Optional upload and default image

[bigwillhere]

I'm using 4images as a classified script. Thanks to this forum and support everything is working great.

As you know. classifieds have several categories. For example I have a category for Personals, Auto, Merchandise, Services, etc, with sub categories. In some cases, uploading a picture for a category seems appropriate (i.e. Personals - men looking for women) while others don't (i.e. Services - baby sitting).

After much searching on the forum for a solution, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion or solution for the following.

As you know, the member_uploadform.html is the template used to upload an image. I also use the same form so members can provide a description of the item they are posting.

 I want to give the members the OPTION of uploading their own image OR if an image isn't really needed for the ad,  a default image is uploaded (i.e. a person wants to post an ad in the baby sitting category, provide a description of their service in member_uploadform.html, but not upload  an image - in this case, I would like a default image to be placed with this ad).  I can create this default image, but the problem I'm having is how to implement the option for member to upload their own image or if they do not upload, a default image is provided. Having it optional is important.

If someone has a solution for the above  it would be apprecaited.

I know I'm asking too much, but if it was possible to have it for some categories it was required that a member to upload while other categories it would be OPTIONAL for them to upload their own image or instead use the default image would be great.

Beggars can't be choosy so I'll take what I can get  .

Thanks

Upload to their own image ... I no get this ... you mean ... members upload category ? If so ... is here: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=18564.0

Thanks for the reply thuderstrike. I looked at that link already but not what I'm looking for.

Sorry for not explaining well. Let me try again.

I want to give the members the OPTION of uploading their own image OR if an image isn't really needed for the ad

In member_uploadform.html  the member cam browse and upload their own image. This is how it is  by default. What I want is a member to have the option to upload their own image (as it is by default) OR if they do not want to upload their own image a default image  is uploaded.

I hope I explained that well.

Thanks

And ... what is default image and where is 4images is get default image for FTP folder ?

[bigwillhere]

I can create this default image, but the problem I'm having is how to implement the option for member to upload their own image or if they do not upload, a default image is provided. Having it optional is important

I would create it myself. Probably use photo shop and create a logo image as the default image. Upload it to the appropriate folder for it to be used as the default image. Not sure what folder that would be, but obviously there has to be a default image on the server for 4images to fetch when needed.

Thanks

In 4images, if media image or thumb image is no detect, this is default icon image: 404.gif in templates/your_template/icons folder.

Man, thuderstrike.........you are great..........haven't had a chance to test it, but I'm so thrilled with your tech support and quick response I had to let you know. After I make changes and test I will let you know if all worked (i expect it will).

Thanks for great support.

[bigwillhere]

OOPS

After I made the changes I tested. Went to upload page and left the upload field blank. When I submit it goes to a new page and I got this error.

Template Error: Couldn't open Template ./templates/stylish_green/media/.html

Even though I got the above error, I notice the 404.gif still in the admin section waiting to be validated.

Hmmmm, how to eliminate the above error message and redirect back to home page.

[thunderstrike]

I post patch. Try now (fresh upload).

[bigwillhere]

Sorry thunderstrike but still get error.

Template Error: Couldn't open Template ./templates/stylish_green/media/gif.html.html


I started fresh, cleared cache, even did the changes twice to be sure I did it correctly but still get error. After I submit, it goes to a new page and gives the above error. However,  the gif is in the ACP waiting for admin validation.

[thunderstrike]

Right.

After all change - replace:

Code: [Select]

$media = $site_template->parse_template("media/gif.html");

for:

Code: [Select]

$media = $site_template->parse_template("media/gif");


[bigwillhere]

still error


Template Error: Couldn't open Template ./templates/stylish_green/media/gif.html.html


Well friend, I don't want you to keep at it. If you want to give up, I understand. I guess it is one of those things that isn't changeable.

thanks for your time and support. I appreciate it.

[thunderstrike]

Is no possible after this change for see same error. Check if file is save before upload to server. parse_template method is code with template extension in constructor. Is no possible for get same error after fix.
