Re: Choice of Upload destination Folder
Hi,
Good question, but the site is being built for a specific purpose.
The Upload page will be behind a login page. There are only a handful of
people that will acess this.
This is a training Portal site that I wanted to clean up, as over the years
powerpoint and documents were dumped all over the place.
Only a few Trainers will be accessing the upload, and they are responsible for
each "Folder". So unless they place the presentations into the correct folder,
they will be not be displayed.
This is linked to another Forum thread based on Tabbed pages with Spry and
MySQL data.
I have gotten around this by creating a pure CSS based Tab stucture which now
allows me to populate the tab content with direct PHP MySQL Data. So I am
killing two birds with the one stone here!
Each tab has a Recordset filtered to look for two sets of criteria, The Tab
Name, ie Product Family and also Product Sub Group.
After Uploading the file, the user then goes to a Form to add a Record to the
database and they choose from a few dropdown options, where they must choose
their own Family Name and Sub Group and the Powerpoint name as art of the input
form.
The record will only be displayed in the correct tab and in the correct
subcategory, if they have correctly added the presentation into the correct
folder and put in the correct Powerpoint name as it will be linked to on the
page.
I hope this is making sense. It does by now make sense to me.
There will be specific instuctions on the pages to do this correctly. I am
coding this now so that on the front end, it looks smooth, simple and straight
forward, which testing today is working fine.
So to answer your query, based on this site, it is in the interest of the
trainer to choose their relevent folder :}
I hope this makes sense, but I think the folder option is a great
breakthrough and I hope people will find a use for it somehow. (Nearly caused
a Divorce but hey...)
