Hi,

Simple question. I looked through the forum but I couldn't find this.

I am using the "file" type in a table to upload a document. Is there a simple way to get the full path to the file from JDOM?

If I call JDom::_('html.fly.file.default') and set indirect to false, it will return html code including the path but I can't figure out ho to only get the path so that I can access the file directly in the component.

Sorry if this has already been asked and anserwed.

Hi @Ferm,

You might want to check out this topic: www.j-cook.pro/forum/32-trouble-shooting...-uploaded-files#6042

It's not strictly what you want to do but may help.

BTW, what kind of file is it? Is it a PDF that you want to display in the browser or to give download link?

Thanks for your answer. I think that is a different question though. It is not a big problem as it is easy to put together the path to the file. I was just curious if I could get it with a simple call to a JDOM method.

Hi

Sure, JDom is totally customisable, just:

1. take one of the classes (and its assets etc)
2. clone it
3. rename it
4. rename the class(es)
5. make any adjustments you require such as chmod'ing the file on upload, changing path, adding js (Ajax uploader) or whatever.

Start with a class close to the type you require - so, as you're already doing, start with file class.

A good place to look at an example of customising JDom is in the tutorial: j-cook.pro/docs/tutorials

do you need to render the file in browser or link to download?
