Hi everybody

First of all : I am using the latest version of XF

I have done image upload fields in all flavors and they all do work fine.

but my latest attempt to build one failed , and i can’t find the fault.

here is the excerpt of my field.ini

————–snip—————————

[img_filename]

widget:label = “Name der Datei”

[img_mimetype]

widget:label = “Dateiattribut”

[img]

Type = container

widget:type = file

allowed_extensions = png,jpg,gif

widget:label = “download image”

widget:description = “bitte im format 108 x 108 pixel, und als .jpg”

————–snap————————–

and here the fields structure:

img_filename varchar(64)

img_mimetype varchar(64)

img varchar(64)

I have created an img folder chmod(777) in the tables/content folder

but when i upload images something like this happens:

the img folder where the image was supposed to be uploaded remains empty…

Any help is welcome (deadline tomorrow)

cheers

Martin

Hello Martin,

I have looked at my fields file and saw that you didn’t say were the file should be uploaded:

Type = container

widget:type = file

allowed_extensions = pdf

savepath = /home/administrator/www/BB/tables/D2D/PDF

url = /BB/tables/D2D/PDF

Maybe it helps.

Hello Martin,

I have looked at:

http://xataface.com/documentation/how-t … le-uploads

And maybe you are upsetting XataFace with the declaration of

img_filename varchar(64)

img_mimetype varchar(64)

Because that is what you need when you are storing the image as a blob.

In the documentation it is method 1

In Method 2: Storing files on the file system

there is no mention of the two. So I would think that XataFace doesn’t need or want them.

That is the only thing I can think of.

Hi PolderBoy..
