Upload / Attach File in form

[Former Community Member]

I'm new to the LiveCycle Designer, so please bare with me.



I need to design a form that will allow a user to link/attach files. When the user submits the form we would like the form to link to the documents like a hyperlink.



Please help the newbie.

Thanks Paul for the sample!!



I found that the ListBox went blank when the form was re-opened. Why does this happen?



I managed to get the ListBox repopulated with the file names, but when the user selects them and clicks open, it says "No file to open".



Ideally the user should see the files that are attached and select specifically which one they want to open.



Do you think this is possible?



Thanks again,



Niall

Hi Paul,

Wow your script is popular!

The state of the form is not kept when it is saved. You coudl modify the code to read the attachments and repopulate the list when the file is opened.



Brett I just sent you the sample.

Hello Paul,



I use the script and it works fine. I have a question, Is possible don´t show any message when you remove an item of the list?



Thanks.

[Former Community Member]

Sure just remove this line:



app.alert(sFile);



line 6 in the script on the click event of the button. That was in there for debugging purposes.

Here's my problem. I am trying to make a form in Designer 7.0 and I would like to have the user attach images to it. I made an image field and this works great for getting the images in the form, but I am unable to extract the images from the form when it comes back with all it's XML data. I can't seem to find anyone with this problem, so maybe it's just that I'm not familiar enough with Designer, anyway help is appreciated. Thanks

If you are using an image field then the image will be in the data file that is produced. The contents of the field will be a base64 encoded string that represents the image and an attribute that tells you what image type it is.

Paul,



I am having problems with error codes when I use the script in my LiveCycle document. For example I get JavaScript errors like: DataObject=[0], after I add a file. And sFile is:Myfile0. I am still able to attach the document and it works but I was wondering what I may have done wrong to produce those errors?



Thank you for any help you can provide.

[Former Community Member]

Those are not errors but messages that the wscript is putting out to indicate what is goinng on in the script. You can comment out the app.alert commands (where you see the messages coming out) with a // at the beginning of the line.

Paul,



This is what I did:








Is this the correct way to do it? Because I still get the same error.



Thanks so much,
