File Field (upload) question

File Field (upload) question was created by jeff long
Hello,

Reference the File Field (Upload file input box).

Where is the MIME (file extension.....i.e. ,txt . pdf) and Path information stored in the component for file uploads?

Thank you.

You can read more about this field type here:

docs.joomla.org/File_form_field_type

I am not sure you can change where the files are uploaded using that file type.

Hello Mr. Jensen,

I'm assuming your the owner.....love this site/product. Thank you

In the creator when adding that field, it has inputs for the Folder and the MIME info. I thought it would appear in the XML file much like shown in the doc's you mention, but its not there. I've looked all through the files(code) and see no reference to how those values are set.

How does one modify those after the fact?

Will adding the appropriate attributes to the XML mess it up?

Is there a way to default to the Main Joomla Settings?

Thanks

Jeff

The MIME types should be added to the XML "accept"attribute yes. If they are not, it is a bug.

As for folder, then I do not see that attribute on the Joomla field. But it is probable that we have implemented something extra that I can't remember. I will ask Carl to investigate and get back to you on both issues.

Hi,
  1. The MIME is located in the Table class where the process of upload is happening.
  2. Adding appropriate attributes to the XML will not mess with the code
  3. It is not added to the XML is because we are using the file MIME to verify the EXACT file to upload whereas added to XML only tell the browser to show only that certain file when browse by file input
  4. the upload folder is default as "/uploads/" if it is not presented, it will be created.
