I have used the image upload mod and the multiple file upload mod. What I need is to be able to upload 5 images and then direct or call the placement of each image in a different location on the page or another page.

I have looked at JP Deni's pages and I can not get a clear picture of how to accomplish this.

Thanks for your help.

How about in the html.pl file, where you would normally specifiy:

foreach $file (@files) {
next if ($file =~ /^\./); # Skip "." and ".." entries..
next if ($file =~ /^index/); # Skip index.htm type files..
print qq|<img src="$SAVE_DIRECTORY_URL/$rec{$db_key}/$file" border=0></td>|;
}


you change to:
print qq|<img src="$SAVE_DIRECTORY_URL/$rec{$db_key}/file1.jpg" border=0></td>|;

You then just make sure that each record has its files named file1, file2 etc. so you can reference them throughout the results page.

Thank You for the Help!

I'll give it a try.

Is it possible to take the real File Names ?
How could we save the Names ?

This is done with the file upload (add form)

Make sure we are talking about the same thing - I am referring to the multiple file upload mod.

I also use the multiple file upload mod.

But the problem is that i have all 6 images at one block.
I also need different places in the html code for each image.


To change:
print qq|<img src="$SAVE_DIRECTORY_URL/$rec{$db_key}/file1.jpg" border=0></td>|;

is a good idea, but i you have different Editors of the Database, is not possible to teach them to rename the Files before uploading (File1.gif,File2.gif, ...)

Is it possible to save the original Filename in a Record Field at upload an then Include in the html Code:

print qq|<img src="$SAVE_DIRECTORY_URL/$rec{$db_key}/$rec{'image1')" border=0></td>|; and so on ?

I´m not able to implement the code for this in the sub add in db.cgi File.

can you do this ?

Best Regards

Sorry for my bavarian english ;-)

You need to read up on handling arrays in perl.

In html.pl, the file-upload mod opens the upload_dir and reads
the filenames into an array called @files. You can therefore reference each file by $file.
Obviously you need some way of consistently ordering the arrary which is why I suggest
numbering the files. Whatever method you choose, all users will need to use the same
nameing system.

HTH, Brian

I have now realized a little workaround.

I add 6 Fields (Image1- Image6) and add

print qq|
<TR><TD>Bild laden:</TD><TD><INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="Image$u" SIZE="30"></TD>
<TD align="left"><INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="file-to-upload-$u" SIZE="30"></TD></TR>|;
to the Record Layout.

Every Time i upload a Image, i type in the name of the Image into a 2nd Field. ;-)
