File Upload field wiht Camera option!

Hi, I'm a web developer and I'd like to make my application accessible also from tablet. I tried the website with both default android Browser and Firefox browser; I saw that Firefox it is much more user friendly to touch and fast.
In the website there is a form with a file upload field that is supposed to be used with images; the default android Browser gives the user the possibility to choose the camera, take the picture, and then select it for the upload. I'd like to know if there is the possibility to configure somewhere Firefox to add the Camera option with Astro and OpenOfficeDoc. Do you think is possible?
Or do you know how this could be realized?
Thank you in advance.

Interesting! I think there is a different site to offer feature suggestions for different Mozilla products, but I'm not sure where the Android one is. (I'm assuming that the option isn't available yet...)

How to 'clear' file upload field in forms

In a form I am designing I need a 'clear' or 'reset' button that clears the entire form. This is easy to do, of course, but alas my form has a file upload field, and in Safari I just can't get that field to go back to it's default empty state.
is there a secret way to force file upload fields in safari to reset, or is it just impossible?

I've just done a quick search on bugzilla and came up with this http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8248.

Problem in dynamically generating the file upload field

Hello all
I am using netbeans 5.5 and visualwebpack for my jsf project.
i have a problem in dynamically generating the file upload field and using it.
I have a panel say "panelA" which holds file upload fields.
Depending upon the count value i generate the file upload field using following code snippet:
Upload upload1 = new Upload();
upload1.setId("upload1");
getPanelA.getChildren().add(upload1);
The page successfully shows up the file upload fields. While the user clicks the submit button, i have used following logic to perform upload:
List components = getPanelA().getChildren();
for(int i = 0; i<components.size(); i++){
if(components.get(i) instanceof Upload){
UploadedFile uploadedFile = ((Upload)components.get(i)).getUploadedFile();
I am getting this UploadedFile object null.
How can i solve this problem.

Anyway,
I solved the problem.
Actually i was using label property of the upload field due to which i got null pointer exception.
I removed the label property of the upload field and things worked as i wanted.

Retain selected file on File Upload field

I have a wizard consisting of 3 forms. The first form has a file upload field.
The selected file name is not retained when i navigate from the first form to the second and then back again to the first form.
I have tried to using javascript to record the selected filename in another field and then hoping that i can then repopulate the file upload 'text' box. However, this has failed as it appears that the file name selected is not the 'value' or 'text' of the file upload field.
Any ideas?

Some PC "windows" browsers need ".ogg" files in order to play.
Just a heads up.
I use jPlayer works on mac, Pc, & iOS

Unable to clear file upload fields in web pages.

When visiting any site which has the option to upload a file, I am unable to clear the field if I change my mind about uploading a file.
A website has a BROWSE or UPLOAD field and button. Pressing the button brings up the open file dialog. I select a file and select open in the dialog. If I then click on the field containing the path/file, I am presented with the open file dialog. I cannot clear or edit the field on the web page.
I originally thought it was something with the web page I visited, but then found another page did the same thing.

For instance if you go to this page again in Safari,
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf06/
and then select "View Source" from the View menu, then press command-f to "find" within the page and search for ".mov"
You will find this, which shows the url of the movie itself.
<param name="href" value="http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov">
If you copy just this part:
http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov
And open QuickTime Player, go to the File menu, select "Open URL" the movie will play.
If you try the same technique on the page at the link provided by your client, it will allow you to bypass the html code that may be doing an outdated compatibility check and the movie may play. Or it may tell you that you are missing components (codecs, compressors etc.) in which case, post here again.

File upload field

I have a profile update page, with a file field where the user can upload a photo.
But I have a major problem. I know that the fileupload form cannot contain a value from a database.
When I submit the form without the image, it resets the photo field to blank.
I would like to know:
How can I upload a photo with checking if the same name is already in the folder?
How can I leave the field intact so that the current image stays on blank field?
This is my code

Well I'm a newbie at OAS Portal so I used the Form based on a table and there in the FILE_ field I changed it from textbox to File Upload(binary), and then I ran the form and I filled all the textbox and then chose the file I wanted to upload I clicked on insert, then the row was inserted and then I tried to open the file but nothing happened!
=(
so probably is that the form is trying to save the file directly in the database right... so I must change the field type... right??

