How are people sending any data/parameters along with S3 uploads to SC ?
The goal is to store more recognizable data alongside the file url. (page it was loaded from, user id, a description if entered by the user.
The uploader doesn't play nice with standard form inputs to submit other fields.
I have tried a couple of the workarounds mentioned in the below thread for altering the url with dmx-binds but no success.
It's been awhile, but I had to not only upload an image, I had to send it to an OCR company to read the image (it was a receipt for purchases).
This is what I did:
When user uploaded the image I created a DB record that corresponded to the imagename^.
On successful upload and DB record creation, I passed back the ID in the database, and updated the DB record to include the other data.
I allowed the user to enter any additional information for that image.
You could probably do something similar.
i.e. you're going to have to store the image name in your database along with other record information, as a simple image upload to SC isn't a great way to store meta data or other info
^ Image name = because i didn't want duplicates I would append the datetimestamp and a random number to the image name
@sophos707 Thanks very much. I found time to test it out and it is an acceptable workaround. timestamp+unique id passed back on upload and stored in tables after
