texte = Hi,Is anyone using SiteEdit Pro (a PCS product) with WebCatalog for image file uploads? I have been doing some experimenting (SiteEdit Pro 2.0.4, WebStar 2.1, WebCat 2.1), and so far so good. I use the following form for the user to specify which file to upload, then SiteEdit Pro renames the file and puts it into the proper folder based on the username and password.
Cool... but after the user pushes the Send File button they are taken to the SiteEdit Pro listing of all the files in their folder (including the freshly renamed file they uploaded). In my case, this is not necessary (I use WebDNA for deletion etc.). I looked through the list archives (nice work PCS!) and see that last November Grant mentioned it is possible to set it up with WebDNA so that the SiteEdit interface is invisible to the user. I would like to return a WebCat generated page after the button is pushed. Darned if I can figure out how to do it though...Also, how would this work using ActiveX Controls for IE browsers? Would a different form need to be returned based on the user's browser, or perhaps on the user and whether the ActiveX box is checked in their SiteEdit user preferences. Up to now I have only tried uploading files with fairly recent versions (3.0+) of Netscape (Mac and Windows). I would prefer to use a browser-based upload solution, rather than requiring the users to rename their files accurately and FTP them to their folders.Thanks!Wendell Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