Update File Upload Field

Hi
I have a file upload function in a "Update Record" form. I don't need to add new entries into the DB for each upload so I set the update to entered value 1.
However on updating the record the file uploaded to the selected folder is deleted. Is it possible to update the same table field but not have the file deleted.
If I upload fileA and then update id field 1 to upload fileB I do not want to delete fileA when I update id 1
I hope that makes sense
L

Hi Albert
I can't find any delete triggers in the code.
****CODE***
//start Trigger_FileUpload trigger
//remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
function Trigger_FileUpload(&$tNG) {
$uploadObj = new tNG_FileUpload($tNG);
$uploadObj->setFormFieldName("sfile_path");
$uploadObj->setDbFieldName("sfile_path");
$uploadObj->setFolder("../onlinemembership/supportdocs/");
$uploadObj->setMaxSize(2000);
$uploadObj->setAllowedExtensions("pdf, doc, txt");
$uploadObj->setRename("auto");
return $uploadObj->Execute();
//end Trigger_FileUpload trigger
// Make an update transaction instance
$upd_support_file = new tNG_update($conn_DB_ACCESS);
$tNGs->addTransaction($upd_support_file);
// Register triggers
$upd_support_file->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Update1");
$upd_support_file->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Default_FormValidation", 10, $formValidation);
$upd_support_file->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "file2-test.php");
$upd_support_file->registerTrigger("AFTER", "Trigger_FileUpload", 97);
// Add columns
$upd_support_file->setTable("support_file");
$upd_support_file->addColumn("sfile_path", "FILE_TYPE", "FILES", "sfile_path");
$upd_support_file->setPrimaryKey("sfile_ID", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "VALUE", "1");
// Execute all the registered transactions
$tNGs->executeTransactions();
****END****

I want to create a form in Muse with a file upload field

I want to be able to have a form in which people can upload a file from my form which also provides information through other fields.
this does not seem to be available through Muse. Can I use Muse for this type of field?

Unfortunatly that sort of field is not yet available in Muse.
A couple of ways that do work with Muse is to:
1: host with Business CAtalyst and use their custom forms
or
2: Use Adobe Forms Central and embed the form into your muse site.
Both of those work well.

File Upload field in livecycle designer

Hi
Am trying to create a form which allow user to add an attachment and want to display the size of the attached field.And also i wnt to save the form in the local system .Could anyone help me to come out of this.

Niall O'Donovan wrote:
Hi,
Where a form is Reader Enabled in Acrobat, then the ability to attach other documents is restricted/not allowed:
The ability to attach documents is ONLY available if the user has Acrobat OR if the form has been Reader Enabled in the full LC Reader Extensions ES2.5.
See here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
Hope that helps,
Niall
Hi Niall,
Your answer and example is very helpful. I design a lot of forms with LiveCycle Designer ES2, and because of your answer here, I now know that the users of my forms will not be able to add attachments just by me "enabling Reader" from Acrobat.
I have been trying to find what it would cost for me to have LiveCycle Reader Extensions. I spoke with an Adobe sales rep, and she didn't seem to understand the concept (that the user cannot upload attachments without Reader Extensions having enabled it). She said something about the cost starting @ $50,000. What!? Is she talking about the same thing I need? Then she directed me to contact Customer Service.
I'm not sure who to turn to for my specific situation. I am the only one in my company using LiveCycle Designer and just need to enable a couple dozen people to be able to upload attachments to a form.
Any advice would be appreciated.

How to add a field for multiple file upload in WebApps ?

I am creating a WebApp for user to save some information with multiple pitcures. I can only see a single uploader.
How can I add multiple image uploader and How can I create a custom file upload field rather than image upload ?

Hi,
There's no other upload field type for web apps. You'll need to use the "image file type" to apply multiple file upload fields within the web app form in this case.
Kind regards,

File upload from smartphone?

Currently your file upload field does not allow smartphone users to upload images/videos, any chance this may be possible soon?
I used the following html5 coding on a separate site page and works well:
<form action="server.cgi" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="video" accept="video/*" capture>
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
Hoping this is also possible within your form but looks lke I'm not allowed to edit the form's html.
Thanks for your help.

This is something we are looking into. Can't say when it might be supported.

