• Ask Ben: Upload And Email File Using ColdFusion

  Posted on Jul 19, 2011 at 1:54 PM

  Hi - I'm trying to use this method to validate and upload multiple files. Is the best approach to replicate the code for handling one for each and every other file I want uploaded and rename the elements accordingly? Thank you.... read more »

• Ask Ben: Upload And Email File Using ColdFusion

  Posted on Jul 12, 2011 at 1:27 PM

  Okay - I've double checked this time. What I want to accomplish is to have the user's file renamed to a designated name once it passes validation. The validation works in checking that the form field is not empty nor contains a file that is not designated. However, using the following cod... read more »

  Hi Ben - I have successfully used a variation of your code to complete my task. I am wondering, however, if there is something with docx files that will not pass the error checking: <cfif NOT ListFindNoCase( "pdf,doc, docx, rtf", CFFILE.ServerFileExt )> Simply adding the docx ex... read more »

  @Ben - Thank you for the reply. I understand that I can directly link to the files, but is using cfdirectory in conjunction with expandPath not possible? I am using expandPath within cfdirectory to read the files. I name it "nomineeFiles." I then output the query "nomineeFiles" and reference "... read more »

  Thanks Ben - I seem to have an issue with the expandPath method and the directory it references. If I may expand upon this issue, I am trying to reference a directory of files visitors have uploaded. Those files reside in a path like this: site/awards/chancellorsProfessors/nominationUploads/#fn... read more »

  Hi Ben - In order to make this form function with multiple uploads, would I need to duplicate the code <cfelseif ArrayLen( arrErrors )> <!--- The file has been selected, but there are errors caused by other parts of the form validation. Therefore, we now have a file that is just sittin... read more »

• Not Commenting And The Tipping Point Of Poor Programming

  Posted on Jun 5, 2008 at 10:58 AM

  When going through school, it was always preached to comment your code. I did for my projects and for my own benefit. When I started out professionally, my mentors did not comment their code because there wasn't "enough time." I did pick up this bad habit, but have recently corrected myself and b... read more »
