFFILE question: I have a form which allows a user to upload three different images at the same time I have three different <cffile action="upload".... tags on the processing page. The problem is it only uploads the very first image... Any suggestions?

It will upload one file at a time and not two or three together I have a CFFILE question: I have a form which allows a user to upload three different images at the same time I have three different <cffile action="upload".... tags on the processing page.

Ah sorry, I meant the code for the form page, not the action page. So the page just before this one. George At 10:26 AM 5/26/2004, Monique Boea wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Get rid of the cftry and cfcatch for now so you can see why the cffile operation isn't working. The CF error should tell you what's wrong.

----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- I've run upto 10 on the same page without problems (apart from users clicking Submit more than once :P), so I know the functionality will work > <cffile action="upload" filefield="form.tLogoFilename" Remove the "form." from the filefield, it's not needed or wanted Try this: Name the 3 fields as "FileUpload_1", "FileUpload_2" and "FileUpload_3" Then run your code with a <cfloop around them Also, your JS will only report one error before exiting the template (your <cfexit>) I'd also suggest displaying the message on the page, and then offering a link back - it will give the opportunity to show more than one message at the same time, rather than one popup Not forgetting that your popup doesn't say which image failed HTH

For the filefield attribute, you need the name of the <input type="file">. The destination attribute has to be a directory (not a file!). You can find out the name of the uploaded file with #cffile.serverFile#. <cffile action="upload" filefield="tLogoFilename" destination="#variables.home_dir#media\images\clientlogos\" nameconflict="overwrite"> ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

In my reference (cfmx): "Pathname of directory in which to upload the file. If not an absolute path (starting a with a drive letter and a colon, or a forward or backward slash), it is relative to the ColdFusion temporary directory, which is returned by the GetTempDirectory function." I have never actually tried to specify the filename too. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

My CFFILE issue is resolved. The previous developer defined the file extensions as hidden values and passed them as ""....and it was not recognizing the other two file extensions. So my images were being uploaded without the .gif or .jpg Why he'she wouldn't just upload the file name, I don't know... But I resolved it with the following: <cfset variables.textension = Right(form.tLogoFilename,3)> http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p35.htm#wp35 40091 I am not at all saying you are wrong.

yeah, you might want to to a <cfset variables.textension = listFirst(form.tLogoFilename ,'.')> or some variation of those arguments inside the function.. tw YIKES!! > <cfset variables.textension = Right(form.tLogoFilename,3)> Be careful about this - some people save images as .jpeg   _____

image.name.jpeg .......^ = full stop? maybe?

sure did :) > yeah, you might want to to a > > <cfset variables.textension = listFirst(form.tLogoFilename ,'.')> > > or some variation of those arguments inside the function.. Don't you mean ListLast()? Some lovely people put full-stops in their file names as well

So what's the alternative? > <cfset variables.textension = Right(form.tLogoFilename,3)> Be careful about this - some people save images as .jpeg   _____  

ACtually, there is Javascript on the previous page that forces a three digit file extension. (BOOYAH!!) :) > <cfset variables.textension = Right(form.tLogoFilename,3)> Be careful about this - some people save images as .jpeg   _____  

On the action page make sure you are specifying three different form fields for the upload. Paste your action script and we can help more I have a CFFILE question: I have a form which allows a user to upload three different images at the same time I have three different <cffile action="upload".... tags on the processing page. The problem is it only uploads the very first image... Any suggestions?   _____  

I think full stops are periods. He might just be reminding you that there can be more than one period in the filename. a.1.b.2.c.jpeg Windows treats anything to the right of the final period as the extention. And it may be more than 3 characters long. Jerry Johnson

so, the htought was that listLast() would get the files extension, regardless of the amount of (class can we all say our new word) "full stops", that are present in the filename. :) new word learned. cool! tw I think full stops are periods.

It will, but I've seen code where somebody used ListFirst() on the period, and it fails horribly when people put full stops in the middle of a file name
