add additional fields to SecurityAssist: Create Pages

Hi all

Is it possible to add additional form fields in SecurityAssist: Create Pages?

If not how do i go about doing this. I want to remove and add more fields to the default fields SecurityAssist already offers.

i suppose i can do it manually, which looks like a lengthy process. Have to add my own validation and and and...

the fields that are used by the wizard are based on the fields available in the table you are select as the users table.

you would need to create the users table with the desired fields in it before running the wizard, and set the wizard to use that table.

no, you will need to add the fields to the database before running the wizard.

Hi Jason

I've added all the fields now.

Just need some advice on file uploads.

before i get into the file uploads i just want to recap on what i have so far.

I have created a users table in my database that will work with my registration.php page. I have also created tables for drop-down menus in the registration.php page.

Then i've cloned the users table and called it users_update table to work with my users_update.php page. I've added extra rows (which is sensitive info) to my users_update table for my client to complete his/her registration.

getting to the file uploads bit:

on the users_update.php page i want my client to be able to upload documents (for example: proof of payment, company registration documents, Id documents)

What i want to know is should i let the client upload the files (sensitive files) into the database (for instance users_update table or into a different table like file_upload ? ) or in a folder on my server?

The files should be uploaded to a folder on the server.

The file names will be stored in the database table.

You can create a column in the users table to store the file name, then when running the security assist wizard, on the manage pages tab, go to the configure field settings section, and set the file name column to display as a hidden element in the forms.

you probably dont want to include that column in the registration page, only include it in the user update page.


after the pages are created, you will need to add a file field, and the File Upload behavior.

place your cursor next to the hidden element in design view, then go to Inssert -> Forms -> File Fiield to add the file browse field

Go to WebAssist -> File Manipulation -> Upload file.

In the upload settings, select the File Field from the list, on the second step, click the lightning bolt next to Default File Name and select the Hidden Element

after the upload behavior is added, edit the update behavior. For the file column, click the lightning bolt and expand the W Uploaded Files (Files Field Name) binding group, and select the Server File Name binding.
