Add a file to our form

Postby Gloria Anderson » Fri Nov 14, 2003 9:05 pm

Does anyone know if I can add an "ADD FILE" attribute to our site? Our
product requires that a photo come with it. Currently we are using a two
form system. One on our regular site to send us the photo - then they go to
shopsite to place their order. It would be more convenient if they could
send their files along with their order so they match up with their order
numbers.

Thank You
Gloria

What about placing the form to send the file to you on the thankyou
receipt screen? Then you can add an additional field for them to enter
the order number from the order they just placed so that you can
associate the file with the order.

Loren -
Thank you. I just got news that verion 6.3 has a feature where you can add
any field you want to the shopping cart page. This might solve the problem.
Our provider is upgrading us for free. If that doesn't work, I will
definitely keep your suggestion in mind.

The process of uploading files generally involves a somewhat different
method of data encoding. An html form that allows the uploading of
files generally involves using multipart/form-data.

<form
name="this.form"
enctype="multipart/form-data"
method=POST
action="http://ushop2.com/cgi-own/motor.cgi">

Will 6.3 allow additional "fields"?
or will it allow "files"?

They are two entirely different animals.
