Still having issues...
Okay, I'm sure this has got to be user error otherwise I'm sure you'd have complaints about this all the time. However after following the instructions at least 10 times starting completely from scratch and even with a plain DB with only 1 field and a insert/update form with only 1 field I still cannot get this to update properly unless I specify a new upload each time. I've gone so far as have people sit with me as I go through the steps and have had 2 others try it for themselves.
And in case I was unclear previously, my issue is when I update a record using the Update page, the file names are removed from the database. The Insert form works perfectly and even creates the thumbnail correctly. The Update form seems to replace the filename in both the image and thumb column with blank info, unless I choose a new image file to replace it. Also the "hidden" field is not working that would display the current filename when you enter the Update page.
Below are my exact steps in bold and the WA tutorial in normal text. I'd like to know exactly where I am going wrong. Otherwise there is an issue with something else in which case I am including my insert and update files and the SQL per usual.
-------------------------------------
Applying Digital File Pro to your Update page
With your Insert page complete, you now need to do the same with the Update page. The process is similar, but requires an additional step.
Creating the file field
Use the following instructions for creating this field for your Insert page.
1. From the Dreamweaver Files panel, open your DataAssist Insert or Update page.
I have figure_lines_Update.php open in CS4
2. Select the field you want to replace with a file upload field.
I was using a binding of the recordset before to make this same thing happen. I since deleted it and created a text field and called it Old_Image. I then selected it
3. On your keyboard, press Ctrl (Cmd) + T. This displays the Quick Tag Editor.
Pressed Ctrl + t and brought up the quick tag editor
4. Change <input type=”text”> to <input type=”hidden”>.
Changed the type from "text" to "hidden"
Note: This is done to allow us to display the value for the form field that is currently entered into the database.
This is one of the items that is not working before or after clicking the Update button. Question: is this necessary for the rest of the update page to work or would I have been fine just displaying this info using the binding as before?
5. Place your cursor beside the hidden form field icon.
Cursor is next to hidden form field icon
6. Choose the File field option from Forms category of the Insert bar.
There is now a File Field next to the hidden form field icon
7. Place your cursor in the ID field and enter an id for this field.
I named the ID of this file field Line_Image. This is the same as the corresponding column name in the database. Is this an issue?
8. Leave the Label field blank.
made no other changes
9. Click OK.
No issues here
Applying Digital File Pro
Next you will want to apply the Digital File Pro Upload behavior to your new file field.
10. In Dreamweaver, open the Insert page.
Still have the figure_lines_Update.php file open from the first 9 steps
11. From the Insert menu, choose WebAssist > Digital File Pro > Upload.
Actually it was Insert > WebAssist > File Manipulation > Upload and I got the Upload Wizard
12. From the File field option, choose the file field you just created.
The field field I created "Line_Image" was already selected and the only option available in the dropdown
13. Click Next.
I've filled out the rest of step 1 and have also just hit next going this this process in case it made a difference taking notice of the note after step 18.
14. On Step 2, specify the Upload directory you wish to store these images.
I selected the same directory as the insert page, ../../images/line_main/
15. Choose the Default file value lightning bolt.
I did this
16. Expand the WADAUpdateForm option.
I did this too
17. Choose the form field you set to hidden earlier.
I chose Old_Image from the WADAUpdateForm. It had the same hidden field icon as the CS4 Forms menu
18. Click OK.
Done. As stated in step 13, I also tried this several different ways taking notice of the note that follows by leaving everything else alone or adding the the additional thumbnail image as I did in the Insert page (which works great by the way)
Note: The remaining settings should be specified as they were with the Insert page.
19. Click Finish to create the file upload behavior.
Clicked Finish and the system created the code
Updating the Update Record server behavior
We now need to update the DataAssist Update record server behavior to accommodate the file field.
20. From the Server Behaviors panel, double-click on the Update Record option.
This brought up the Update Record Wizard
21. Click Next to proceed to step 2.
I left all fields untouched and clicked Next
22. Select the column you applied the file field to.
I clicked Line_Image and the row was highlighted and the Data type showed as Text and the Value was empty
23. Click the value lightning bolt.
I did this
24. Expand the WA Upload File option for your column.
There was an already expanded node Upload Files (Line_Image) that I believe is correct
25. Choose Server File Name.
I did this and this is the value: <?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"]; ?>
I also did this for Line_Thumbnail but chose ../../images/line_main/[FileName] (2): Server File Name from the WA Upload File (Line_Image) as I did for the Insert page. This is the value for it: <?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["WA_UploadResult1_2"]["serverFileName"]; ?>
26. Click OK.
I did this
27. Click Finish.
Did this too
-----------------------------------------
So that's what I've been doing. The steps are not hard and I am pretty sure I am not missing anything during them. I must have something else messed up.
Attached are my insert and update files.
Here is the SQL from both as well in case its needed. Let me know what else I can provide. Thanks in advance.
From the Results page after Insert:
SQL: SELECT Line_Id, Line_Name, Line_Nickname, Start_Decade, End_Decade, Manufacturer, Size, Cat_1, Cat_2, Cat_3, Approved, Locked, Added_By, Line_Text FROM figure_lines ORDER BY Line_Name ASC LIMIT 0, 10
From the Results page after Update
SQL: SELECT Line_Id, Line_Name, Line_Nickname, Start_Decade, End_Decade, Manufacturer, Size, Cat_1, Cat_2, Cat_3, Approved, Locked, Added_By, Line_Text FROM figure_lines ORDER BY Line_Name ASC LIMIT 0, 10
