Smart renames on images?
Hi folks, I've got a project that requires that all images that are uploaded are named uniquely. This would usually be a simple case of using the MAKEUNIQUE attribute in CFFILE but the client is picky about the names of the incoming files. Therefore, the original name must be preserved. If the desired filename already exists on the server, I need to let the user know, and rename the file accordingly. What's the easiest and most efficent way to handle this? -- Jamie Keane Programmer SolutionMasters, Inc. 9111 Monroe Rd., Suite 100 Charlotte, NC 28270 www.solutionmasters.com 704.563.5559 x 228 Voice 704.849.9291 Fax Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists or send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the body to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Smart renames on images?
I'd say run a check first so if the name is taken have the user rename the file themself, if not you'll have to write sometime where it is the name of the file plus a number or something like that.

If the desired filename already exists on the server, I need to let the user know, and rename the file accordingly. What's the easiest and most efficent way to handle this? Do they have to be names correctly on the server, or just when they are downloaded back to the client again? There are different filename two parameters which would help you do that. File.ServerFile is the unique name on the server, but File.ClientFile is the original name of the file before it was made unique. You can always store BOTH these names in the DB so that you can preserve the filename in listings and such in the application. If a file is downloaded out of the app, you can also apply the original name back again to fake out the users into thinking it was always named that on the server. If they actually need it to be named correctly on the server itself (boy that is picky), then you'll want to read up no the NAMECONFLICT="Error" attribute of the CFFILE tag. You should be able to use this along with CFTRY/CFCASE to handle the error and give the user some options on renaming it. -Cameron Cameron Childress ElliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.7277.232 f.770.460.0963 Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists or send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the body to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Smart renames on images?
What type of error is returned from an unsuccessful upload? I'm not sure. I would suggest you try them all at once and see which one trips. -Cameron Cameron Childress ElliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.7277.232 f.770.460.0963 Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists or send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the body to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
