I'm working on a widget with some backend settings. One of the settings would allow clients to provide their own CSS files to customize the look of the widget. I put a link to a base CSS file, they download it, make their changes and reupload it to create their own custom theme.
The problem is when I try to upload the file, it uploads but turns it into gibberish. Example:
–wTSهϽ7½Ð" %ôz Ò;HQ‰I€P†„&vDF)VdTÀG‡"cE ƒ‚b× òPÆÁQDEåÝŒk ï5óÞšýÇYßÙç·×Ùgï}׺�Pü‚ÂtX€4¡XîëÁ\ ËÄ÷XÀáffGøDÔü½=™™¨HƳöî.€d»Û,¿P&sÖÿ‘"7C$�EÕ6<~&å”S³Å2ÿÊô•)2†12¡ ¢¬"ãįlö§æ+»É˜—&ä¡Yμ4žŒ»PÞš%ᣌ¡\˜%àg£|e½TIš�å÷(ÓÓøœL�0™_Ìç&¡l‰2Eî‰ò�”Ä9¼r‹ù9hž�x¦g䊉Ib¦×˜iåèÈfúñ³Sùb1+”ÃMáˆxLÏô´ Ž0€¯o–E%Ym™h‘í
Here is my upload code:
<cffile
action="UPLOAD"
filefield="form.vchrThemeFile"
destination="C:\path\to\directory\"
accept="text/css"
nameconflict="makeunique">
I am using enctype="multipart/form-data" on the form.
<form action="<cfoutput>#submit#</cfoutput>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Thank you

I am fairly new to the Django and HTML world and and would like to be able to select a video file and then play it in an edited version (AI classification and some OpenCV editing).
At the moment, playing of a local file works in that way that the file path of my dummy video file is fixed in my script where I load the VideoStream.
However, I would like to be able to specify via HTML input which file to load.
I have the problem that I do not know how to pass the selected file.
Via urls, parameters can be passed, but I do not know how I can pass the path or URL of the video file as a parameter. Or can something like this be achieved via post requests and if so how?
Here are parts of my script (I don't use post request for this at the moment):
<form action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<input id="myFileInput" type="text">
<input class="button1" id="inputfield" name="upload" type="file" accept="video/*" onchange="document.getElementById('myFileInput').src = window.URL.createObjectURL(this.files[0]); document.getElementById('buttonStart').className = 'button'; this.form.submit()" value="Select a File"/>
</form>
The file path is stored in 'myFileInput'. But I could also get the file path through post request. Then I have the problem, that no class instance that I know where I could save that path and load it later.
<img id="demo" src="">
and the function for
function video_on() {
document.getElementById("demo").src = "{% url 'mask_feed' urlpath='path_I_would_like_to_pass' %}"; //
document.getElementById("wait").innerHTML = "Turning on. . . . .";
setTimeout(showText, 3000);
}
and the urls.py file:
path('mask_feed/<path:urlpath>', views.mask_feed, name='mask_feed'),
And of course I have a mask_feed method in my views.py that takes urlpath as argument.
How can I "insert" the file path I get with html insert into the Django template "{% url 'mask_feed' urlpath='path_I_would_like_to_pass' %}"?
I would like to do something like this:
document.getElementById("demo").src = "{% url 'mask_feed' urlpath='document.getElementById('myFileInput').src' %}"
But it doesn't work because of the quotation marks.
And if this is not the way to go, how should I do it?
I'm not sure I understand how to phrase my question, but I believe it's specific to ColdFusion's handling of certain AJAX form data, despite my reference to a specific JavaScript plugin.
I'm trying to implement the FilePond uploader on a ColdFusion 2011 server, and I've got it configured well on the frontend (it uploads the files to tmp folder just fine), but my problem is not knowing how to get ColdFusion to process the extra metadata it sends along with it on every upload. This data doesn't look to me like it comes in the same format as plain old hidden input fields.
When I inspect the network request with Dev Tools, it looks different to me than other forms I've processed. There are two "filepond" entries, one a JSON object and the other the binary image. When I < cfdump var="#form.FilePond#">, I only get the tmp uploaded file path, which I can process. But how do I access the JSON in my screenshot containing the "parentid"? Nothing I've tried, like form.FilePond[1], seems to work and throws errors.
