I'm building my first WO app (not counting the tutorial) and I'm
stuck. First time of many, I'm sure. :)
My goal is to duplicate this site: http://www.nhlpm.org. We put
that together as a temporary site for a former neighbor, who has a
license plate museum in his garage. Right now it's static HTML, and
the long-term goal is to build him a really snazzy site to showcase
his collection. But for now I just want to duplicate what's there,
which means (disregarding the intro page) I need one display page and
one set of add/edit/delete pages.
My entity is called Panel, and I made it through all the EOModeler/
FrontBase stuff without too much trouble. I decided to write the
"add" page first, since I need to get something into the database
before I can do anything else. So first I wrote an add page that
just handled the title and description, and life is good. Data is
making it's way into the database just fine.
Now I need to handle the thumbnail and full-sized images. I knew
this would be the hard part; I've seen a number of people having
trouble with WOFileUpload. So I started out simple - no file type
checking or anything, just get the data into the database.
The two attributes are called thumbnail and bigImage, and they are
both BLOBs on the database side and NSData on the application side.
My first attempt was to put the two WOFileUploads into my form, and
bind their data attributes directly to the corresponding entity
attributes. No errors, but no data being saved either. I tried this
first without the enctype set, then with it set to "multipart/form-
data". I also tried binding them to independent NSDatas as well, and
then using those to set the ones in the entity, but no luck. My next
step is to check the length of those NSDatas and see if the files are
being uploaded at all, but it's late and that will have to wait.
Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong here? I thought I read a
discussion of this not too long ago on one of the lists, but Google
isn't finding it for me.
thanks,
janine
