Using repeating tables to display file links

I'm not sure if this is possible.
I've been tinkering around and have got very close.

I have a table which holds my file download information, such as file name, size and folder etc.

I've added a repeating table to my php download page and would like to display file download buttons in this table.

The page recordset exists so i'm able to populate the DFP wizard with folder and filename for the server behaviour.

Ok, so when all these are added to my page, i've got a working repeating table, where the file name is showing on the download button.

The recordset looks at a number of variables in the logged in users account. If the validation is good, then the recordset populates the repeating table with the appropriate files.

However, in my example, a user logs in but no matter which button is clicked, only the 1st file in the recordset is downloaded.

I'm not getting a unique file for each button.

Any guidance appreciated.

Paul,

Check out this link: showthread.php?t=4071

That will probably answer what you need.

Thanks for the response.

Interesting.

I guess one could use the record id from the recordest too instead of the creating an incrementing value.

I will try.

Paul,

Yes, that would work well... just as long as it create a unique instance of DFP in the loop.

Adding the unique identifier <?php echo $row_rsFileArchive['id']; ?> throws me a white the page! I guess it does not like the format used below.

<?php
WA_DFP_SetupDownloadStatusStruct("WA_DownloadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["'dlbutton'.<?php echo $row_rsFileArchive['id']; ?>"])){
WA_DFP_DownloadFile("WA_DownloadResult1", "".$row_rsFileArchive['file_folder'] ."", "".$row_rsFileArchive['file_link'] ."", "[FileName]", 1, $database_my_Dbase, $my_Dbase, "my_people", "MyUserID", "".$_SESSION['MyUserID'] ."", "UserDLCount");
}
?>

Any suggestions?

Paul

You have a starting php bracket within php code.

try using:
if(isset($_POST["'dlbutton'.$row_rsFileArchive['id']"])){

Hi - I also need to have downloads in DA results page next to each record. Each record is identified by a unique id.

I've tried in vain to follow the threads with no luck. Please can someone spell it out for me? Feeling pretty stupid but I just can't get this to work. My details are as follows:

Unique identifier = WADAorders.idorder
Download button = download
Field where filename is stored = WADAorders.file_response
Server folder where files actually stored = imageresponse

So what code exactly would I write to solve this and exactly where would I put it?!?! In the actual page, in the in the helper.php page or where? I'm lost.

I'd be incredibly grateful if I could have help to the solution to this. I've been trying for 6 hours so someone please take pity on me....explaining in baby steps....

Thanks in advance, best regards,

Ann

Ann,

I'm getting close to an answer, in so much that i can create and populate a repeating table with buttons and have each named as the file, but struggling over creating the link and download event.

When I have resolved i'll post back here.

Hi Paul - thanks. Here's my latest bash -- I've also posted an example of my code for using the inc method you were referenced by SOJO (which is also not working). I get the pages load fine, but no file is actually downloading!!

Hi Jason, WebAssist - can you please help us out with this one? Thanks very much in advance.

I'll keep on posting updates when I have any too....Ann

<?php
WA_DFP_SetupDownloadStatusStruct("WA_DownloadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["'download'.{$row_WADAorders['idorder']}"])){
WA_DFP_DownloadFile("WA_DownloadResult1", "imageresponse/", "".$row_WADAorders['file_response'] ."", "[FileName]", 1, $database_users, $users, "orders", "idorder", "".$row_WADAorders['idorder'] ."", "download_counter");
}
?>
<input type="submit" name="download<?php echo $row_WADAorders['idorder']; ?>" id="download<?php echo $row_WADAorders['idorder']; ?>"
value="Download" />

Dear WebAssist,

On the thread below, further time indicates that when the DFP WA_DFP_SetupDownloadStatusStruct code is moved from it's initial location to within the repeat area, with no further changes made, the page does not function.

The error message reads " warning cannot modify header information - headers already sent by....(rest of text obscured)...line 688
(with an additional 3 lines citing lines 689-691 then a page of symbols). These lines 688-691 refer to Helper.php headers.

My info/code using a unique recordset id has been posted yesterday and today, below and on the post to SOJO (along with $incnumber example code ) on the same issue (post in the thread below after Paul's initial question). The issue does not appear to be syntax.

So, my question: several people are trying to get DFP downloads on DA Results pages using unique identifiers. Is this actually possible using DA and DFP and if so, what specific changes need to be made to do this? Please tell me asap if I'm simply wasting my time.

This is my second day spent trying to solve this. I'd be most grateful if you could get back to me before the weekend with a solution to this?

Many thanks, hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Ann
