File Upload Control

Harry_Huynh_(marcandev_-_(deleted))

Hi,I am creating a new simple node with it's own attributes. It requires the File Upload Control function. I've looked at the webdoc:document and the discussion:discussion items ospaces, as a reference, but am having difficulty incorporating the file control into my node. It seems that I'm doing a lot of extra work for nothing. Shouldn't there be an easier way of adding this feature, basically a boolean to turn on file uploads, or do I have to implement all the code for uploading the file, and attaching to the document etc...Is there any documentation on how to add different types of attributes to a new node? (ie. file control, dates, dropdown boxes) It would be nice if there was a reference on how to add these things.ThanksHH

I assume you are relatively new to Livelink. I've been working on it for just 4 months myself and I have come to realize the simple truth: everything in Livelink has to be hard-codes, there is no standard way of doing things. If you want to add a dropdown box for example, you must create a new node, probably by orphaning some other node, create a new html page, add a dropdown box using html code, then play with the node's LLNode so that the data from the box is stored in the nodes ExtendedData field, then do the same thing for retrieving the data and putting it in another new html page which will show it.Life is though with Livelink, but I may be wrong, so chech other replies too. For file uploading, I would orphan the document webnode and llnode and add any extra controls to that, again by creating custom html pages. Generaly you will have to look arround the sdk to find the right node to orphan.Good luck!Yiannos
