have customer upload image for customization?

[Ajeh]

If you want the customer to be able to do an Upload then you want to set the Option Name type as a File ... and when adding the Attribute pick the Option Name that you made and the TEXT [RESERVED FOR TEXT/FILES ONLY ATTRIBUTES] ...

Doh! , I miss-read your original instructions and created an option name of File instead of using File as the option type.

I was wondering why does zencart rename the uploaded file? Im trying to set up an upload area as well, and since im have the customer upload media files such as MP3 and WAV they need to be in ZIP format. When I test out the function it renames the ZIP file to a number like 1.zip.

Is there any way to maintain the name of the zip file the customer has labeled it?
In the shopping cart details it states the correct name of the file, but not in the uploads directory.

Fred and Harry want to upload the file:
TheWayWeWere.mp3

Somebody is going to get overwritten ...

So ... the files are renamed by number.ext and reference the original filename in the database and on the order ...

Hi again

Is there an easy way to replace the upload button with one of my own that matches the site scheme?

Sorry - I mean the 'browse' button

Hi linda,

Is it possible to add the order number in the renamed image file? Like 24333_1.jpg. After we download and process the file, it's hard to find which order it belongs.

Also, I tried to download the file from store front: http://www.mystore.com/store/images/uploads/1.jpg

But got
403 Permission Denied

You do not have permission for this request.

What I need to do so our employee can download this file directly (no ftp needed)?

Thanks a lot.

Not without a lot of customization ... the upload is done before the order is created so the new file name is already generated ...

You would need to customize an additional routine to take the uploaded file and rename it again after the order is made ...

I do the same thing and found this very useful:
