Files

It is easy to upload files in using cf_sebField.

To upload a file to "/files/" folder of a site, you could use the following code:

<cf_sebForm>
   <cf_sebField type="file" name="MyFile" destination="#ExpandPath('/files/')#">
   <cf_sebField type="submit" label="Submit">
</cf_sebForm>

Note that have you don't have to specify an "enctype" on the form as cf_sebForm automatically detects the presence of a cf_sebField with file type and sets that attribute appropriately.

The file will be uploaded with the "MyFile" variable (in the case of the previous example) will be set to the name of the uploaded file (not including path information).

The following attributes are available for files fields:

• destination (required): The server path of the folder to which the file should be uploaded.
• urlpath (optional): The browser path to the destination folder. Providing this will allow a link to the file when a value exists for the field.
• extensions (optional): A comma delimited list of file extensions. If provided, cf_sebField will create both client and server validation to verify that file has one of those extensions.
• showFile (default:true): Indicates if a link to the file should be provided when a value exists for the field.
• nameconflict (default:"Error"): Set the CFFILE attribute of the same name.
• mode (default:644): Set the CFFILE attribute of the same name.
• accept: Set the CFFILE attribute of the same name.

Images

Some extra options are availeble for dealing with images:

If you use type="image", then cf_sebField will set the "extensions" and "accept" arguments appropriately.

Other attributes for images:

• showImage (default:true): Indicates if the image should be displayed when a value exists for the field and the file extension indicates that the file is an image.
