Re: [WebDNA] Adding Graphics to Directory

texte = In a nutshell, SiteBuilder is a great solution for quick sites, but I want/need to learn how to build my own custom solutions eventually. The directory is 'Good enough' to get us started at this point and then have a more detailed discussion about adding functions later so this will be an ongoing project. The SB sites are pretty complicated for someone who is just learning. They want a business directory. So I added some fields to map the address, etc. After locking myself in a closet at home so no one would bother me, I got the code to add the photos and display them figured out too. The only problem I have now is when I upload an image to add it to the folder of available images ( directoryfiles ) it works and uploads the images, but I get the following error on the resulting page: Error: Unable to access file. Unable to delete '../photofile/ nameoffile .Ignroing [DeleteFile] context Error: Unable to access file. Unable to delete '../photofile/Thumb/ nameoffile .Ignroing [DeleteFile] context Error: Unable to access file. Unable to delete '../photofile/original/ nameoffile .Ignroing [DeleteFile] context As far as I can tell, it is using java script to do the actual upload. Here is the code I am using to do the upload (copied from another page and tweaked): [!]--------------------------------------------------------------------- [/!] [!] Entry added to allow photo uploads from Directory pages [/!] [!]--------------------------------------------------------------------- [/!] [!]=================== Upload Directory Photo ==============================[/!] [Showif [datasource]^directory]

Here is the java code from the page I copied the form from: [Text]GraphicPath=[lookup db=prefs.db&value=PRODUCT_GRAPHIC_PATH&lookInField=PREF&returnField=valu e][/Text] I also had to modify the GraphicPath using DIRECTORY_GRAPHIC_PATH pref I added to the prefs.db. I don't currently have the java code at the top of the edit_database.inc file. Do I need it there and that is what is causing the errors? This is already better than the product we are paying for now. At least we can edit the records in a web browser in WebDNA and it's free. I'm learning slowly, but surely. One day I hope to be able to start from scratch with custom stuff, but that is a long way off right now. Thanks Govinda.
