I’m building an intranet sitye here at work and I’m building a submission page for people to list their “artifacts” or documents.

Other than the title field, there are two custom fields - path_to_artifact and artifact_notes. I’m using an html file upload field for users to be able to insert the path to their artifact with. However, I do NOT want the actual file to upload, I only want it to populate the field.

My entry form is as follows:

{exp:weblog:entry_form weblog=”{my_weblog}” return=“weblog/index” preview=“weblog/entry”}
<p><b>Title</b><br />
<input type=“text” name=“title” id=“title” value=”{title}” size=“71” maxlength=“100” onkeyup=“liveUrlTitle();” /></p>
<p><b>Path to Artifact</b><br />
<b><tt><big><input type=“file” ... value=”{path_to_file}”></big></tt></b>
<p><b>Artifact Notes</b><br />
<div class=“bodytext” ><textarea cols=“50” rows=“6” onclick=“setFieldName(this.name)” value=”{artifact_notes}”></textarea>
</br>
<input type=“submit” name=“submit” value=“Submit” />
<input type=“submit” name=“clear” value=“Clear” />
{/exp:weblog:entry_form)

The only field that populates the database is title. The other two fields do not input any data.

Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong? Thanks,

You need to make sure to properly set the name= attributes on your input fields and textareas.  For custom fields, you’ll probably have to look up the field ID’s and set them like name=“field_id_3” etc.  You could also check out Solspace’s Freeform plugin, but it might be more work to get acclimated to that than to just set it up this way.
