File name not being stored

File name not being stored

I've applied the "Insert File Manager Field" to a file field in the insert and update records pages. The file uploads, but the file name doesn't get stored. Data from all other fields gets stored.

This must be something really simple that I'm just not seeing. I've attached some files.

Thanks!

Since you are using the file manager, you don't need a file upload server behavior on the page at all. And you can refer to the file upload path from the form element directly.

On the insert page, you can update the Insert server behavior and bind the edfile column directly to the file1 form element.

Then you can delete the file upload server behavior from the page.

Okay, got rid of the file manager. It seems like some years ago I saw a post on binding and inserting a hidden field so that the document name still shows on the update page. Can someone direct me to those instructions. Can't seem to find them.

The file name should still show on the update page. Can I get a link to the page to see what you are looking at? I may need FTP access to fully debug.

You can just drag and drop the value from the bindings panel to display it on the page.

Which value, and where do I drop it (on the file input box)?

The field that it is stored in from your update recordset.

Sigh. I'm too dense for this, I guess. If I insert the filename as value, it still doesn't on the update page.

<div class="lineGroup"> <label for="edfile" class="sublabel" > Document File:</label>
<input name="edfile" type="file" id="edfile" tabindex="4" value="<?php echo($WADAjobs_docs_update->getColumnVal("edfile")); ?>" size="30" title="Please enter a value.">
</div>

Sorry for being such a bother.

You can't put it in the file field... you can just put it on the page. For security reasons you can't re-populate a file field.
