CFFILE UPLOAD TO SPECIFIC DIRECTORY

[kingjjx]

I am trying to make an upload page, but I want the users to be able to choose which directory to upload their file.

EXAMPLE: (a user with a honda bike, model-234 can click on bikes .. then it will provide the different folders within bike and he can then choose model-234 and upload his file to this folder)

BIKES
|-- honda
| |--Model-234
| |--Model-789
|-- yamaha
| |--Model-xyz
| |--Model-crx
|-- Suzuki


how do i do this ???
any help will be much appreciated.

thanks

You could put a radio button next to each directory/subdirectory and pass that to the page that uploads the file -- then use that to specify the upload directory in the cffile tag.

e.g,
Bikes --
--- Honda
-----<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;SubDir&quot; value=&quot;honda\model-234&quot;> model-234
-----<input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;SubDir&quot; value=&quot;honda\model-789&quot;> model-789
etc...

Then on the upload page put:
<cffile action=&quot;Upload&quot; file=&quot;#form.FileFieldName#&quot; Destination = &quot;c:\Bikes\#form.SubDir#&quot;>
etc..

HTH,

Just another suggestion, although I'm not sure how easy it is (as I've never used it): CFTREE and CFTREEITEM can be used to create a navigation tree similar to that in windows explorer. Visitors can select the folder they want, and you can pass a variable from the tree to use as the upload directory.
