Uploading images (photo's) using messageFileUpload?

I'm trying to use images in UIX in combination with JHeadstart.
Has anyone used the <messageFileUpload> in UIX? Is this the element to use if I want to upload a picture to the database?
More-over, what things do I have to keep in mind if I use this eg. HOW do I use it and what column type should the db-column be?
I guess I can display this column in UIX using the <image> element? Any examples are more than welcome.

Bram,
I'm trying to use images in UIX in combination with JHeadstart.

More-over, what things do I have to keep in mind if I use this eg. HOW do I use it and what column type should the db-column be?The DB column type should be a BLOB. Out of the box, the MVC Framework only supports file upload to a file server. Please address this part of your question to the Cleveland discussion forum on OTN. The Cleveland forum is the forum to ask questions about the MVC Framework. (The MVC Framework used to be called Project Cleveland).
I guess I can display this column in UIX using the <image> element? Any examples are more than welcome. Yes, you can use the <image> element. What is your e-mail address? We can send you some sample code.

How can I upload multiple photos without using an app?

I'm a special education teacher, and I teach a photography lab that teaches students how to scan and edit photos. We use the school's set of Ipad2's in order to crop the photos since the majority of students I have don't have the hand eye coordination neccisary to crop using a desktop computer and mouse. The problem I'm running into, however, is that our IT department wont let me download any apps onto the iPads. I've asked on six seperate occasions in order for them to update the iPads to ios7 and to give teachers the permission to install apps-- the first request coming at the start of the school year-- and they havent responded to any of them, so I'm not holding my breath.
Currently, I'm uploading all of the photos my students scan to my personal dropbox account, and the students access that and download each photo individually onto their ipads. Not the easiest thing for special education students to do, but its doable. I have not found an easy way to get the cropped photos off the ipads, however. Any ideas? I could attach each photo to an email, allthough thats more trouble than its worth most times. Dropbox will only allow me to upload one photo at a time, and keeps overwriting the photo I previously uploaded with the new one if I try to upload a second photo. Photo stream is the obvious answer, but icloud is disabled on all the ipads and only IT can turn it back on, something they've been unwiling to do

I worked in IT on the university level for four years so it's really frustrating to see more safeguards in place in a public school district any university. If we're trying to teach these kids to be ready for real life and then block out and don't let them use half the technology they're going to encounter in real life, well I just don't get that. But that's another rant for another time.
How I do it is I save all of the photos my students scan onto my external hard drive, then transfer them to my personal computer and upload them to dropbox using Dropbox for windows (or whatever the desktop application is called) . I then have my students go to dropbox.com on the iPad, login as me, and go through each photo, saving each to the iPad as they go.
I should have said upfront that when I try to connect the iPad to my personal computer it charges the iPad but won't recognize under my computer or show up in iTunes, so I am unable to see any of the data on it. I'm pretty sure it's not the 30 pin connector that's malfunctioning because I've tried with two of them. I can only check if it registers with iTunes on my personal computer because I can't download iTunes on school computers since I don't have administrator privileges

How to upload images to server using flex and blazeDS

Hi All,
Could you some help me, regarding uploading two images while click on the upload button. i am have two browse buttons and two upload buttons. i am able to select the image, while click on the browse button. but i am unable to upload the image, while click on the upload button. like this, i have to do in my application.
if some help me i will appreciate , its very urgent.
Thanks

When uploading a file, I use a byte array as a temporary buffer..
So, you should then be able to store the byte array in the
database as binary data.
example>
//Temporary Buffer To Store File
byte[] tmpbuffer = new byte[860];
//Some Code To Upload File...
//File Should Now Be In Byte Array
//Get DB Connection and execute Prepared Statement
Connection con=//GET DB CONNECTION;
String sql=insert into TABLE(page) values(?);
PreparedStatement ps=con.prepareStatement(sql);
ps.setBytes(1,tempbuffer);
ps.executeUpdate();
//Close PS and Free DB Connection
..... and this method looks like you dont even have
to store the file in a byte array, you can just give
it the input stream.
ps.setBinaryStream(int, inputStream, int);
You may have to make several attempts at this. I have
uploaded a file and temporarily stored it in a byte array,
but have never from there stored it in the DB as binary
data.. but this looks like it'll work.
Good Luck!

