Help please! File upload applet integration with Domino

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I am interested in using a 3rd party file upload applet from:

http://www.radinks.com/upload/

This would allow me to add to my Domino web application a web page where users can drag and drop mulitple files for upload to a Lotus Domino database.

I need to use the applet because I need this to work on Macintosh as well as PC browsers.

Can anyone help me with the necessary instructions to integrate this applet with Lotus Domino? I can’t figure out how to get the files it uploads back into a domino database.

I would need step by step instructions like: insert applet onto a form in the domino designer, set the parameters as follows… create an agent to receive the files with the following Lotus Script… etc.

I have fiddled with this for several hours and managed to get the applet to load and run, but have no clue how to “point” the uploaded files at my Domino database and actually receive them.

I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Tom

Looking at the php file in the free download it looks like this utility just writes the files to a filepath you specify. You should be able to add the files to the Notes document with a WebQuerySave agent?

I guess this means you’d need a different filepath for each document, which will be easier if the utility can create them itself. The WQSave agent will need to do some tidying up.

You can add files to a document like this

Set fileatt = rtitem.EmbedObject( EMBED_ATTACHMENT, “”, Fpath$ )

Where rtitem is a Notes richtextitem (often called “Body”), Fname$ is a string containing the full filepath of the uploaded file and fileatt is a NotesEmbeddedObject.

Hi, thanks for the response!

When you say you think the utility writes the files to a filepath I specify… do you mean the applet actually dumps all the files on the server hard drive somewhere, then the agent I write is supposed to just attach them to the document from the local server filesystem?

So if I can figure out how to get a list of file names from the applet, I can code the agent to upload them, that is no problem… IF I can figure out how to get the file names.

Thanks!
