I apologise now if I have missed something from the tutorials.

I am constructing a page that uploads four images and they all need to be renamed. I am using a UserID and I want to add numbers in sequence at the end to make each name unique i.e. Myfile_333_1.gif Myfile_333_2.gif etc. I cannot do this using the extension.

Can you help?

Thanks

Stewart

Are you trying to pull the UserID from the database to rename the file?

The record needs to be saved first and the renaming is done before the record is saved in the database.

Martha Graham

The UserID is taken from a recordset when the page is opened, into a hidden field. Then it is used to construct the name of the image.
The present string for the naming is:
RUF_renameMask = "hr_" & UploadFormRequest("UserID" & ".##ext##" (this is without any sequential numbering)

Stewart

Well this should work. Are you getting any errors? or isn't the renaming done right?

Hi George

Yes, it does work, but not with four images uploaded. I get the following error message. I have tried using the 'make unique' facility, but I still get the same message.

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A003A)
File already exists
/4uGroup/ScriptLibrary/incPUAddOn.asp, line 122

The first image is renamed as the string indicated previously, but the rest are just uploaded with the original name (i.e. image_1.gif, image_2.gif, image_3.gif and image_4.gif upload as hr_333.gif, image_2.gif, image_3.gif and image_4.gif) and no information is inserted into the database (I know this will not happen until it can get past the upload sequence).

Stewart

Are you setting the conflict handling to make unique? In the Pure ASP Upload extension?

Martha

Yes I am, but I still get the same error message.

Stewart

well unfortunately the Rename extension does not handle also filename resolution - ie making the names also unique.

So if the new filename that is generated - already exists - you will get an error ...

We just don't have this feature in current Rename extension.
We will add it in the next version however. But it might take a while.

Greetings,
George
