File Uploader help needed

I have set up a "file uploader" as a product attribute. After having made a dummy purchase and uploaded a file with that product purchased, I look at my shopping cart and I can see the other attributes selected but I do not see anything that tells me (1) that there was a file uploaded (2) the name of the file, or (3) the location of the file that was uploaded to the server as part of the purchase.

How do I get these 3 pieces of info to show up in my shopping cart? I at least need the name of the file that the customer uploaded.

When creating the "file" box I can see where you set the length of the box, the number of charactres, etc but I do not see anything that defines the path to the location of the uploaded files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Re: File Uploader help needed

The file will be in your /images/uploads folder as long as the folder is "writable".
The filename should be listed in the order details when viewing the order in the admin area.

Re: File Uploader help needed

I'm banging my head here. I'm using the file uploader and when I upload a file, I get a message that the file has been uploaded successfully. The problem is that the uploaded image file isn't in images/uploads. I have the max file size set on the server to allow 100M file sizes. I have the max file upload size in the admin set to 100000000. The file I'm testing with is only 53kb. There should be a problem. The image file is set to 777, the upload file is set to 777. Still, I can't find the uploaded file. When I check the order summary, the file number is listed there, so something is going through. Where is the file going? Am I just missing something? The site can be viewed at www.visionsoncanvas.com/store. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: File Uploader help needed

Ok, I tried loading a virgin copy of zencart onto my server and added an upload feature the same way I have it set up through the current website - just to make sure I was doing it right. It worked perfectly. I found the uploaded images in the images/upload folder just like they were supposed to be. Any ideas why they're not showing up there when I upload images for the actual site. Where would they be going instead? They seem to be uploading - the reference number is there in the order report. I changed the custom template back to the default, but it had no effect. The images still didn't show up. I have several different attributes for each product. Could that effect the image upload?