Flash 8 file upload .doc & .pdf help, please

I've been working with the file upload sample that came with
Flash 8 as well
as other sources to help me figure this one out... like:
http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/upload/index.php
Everything I seem to find out about file uploading with Flash
specifically
deals with images, but I need to upload .doc & .pdf files
to attach to an
email as part of an employment application process for a site
that is built
with Flash.
The back-end script is a simple ColdFusion file that I've
tested (and works
fine with a static HTML test page):
<cffile action="upload"
destination = "ServerAddressHERE"
accept = "image/jpg, application/msword, application/pdf"
fileField = "Form.resumeFile"
nameConflict = "Overwrite">
The Flash example script that comes with Flash 8 has been
modified as
follows:
System.security.allowDomain(" FQDN_here");
import flash.net.FileReference;
// The listener object listens for FileReference events.
var listener:Object = new Object();
// When the user selects a file, the onSelect() method is
called, and
// passed a reference to the FileReference object.
listener.onSelect = function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void
// Update the TextArea to notify the user that Flash is
attempting to
// upload the image.
statusArea.text += "Attempting to upload " +
selectedFile.name + "\n";
// sample code provided by Flash
selectedFile.upload("
http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/file_io/uploadFile.php");
// my modification here (I have tried absolute references as
well):
selectedFile.upload("upfile.cfm");
listener.onOpen = function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void {
statusArea.text += "Opening " + selectedFile.name + "\n";
// Once the file has uploaded, the onComplete() method is
called.
listener.onComplete =
function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void {
// Notify the user that Flash is starting to download the
image.
statusArea.text += "Downloading " + selectedFile.name + " to
player\n";
// this part is irrelevant to my needs and I've worked with
and without it
imagesCb.addItem(selectedFile.name);
imagesCb.selectedIndex = imagesCb.length - 1;
downloadImage();
var imageFile:FileReference = new FileReference();
imageFile.addListener(listener);
uploadBtn.addEventListener("click", uploadImage);
// this part is irrelevant to my needs and I've worked with
and without it
imagesCb.addEventListener("change", downloadImage);
imagePane.addEventListener("complete", imageDownloaded);
function imageDownloaded(event:Object):Void {
if(event.total == -1) {
imagePane.contentPath = "Message";
// this part is where I added the extensions I need:
function uploadImage(event:Object):Void {
imageFile.browse([{description: "Image Files", extension:
"*.jpg;*.gif;*.png;*.doc;*.pdf,"}]);
ANY ideas would be sincerely appreciated... even if it's just
to confirm
that the Flash file upload process ONLY works with image
files.... Thank you
ALL in advance for ANY help I can get. :-)

File upload problem when form consists of more than 5 elements

          Hi,
          I noticed some bizarre behaviour that only occurs when going through an ssl proxy
          link to httpclusterservlet on our clustered environment, does not occur without
          ssl proxy.
          I have two different multipart forms One of them has:
          1.one file upload field and 7 other input fields
          The other one has:
          2.one file upload field and 2 other input fields
          Number 2 works as expected,
          but number 1-- it appears as if my servlet is called twice and the stream is corrupt--
          for example it starts of with the boundary, but after the fifth element half it
          gets cut off and then my servlet is called again with the remaining elements leaving
          off with where it was cut off.
          I don't think this is normal behaviour.
          Any ideas?

Failed validation of file uploads makes them uneditable

I have an issue with a file upload field (af:inputFile), such that if an error occurs on submission the error message is not modal and so the user can altar the values and reenable the OK button with an error message still visible.
I was attempting to get around this since noone seemed to have a way to make the faces error messages modal (Is it possible to make message popup with error messages modal?).
I tried putting in a validator for the file... which works just fine (once you manage to actually clear the thing on cancel)... apart from the fact that once the validation fails the file name is shown as read only with an update button instead of a browse button. That update button then opens another dialog with a file upload in it and no matter what you do in this dialog the original one remains unchanged... and can be made visible if you move the new dialog off the top of it.
Why can I not actually update the file? Why does it open a different dialog with a different input field that doesn't have my validator or binding or value? What can I do to get around this?
I'm in ADF 11.1.1 but can use 12.1.2 if absolutely necessary for a fix. I don't use JDeveloper.
Thank you.

Thank you! Calling resetValue() on the file input component in the validator just before throwing ValidationException does the job!
I've added the filename to my validation error message so that the user can still see which file it was they tried to upload and I think that solves all my issues

In File Upload the file name disappears once a drop-down option is chosen

Hi,
There is a pop-up which contains File Upload UI element, an input field and a drop-down list. After specifying the file path, if i choose an option from the drop-down list, the file path disappears. However, the context attribute still holds the file path but at the UI level its not visible to the user. Please let me know what could be done for that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Deebika

Hi Anoop & Heidi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. It was really helpful.
When contacted the framework people, they informed that once a file name is being specified in the client and a roundtrip is performed, in the meantime the file gets uploaded to the server. The file path is reset afterwards, in order to prevent the file from being transferred again and again.

Deebika
