uploading two files

jjjj12212

Hi Everyone,

I have setup a new module and created a Form via Utils/FileUpload.



 public function admin() {

                if($this->is_back())

                    $this->parent->reset();

                $form = $this->init_module('Utils/FileUpload',array(false));

                $form->addElement('header', 'settings', __('File 1 Template'));

                $form->add_upload_element();

                $form->addElement('header', 'set', __('File 2 Template'));

                $form->add_upload_element();

                Base_ActionBarCommon::add('save',__('Save'),$form->get_submit_form_href());

                Base_ActionBarCommon::add('back',__('Back'),$this->create_back_ref());

                $this->display_module($form, array( array($this,'submit_all') ));

        }

So it shows "File 1 Template", then the file upload, then the next header "File 2 Template" and thats it... doesn't show the next file upload.

This is a bug? or a limitation? or am I coding it wrong?

I have 2 file uploads because both files have to be renamed in 2 different places.
Thanks,

Hi,

just take a look at add_upload_element() source code:



	public function add_upload_element($label=null) {

		if($this->added_upload_elem) return;

		$this->added_upload_elem = true;

		$form_name = $this->form->getAttribute('name');

		$this->form->addElement('hidden','form_name',$form_name);

		$s = $this->form->get_submit_form_js(false,__('Processing file...'));

		$this->form->addElement('hidden','submit_js',$s);

		$this->form->addElement('file', 'file', $label?$label:__('Specify file'));

	}

and you'll know that it's not possible. I don't know why but this module is limited to just one file input in the form. Maybe due to some historical limitations...

I've also tried to create a form and add file elements by hand, but it seems not working at all...

Split your config screen into two forms and handle files separately or create two screens to set those files.

Thanks Adam,

I'll try that.
