Hi,
I'm trying to create a universal upload module....so that you can have as many uploads
on a form as you want and name them whatever you want.....
it all works great, unless the person doesn't upload something then I get the:
Error processing CFFILE
No data was received in the uploaded file '\.' Saving empty (zero-length) files is
prohibitted. Please make sure you specified the correct file.
this is because when it check the loop and tries to upload off the form field...the
field is empty. I cannot seem to check the value of the field in the loop, because at
that point it is still a field name, not a field value. The CFFile converts it into a
value itself....
Help please...
called via
<cfmodule template="Mod_Upload_File.cfm"
UploadFields="ProductionImage,ProductionClip"
Accept="image/jpeg,image/gif,image/pjpeg,image/jpg"
nameconflict="Overwrite"
SavePath="D:\FOUREYES\WEBDEV\foureyesweb.com\bombo\Uploads\Productions\"
dbtype="odbc"
DSN="Bombo"
Table="Productions"
RecordID_Name="ProductionID"
RecordID="43">
The module is as follows: (including fusedoc!)
<!--------------- my fusedoc -----------------
Point:
1) mod_upload_file.cfm will then loop through attributes:uploads and
run a CFFile Uploading to the attribute SavePath
2) It will then run a query on a Database (DSN) and Table (table) on a RecordID and
field Name to
insert/update the file name for this upload
Attributes IN: Type = is this an Insert, Update (Remeber this is Mod_upload not
Mod_delete!!!)
This will determine which queryis being used
UploadFields = Array for all files to be uploaded
This is the form fileds that contain the files
sample Uploads="Image1, Image2, Clip3"
Accept = what type of file are we allowed to accept for this field
sample accept="image/jpeg,image/gif,image/pjpeg,image/jpg"
nameconflict = what to do when there is a name conflict
accepted values = Error , Skip, Overwrite, MakeUnique
SavePath the path for the files to be saved to
sample SavePath="D:\FOUREYES\WEBDEV\foureyesweb.com\bombo\Uploads\Productions\"
DBTYPE = Type of Database (ex.ODBC)
DSN = the DB that the query should use
sample DSN = "Bombo"
Table = the table the query should use
Table="Productions"
RecordID_Name = the field name in the table of the primary key record ID
RecordID = the Primary key number that the query should update
Output: Nothing: this module only writes to a database
---->
<!---- Here we set up the loop to loop through all files that are uploaded ---->
<!--- we have to set a counter so we can track the loop --->
<cfset Counter=1>
<cfloop index="UploadField" list="#Attributes.UploadFields#">
<!--- Let's Upload some files / but we have to make sure that there is a file there
first !
this is where I have my problem....
--->
<cfoutput>
<cffile action="UPLOAD"
filefield="#UploadField#"
destination="#attributes.SavePath#"
nameconflict="#attributes.nameconflict#"
accept="#attributes.Accept#">
<!---- now the query ---->
<cfquery name="#UploadField#" datasource="#attributes.DSN#"
dbtype="#attributes.dbtype#">
UPDATE #attributes.Table#
SET #UploadField# = '#file.serverfile#'
WHERE #attributes.RecordID_Name# = #attributes.RecordID#
</cfquery>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
<!--- The last thing we do is update the counter --->
<cfset Counter=Counter + 1>
</CFLOOP>
