Populating thumbnail filename to database

Hello,

I saw some threads that are similar to my situation, but still I couldn't figure this out...

I am using DataAssist and DigitalFilePro? UniversalEmail? whatever that has file upload function, to build a database and insert.php so I can just pick an image and an image with two sizes will be populated into database. Eventually I will use this database for a image gallery.

I managed to set up to insert/populate detail (big) image, but I must be doing something wrong with thumbnail images (file name) insert. Also I can not get several other elements posted right, which are (including thumbs);

Hight (of original image)
Width (of original image)
FileType
File size (of original image)
Thumbs (file name; i set it up as all the thumbnail images should have "_thumb" after filename on Insert Record (image) server behavior.
The MySQL database has fields in one table with all these names.


I copied the coding for these parts.


This is a result I get;
FileName:802_image_14.jpg
Height:-1
Width:-1
FileType:
FileSize:-1

Open the bindings panel, and expand the WA UPloaded Files (file Field Name) Binding group.

This binding group contains all the bindings for details about the uploaded image including server file name.

if you look carefully, you will see that the there is an initial group of bindings, then they repeat but preceded with the upload folder. The bindings preceded with "images/detail/" are information unique to the file created in the details folder.

the bindings preceded with "images/thumbs/" are unique to the file created in the thumbs directory.

to store the thumbnail name, use the server file name binding that is preceded with the images/thumbs/ folder name in the insert record behavior.

The image height and other setting should also be using the bindings from the WA UPloaded Files (file Field Name) Binding group

Hi Jason,

Ok so I thought I already did what you suggested, but just in case, I recreated the whole DataAssist sets of pages and added UE's file update function, but still the same result.

My test page is here;
