File

Some heads up on the new 2.0 multiple file looping that changed from {multi_[fieldname]} to {[fieldname]s}

{images}
{image}

{/images}

Had to dig through the code to find this out Mark. =)

Thanks for the great work in v 2.0 though!

Great additions on the 2.0 release. I’ve got a rather large user updatable photo site running off this extension. Thanks for the hard work.

So is there any way to easily get those nice fancy file type icons to show up in a template with the entry?

Mark,

Quick feature request: I’d really like to turn on “multiple files” across the board, but then have a way (maybe with the change-type-to-dropdown-list hack?) to set an INDIVIDUAL INSTANCE to only allow a single file. It’d really help me out on a couple of projects, if it’s not too hard to implement!

Hello,

I can’t seem to download the zipfile from the head of this thread, using FireFox 2 on OS X. I get to this page:

http://expressionengine.com/?ACT=51&fid=36&aid=2163_4KDmOW3KOTLrLHqN4GfY

…and it’s blank, as if it’s waiting for a redirect. Any one else having this problem?

Thanks

It’s not just you. It’s been reported as a bug.

Mark,

This is a great addition to this extension!

Mark, this is truly a great update to already useful extension. If you worked in Allienne’s suggestion of being able to change the settings per instance like the multi-text extension - at lease the single or multiple setting - it would be absolutely perfect!

Thanks again for all your great work!

FYI the download works for me now.

This extension is great. Just what I have been looking for! I’ve got a question though. How do you dynamically access a thumbnail of an uploaded image? As it is right now it just sticks in a URL to the original image, but I see no way to get it to output the URL to the thumb?

I think this would be great so my authors could attach multiple images to any posting and it would just append a series of thumbnails that can be clicked through to the full sized image. What would be the best way of going about this?

I looked through the whole conversation, but I couldn’t see how folks have integrated this with a stand-alone entry form. Does anyone have some tips or code to share?

supersusie, people are hard coding the upload form into the SAEF. Easiest way to do this is to pull up your publishing page in the CP and view the HTML source. Locate and find the upload form portion and put that HTML in your SAEF. It should work perfectly. Did for me.

I can get the File extension working, as long as I don’t allow people to preview their entry before they submit it.

If I let them do a preview, the file upload field doesn’t get re-filled in correctly, so they lose that image in their submission.

And the image itself can’t be displayed in the preview, though that’s not as critical.

…I should mention I’m using 1.1.0…

Unfortunately the preview error is probably a fault of EE. You may be able to write some fancy PHP to grab the temporary image location on preview and then rewrite that where the field would be, but that’s a very custom solution.

That’s too bad that there’s no hook to be able to handle the file field fully.

(And I just tested the preview function in the control panel – sadly, it doesn’t work with “File” either. But at least it’s consistent!)