Update with output from CF form processing page:
1st line is output of Form.FilePond.
2nd is cfdump of Form.
3rd is cfdump URL.
4th is cfdump of getHttpRequestData()
Update:
Bugs filed for CF2016 (core support ending for CF11 after April 2019)
CF-4204103 -
FORM scope is missing values when same named fields include type=file
CF-4204102 - sameFormFieldAsArray setting doesn't work with enctype="multipart/form-data"
After some testing, I've concluded it's a ColdFusion bug.
Issue:
The issue seems to occur under these conditions
Request is a multipart/form-data POST
Contains multiple fields with the same name
At least 1 of those fields is a file field i.e. type="file"
The first field submitted (within the group) is NOT a file field
Under those conditions, ColdFusion seems to ignore everything before the first file field. (If you check the filepond source ut confirms the metadata field is submitted before any file fields). That's why the metadata value doesn't appear when dumping the FORM scope.
Note, the this.sameFormFieldsAsArray setting has no effect because it doesn't work with multipart/form-data requests.
Test Case
Below is a test case. Notice the results are what you'd expect when the same named field occurs after the first file field?
<cfdump var="#form#" label="Form scope">
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<br>First:
<input type="file" name="fileFirst"><br>
<input type="text" name="fileFirst" value="Lions"><br>
<br>Last:
<input type="text" name="fileLast" value="Tigers"><br>
<input type="file" name="fileLast"><br>
<br>Middle:
<input type="text" name="fileMiddle" value="Bears"><br>
<input type="file" name="fileMiddle"><br>
<input type="text" name="fileMiddle" value="Oh My"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
Workaround
This blog provides a workaround using an undocumented feature of the FORM scope. Using form.getPartsArray() provides access to both "filePond" fields allowing you to extract the value of the dropped field. Not ideal, but does work until the issue is fixed.
Keep in mind this is an undocumented feature, so be sure to isolate the code for easier alterations in case Adobe alters or removes that function in the future (which they've done before, so fair warning!).
<cfscript>
// dump raw form fields
for (part in form.getPartsArray()) {
writeDump({ fieldName = part.getName()
, isFile = part.isFile()
, fieldValue = (part.isFile() ? part.getFileName() : part.getStringValue())
}
);
}
</cfscript>
I am programming a website powered by Django 1.6.3. Under news you always see a big story and on the side recent articles. Therefore, I used Bootstrap 3 and wrote a static html page serving my requirements.
Now I would like to program the logic behind this. I save all my files under static that consists of the folders css, fonts (from Bootstrap), img and js. The image folder has some subfolder e.g. news. To create a new entry on the news page I would like to open the admin page, add a news_entry and select one image that should be under the titel. How is it possible to include the image in the page? My approach was:
<img src="{% static {{ news.image_name }} %}" class="img-title">
Unfortunately I get an parsing error. Image_name is a property of my news model.
You need to access the url attribute of your image_name.
Try:
<img src="{{ news.image_name.url }}" class="img-title">

I have trying since a few days to change the enctype in joomla registration page. I am not a pro at Joomla. I edited
components/com_users/views/registration/tmpl/default.php
and added the enctype attribute to the form line as, so now it looks like this:
<form id="member-registration" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo
JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.register'); ?>"
method="post" class="form-validate" >
However, the change is not being reflected on the user side :(.
I want to change the enctype to multipart/form-data to allow image uploads via Profile Picture plugin. I tried using K2 registration form as well, but with no success. Any help is highly appreciated.
Your template probably has an override for the output. Have a look at the file in /templates/yourtemplate/com_users/registration/default.php
Some doc about template overrides can be found here: http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_output_from_the_Joomla!_core
I'm using the django-contrib package django-profiles, and everything is working great - my only issue is that I would like the form to upload a file (for an avatar), unfortunately - the form does not upload the file.
Has anyone successfully managed to get file uploads working with django-profiles? I want to avoid having to set up a seperate upload view just for the avatar?
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Martin
In your template add enctype="multipart/form-data" in form tag. Example:
<form method="post" action="." enctype="multipart/form-data">
