I have ? on uploading pix I have tried both hand coding following the tutorial on macromedia and using Massimo's extension. And I have looked at sever tutorials but they only explain the upload part, what about the insert the file path into the db? I know it sounds silly but its just not working. I ca either do 1 or the other and it works fine, example: I can use the file field and insert behavior (standard dwmx) and it writes to the db. But if I then add Massimo's extension, it will upload the pic just fine but leave the db blank? And if I hand code it the same thing? Am I missing something? Or just not had enough sleep lately to think straight! BTW, Massimo, the help button on the upload extension that directs to patties page, leads to a dead link thanks

Any good tutorials or scripts that explain how to display page elements depending on the person either being logged in or by their password level? In asp it would be like this <% MM_authorizedUsers="3" MM_grantAccess=false If Session("MM_Username") <> "" Then If (false Or CStr(Session("MM_UserAuthorization"))="") Or _ (InStr(1,MM_authorizedUsers,Session("MM_UserAuthorization"))>=1) Then MM_grantAccess = true End If End If If MM_grantAccess Then ' *** Show If User Logged In %> <tr> <td><div align="center"><img src="images/admin123.gif" width="45" height="39"></div></td> <td bgcolor="#CCCCCC" class="formbold"><div align="center" class="formbold"><font color="#FFFFFF"><a href="admin/main.asp?clientID=<%=(rsUser.Fields.Item("clientID").Value)% >">Administration</a></font></div></td> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="formbold"> </td> </tr> <% End If ' *** Show If User Logged In %> Dave -----Original Message----- From: paul smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2002 7:28 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: For the gurus: Question about state management with CLIENT sc ope Sorry, Dave. I guess I wasn't clear enuf. The original had "...it's intended..." referring to client scope. My comment about "practicality" referred to client scope not to session scope. I was simply pointing out that it can be practical to use client scope. I did not mean to imply session variables were not practical. I was reacting to the suggestion that client scope was "intended more for long-term user data storage" I'm not exactly sure what the writer meant by this, but I didn't want the suggestion that client scope should not be used to maintain state to just lie there. As always, conclusions are application-dependent. In the application I spend most of my time on, every page has database queries, and the ms spent on pulling client variables out of a database is not where the time is being spent. In addition, I don't use the default client variable database storage method that requires parsing a #-delimited list to get each client variable. My client variable database has a specific column for each client variable. best, paul At 05:13 PM 12/14/02 -0500, you wrote: > > > The Client scope isn't really intended to behave the > > > same way as the Session scope - it's intended more > > > for long-term user data storage, rather than storing > > > data during an individual visit. > > > > It's intent is one thing.
