The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

How to pass a form field to a cfc on submission

Asked by jtheriau in Cold Fusion Markup Language, ColdFusion Application Server

Tags: , , ,

I have a form that gets submitted to itself and then calls a cfc in order to do the needed db work.  This cfc then calls another cfc to upload an image file onto the server.   However I am continually getting a fun message from CF saying that "The form field fileLoc did not contain a file. "

I am trying to figure out why the field which does contain a .tmp file fro mupload - does not pass through to the image upload script properly.

The form submits and then the code goes like this....

Is form updating ...
<cfif request.BusinessError EQ "" AND isDefined("form.updatebusiness")>
<cfset bus.bus_ID = business.SetBusiness(argumentcollection=form)>
<cfset msg = form.bus_Name & " Updated Successfully.">
</cfif>
This returns the id of the business
SetBusiness cfc looks like this...
<cfquery name="rsInsert" > Do the form field data entry</cfquery>
<!--- upload image here --->
<cfif form.bus_Logo NEQ "">
<cfset img = uploadImage(#bus_ID#,#form.bus_Logo#)></cfif>
You can see here that the file field is getting passed to yet ANOTHER CFC and uploadImage looks like this...
 
<cffunction name="uploadImage" hint="send me the upload file and bus ID and I will insert it.">
		<cfargument name="bus_ID" required="yes" hint="business ID you goof! numeric of course :)">
		<cfargument name="fileLoc" required="yes" hint="send me the file field.">
			
			<!--- Search for existing business folder --->
			<cfdirectory action="list" directory="#request.folderStruct#memberLogos" name="findFolder" filter="#bus_ID#">
				<!-- If no folder exists, create one --->
			<cfif findFolder.recordcount IS 0>
				<cflock name="crDir" timeout="30" type="exclusive">
					<cfdirectory action="create" directory="#request.folderStruct#memberLogos/#bus_ID#">
				</cflock>
			</cfif>
			<!--- Insert uploaded file--->
			<cflock name="crDir" timeout="30" type="exclusive">
				<cffile action="upload" filefield="fileLoc" destination="#request.folderStruct#memberLogos/#bus_ID#/" nameconflict="overwrite" accept="image/*">
</cflock>
<cfset fileName = cffile.clientFile>
<cfquery name="update_image">Update the business record with the 'filename'
</cfquery>		
</cffunction>
