Problems with additional image fields and the upload form

[blue4603]

Hello everyone,

I faced a weird problem.

I tried to add two additional fields to the image.

I followed the tutorial in the forums.

One of the fields is working fine while the other is not working. I will explain what I am doing on my site.

The two additional can be added using the upload form. When submitting the form, I am doing some modification to the fields in the member.php file before it is saved in the database. The first one can be modified and manipulated successfully. The second one, however,  always take what was posted in the form. I can not modify it. I tried to change its value before the sql query and but it reserves the posted value.

I tried to add a third additional field but the same problem.

So this is what I am facing. Could you help me plz.

Thanks

Regards

Hi.

This is what I have changed

In db_field_definitions.php
I added

Code: [Select]

$additional_image_fields['image_personal'] = array("Personal Image", "text", 0);
$additional_image_fields['image_personal_colored'] = array("Personal Image color", "text", 0);
I added two columns to the 4images_images and 4images_images_temp

Code: [Select]

ALTER TABLE `4images_images` ADD `image_personal` text;
ALTER TABLE `4images_images` ADD `image_personal_colored` text;

ALTER TABLE `4images_images_temp` ADD `image_personal` text;
ALTER TABLE `4images_images_temp` ADD `image_personal_colored` text;
In the member_uploadform.html
I added

Code: [Select]


<textarea name="image_personal" cols="30" class="textarea" rows="10" wrap="VIRTUAL"></textarea>
<textarea type="hidden" name="image_personal_colored" cols="30" class="textarea" rows="10" wrap="VIRTUAL"></textarea>

In the member.php

I added this

Code: [Select]

  $image_personal = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_personal']));
  $image_personal_colored = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_personal_colored']));

$image_personal = modifystring($image_personal)
  $image_personal_colored = modifystring($image_personal_colored)

function modifystring($str)
{//put here arbitrary modification to the string
}

Now after uploading an image the image_personal is modified and stored. The image_personal_colored, however, will take only the posted value and can not be modified.
Even if I add this line before the sql query that saves the image
$image_personal_colored="blah blah";
the image_personal_colored value will not change. and will reserve the posted value.

I hope that I clarified my problem for you.

thanks for your help.

In the member.php

I added this

Code: [Select]

  $image_personal = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_personal']));
  $image_personal_colored = un_htmlspecialchars(trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['image_personal_colored']));

$image_personal = modifystring($image_personal)
  $image_personal_colored = modifystring($image_persona_colored)

function modifystring($str)
{//put here arbitrary modification to the string
}


maybe because misspell
$image_personal_colored = modifystring($image_personal_colored)

Hi,

No I misspelled it in the post only.

Hi,

why you use type="hidden" for textarea  image_personal_colored?