Help Needed! To upload image to db2 using struts & hibernation[code inside]

Hi all, currently i have successfully created the application for inserting text data into my db2 through the use of struts with hibernation. But i need to insert image now which seems to be different from just inserting text data.
From my understanding, the image will be converted to bytes and store as Blob in my db2, but i need hlp in knowing how to do this, i did a search and i found the following codes posted by another guy in this forum but he did not reply his thread at all...i am feeling very puzzel about the last file which is /RegPersonalDetails.java. Did he missed out a bean file?? which is the TempPhoto bean? i really do not understand the last file, The first file is the JSP , the second is the bean and the third is the Action class. i did exactly the same as his but i do not know how to use the RegPersonalDetails.java. please help thanks.. i am using websphere studio 5 and hibernate 2.
Below is the example i got from the guy:
//Registration.jsp

var ext=source.substring(source.lastIndexOf(".")+1,source.length).toLowerCase();
for (var i=0; i<fileTypes.length; i++) if (fileTypes==ext) break;
var globalPic=new Image();
if (!(i><fileTypes.length)){
alert("THAT IS NOT A VALID IMAGE\nPlease load an image with an extention of one of the following:\n\n"+fileTypes.join(", "));

Problem when trying to rename uploaded images using session value

Hi,
I have a form where 9 images are uploaded made into thumb nail size and then stored in a file. What I´m trying to do is rename those thumbnails from their original name to username_0, username_1, username_2 etc for each of the 9 thumbs. The username comes from the registration form on the same page. I have created a session variable for the username and am trying to use that to change to name of the image name, whilst my images are uploading and resizing the name stays as the original and not as the new username_$number. I have pasted relevant code below and would very much appreciate any help with this:

I hope i´ve supplied enough information and look forward to receiving any help or advise in this matter.

Use double quotes here:

Change it to this:
$newname = str_replace ('name', "$username_$number", $name);

Problem using email to upload image files to Mobile Me gallery

I will cross post this question to both Mail and Mobile Me discussion groups because I don't know where my problem lies.
I have published a gallery page from iPhoto to my Mobile Me gallery. There are two ways to upload additional photos. I am not having trouble adding image files with the Upload feature. I cannot get the email function to work. The emails I send to the email address for the gallery bounce back to my mail inbox.

One of the images I am trying to attach is a jpeg file of 61 kb.
I have tried to drag the image from my desktop to the body of the email. I have tried using the "attach" function and selecting the file name. I am not sending any text with these files.
When I built these albums, I checked and enabled all the options.
I am having this same issue when I try to upload via email to any of my Mobile Me gallery pages.
There is currently one photo displayed here:
http://gallery.me.com/tplattenberger#100352
If anyone wishes to try to upload to that gallery using email (Send to Album) that would be great and if successful, that might provide a clue to my problem.
As I say, I currently have one photo there. If you find a lot more, please do not add.
What's the problem?
Tom

The images I am trying are newly created and old.
A weird hint perhaps...
I just copied an image from Apple's home page and pasted it into the email and tried again...
it worked.
So I tried again, dragging from iPhoto and it did not work... the email bounced back.
So I tried again, this time using copy and paste (like I did from Apple's page) from iPhoto... it did not work.

I am trying to upload my photos to iphoto. I keep receiving a error message that say "Iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image" What do i Do?!

I am trying to upload my photos to iphoto. I keep receiving a error message that say "Iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image" What do i Do?!

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Can you create an image field in the form so a respondent can upload a photo to it?

I have tried to order a photo book. Both times it uploaded images etc and then after payment details a message pops up saying this album couldn't be processed. Please try again. Has anyone else experienced this? Can the photo books be printed in store?

Your screenshot is not visible.
Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail.

Using curve 8520 to upload images to facebook

i am in love with the curve 8520 ease of uploading images to facebook without having to first save the images to pictures
when i receive an e-mail i can simply send the photo to facebook without having to save it to pictures and when i visit a website using the browser i can simply select full image then send simply send he image to facebook.
while researching other models with the intention to upgarde i discovered that the torch 9800 and bold 9900 do not have this feature. what is this feature called ? it is imperative that tis feature is available in the other models that i am considering upgarding to. what model has this feature?

Currently, there is no direct method to upload images programmatically via Adobe Drive. Adobe Drive SDK is used to develop custom connector.
BTW, InDesgin has a function called package(Menu:File->Package). After you open a file with linked files and click menu File->Package, you specify a folder in Adobe Drive disk(Z:), then all related files will be saved to the specified folder and checked in automatically, no matter the original linked files are checked into the server or not. The disadvantage is that it may break your current folder structure. If the package function can meet your requirement, you can refer InDesign SDK from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html to develop a plugin/extension to do this work.

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.
