File Upload naming

File Upload naming

When Creating file uploads I wonder if it is possible to place a prefix such as images/[Filename]
Would seem to keep it very simple to recover the image and exclude the need for views and concatenates.
I am attaching an image which may explain this better than me!
Many thanks

John

sure, it is possible to store the path along with the file name in the database.

in the insert or update record behavior, select the column that stores the uploaded file name, and enter the path in front of the code for the server file name binding:
images/<server file name binding code>

this is not done in the image upload behavior.

it is done in the insert or update record behavior that saves the image name to the database.

I have data being entered on page 1.

After the data is entered a second page is used to upload up to 10 images.
I would prefer to keep 2 pages if possible but the upload page does not use an insert record behaviour.
Is it possible to use the image submitted method?

you would need to update the record that was created by the first page to stpre the images to the table.

Re Above:
"in the insert or update record behavior, select the column that stores the uploaded file name, and enter the path in front of the code for the server file name binding:
images/<server file name binding code."
I cant see where to do this in the wizard.
Please see image

Or perhaps it is carried out here.
// WA_UploadResult1_1 Start
$WA_UploadResult1_Params["WA_UploadResult1_1"] = array(
'UploadFolder' => "BoatImages/",
'FileName' => "[FileName]",
'DefaultFileName' => "",
'ResizeType' => "4",
'ResizeWidth' => "500",
'ResizeHeight' => "500",
'ResizeFillColor' => "#FFFFFF" );
// WA_UploadResult1_1 End

you cannot use the DW Insert record behavior with file upload, you can only use the Data Assist behaviors
