Please note that the folder 'admin/images'
MUST have read/write AND modify permissions set on it
for the image library to work. Do this from right click
in windows explorer or ask your isp to set up these
permissions.
( having read and write permissions will allow you to
upload files but you will need modify permissions to
delete them...)
the files default_image.asp and upload.inc are created
if you have 'Create image library' checked when you
generated the files
After you have created your asp files then you will
see a link 'Image library' on all screens ( apart from
the list screens ) in your administration area.
clicking on that link will open this window
There is currently no pictures in the folder admin/images
so there is nothing in the list
browse for a picture on your local hard drive and then
click upload.
After the picture has uploaded click on select.
In this example we are adding pictures to our contact
database.
You will see the 'path guide' which is the path of the
image from the root of the website.
This means it is an easy task to paste this into a 'picture
path' field that you can create in one of your tables.
For instance in the contact demo there is a field called
contactPicture.
We can find the record for this person - paste the value
of 'path guide' into this field and then update the
record.
Now we just need to display this picture on the 'front
end'
easy!
in our contact example open up the file contactsDetail.asp.
find this line
<tr><td valign=top>contactPicture</td><td><%=rs("contactPicture")%></td></tr>
Now replace this line with...
<tr><td valign=top>contact
Picture</td><td>
<%
'check to see if there is a picture !
if rs("contactPicture")<>""
then %>
<img src="<%=rs("contactPicture")%>">
<%else
response.write "currently no picture!"
end if %>
</td></tr>
thats it ! - you
can see a demo here ! this took 5 minutes to get
online - 5 minutes!!!! - for a fully administratable
online database with image upload and control!!!!! -
create news scripts, product lists , picture galleries
- all in pure asp all with incredible speed !!!
