ShadowUploader - integrating the upload with existing code

(regarding this thread: http://forums.aspfree.com/code-bank...ures-94647.html)

Good Morning (Brazil) Dudes, Shadow ^^...

Your script work so flawless here in my tests... and it will be good to using it as a part of my form... but that is the question... i read others posts related to 'upload file', 'upload image' and about your shadowuploader but could not find any information about that:

I already have a form with and action (it is a asp who process the form data, send to database, send and e-mail, and etc...) so i need to add the upload possibility... but how can i do this if the upload process need this:



cause i already has a form action in my form.

I tried http://www.asp101.com/articles/jacob/scriptupload.asp and I can´t implement this in my application for the same reason...

So there´s a way to manage this situation o put your upload as a piece of puzzle inside my puzzle?

Thanks dude, I think this could help others in a situation similar as mine...

keep the current form action, just add the needed attribute to the form HTML
and have the upload code in the target page.
for example if this is your current form:

it should now look like this:

and in page2.asp you have to make the following changes:

1. add this line:
   
   Code:

   <!-- #include file="ShadowUploader.asp" -->

2. have this code on top of the page:
   
   Code:

   Set objUpload=New ShadowUpload
   For x=0 To objUpload.FileCount-1
   	Response.Write("file name: "&objUpload.File(x).FileName&"<br />")
   	Response.Write("file type: "&objUpload.File(x).ContentType&"<br />")
   	Response.Write("file size: "&objUpload.File(x).Size&"<br />")
   	Call objUpload.File(x).SaveToDisk(Server.MapPath("Uploads"), "")
   	Response.Write("file saved successfully!")
   	Response.Write("<hr />")
   Next

3. replace all Request("something") with objUpload("something")

that's all - the rest of the code should work just fine.

Thanks Shadow... it works so flawless...

I have 2 questions about the image filename inserted in the database (it´s grabbing the full path... and i wanna only the filename) and after change this:



to get the file uploaded...

gonna search around and if i found a way i will post here, for future search for others who might wanna the samething.

Thanks again.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, please post here the code
you're using and I'll try to see..

Hi Shadow : )

About my last post in this thread:

The scripts do the upload and put the path+file+extension in the database (ie: c:\dir1\dir2\file.jpg) it´s normal, 'cause the file browser component put this on the text area and so all the path goes to the database... I would like to put only the file name... so instead of the full path only file.jpg will go to the database. I have the database thing work ok (thanks to you too ).

In another part of the form i send a mail with a file attached, today i send a file with the same name and extension like this:



this work normal...But will be cool if the form grabs the image filename from the database (just uploaded) and attach it to the form, something like that:

varfilename= "GrabTheNameFromTheDatabase"
dir="D:\inetpub\wwwroot\suporte\html\xtras\00fullwindow \"

so the objMail.Attachfile will be

objMail.Attachfile "dir+GrabTheNameFromTheDatabase"

Ok, worse example... but i think this can make things clear...
i was away but will go back to search in foruns about this...

thanks for the help Shadow.

[edit]
Ok, this helps me a lot:

http://forums.aspfree.com/showpost.php?p=365157&postcount=6

So now the image is getting a variable value and keeping the extension in file... so if i upload hahah.jpg and my assing variable has the 0001 value the file will be 0001.jpg. This is great \o\, but the database field still getting the fullpath+originalfilename+extension. Almost there: Find a way to grab the value "0001.jpg" instead of the fullpath+originalfilename+extension and put in the database.
[/edit]

ok, to extract file name only have this:

use the same variable later when sending email.

Hi Shadow, morning: )

I was thinking in a way like that:

I have this piece of code:



it sends '0001' to the database... if I add .jpg to the variable 'chave' and than send it to database, will work... i am trying to do something like that:

file1 = objUpload("chave")+".jpg"

but it doesn´t work... could this be done in this way?

Thanks again dude...

I have no idea what is "chave" - is this the name of the file control?

it´s the input type text name from the form... : )

(i should ask this in a new post..., i think...
it will help-me with shadowuploader but it´s common for others tasks)

So i was thinking in do something like this:

one variable has a value: .jpg
another variable has another value: 0001

how to put the values together, so the result will be: 0001.jpg?

thanks in advance.

you mean the user will choose the name for the file??
if so, this would work fine:

Thanks SW, cool... thanks a lot...
i just got 1 thing to go... gonna search for a solution.

many many thanks

Use Code Tags.

I try, but it error? What is the error?

after you add code tags, also post full error message you're getting.
if it's not related to this thread, start new thread.

can you give me a sample code which form page and script page using the diffrent pages
thx
