Image fileld in FormTemplateProcessor

[dhruba]

Hi

 

Not able to add image fields in FormTemplateProcessor................HELP

Error: Exception: New page '/CMS/ProcessWire/embedded-c//' must be saved before files can be accessed from it (in Z:\web\CMS\ProcessWire\wire\core\PagefilesManager.php line 167)

You got the problem right there in the error message. A page need to first be saved before images can be added or loaded. I think the from processing tries to render image field with the uploaded image but isn't really yet uploaded or saved.

Not sure what you're using this for but FormTemplateProcessor isn't meant to work with file fields and also not recommended for front end forms with uploads. Kinda big security risk there.

There's some examples around for different forms for front-end with file uploads.

http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2089-create-simple-forms-using-api/ long thread with various things.

Some examples you'll find in my gists namely

The FormBuilder module also supports front-end file/image uploads in a secure manner. FormTemplateProcessor was just made as a proof of concept for people to adapt and build upon where useful. Whereas FormBuilder is a full system.
