Can't remove "DescriptionsVisible" + need tips!

> I'm trying out the Demo and seem to get most of it working. However, I can't seem to be able to remove "DescriptionsVisible" just by editing parem to "False".

In Image Uploader 2.0 property DescriptionsVisible is renamed to ShowDescriptions:

> When changing the classid it can be removed, but then the ThreePanes does not seem to work. (I found two different here on the forums)

When you specify CLSID of the first version of Image Uploader, you get it working because property which enables/disables descriptions where called DescriptionsVisible indeed. But there where no Layout property at all.

> 1) Is there anyway the customers can choose which size and papertype they want?

You can add additional HTML form and specify its name in AdditionalFormName property. The form data will be uploaded along with files. See a code sample for Image Uploader (additional input field containing author name is sent there).

Please let me know if you have any problems with it.

> 2) Where can they type in their name and adress, and where do I find it when they uploaded the images (does it create a document?)

You can use the same approach as with size/paper type, however as usual it is implemented in another way. Before making an order user should register (or login if he is already registered). All the personal details are entered on the registration form. You just store it in database and retrieve just user ID instead of all the details.

> 3) Does it create a new folder for each upload?

Image Uploader is just client-side ActiveX control, it does not perform any actions on server. All the job is done by server script you submit files to. So if you need to create a new folder for each upload, change the script.

The code samples shipped with Image Uploader just delete previously uploaded files. I guess you need another behaviour which greatly depends on your site business logic. That's why treat code sample just as guidelines how to write such scripts.

> 4) More helpful tips (uploading etc, a workflow) for us that will help us choose and buy this program?

I recommend you to read Using Image Uploader section in our documentation for better understanding concepts of Image Uploader.

Please tell about your project more detailed so that I could give more thorough tip.

CREATE TABLE `file` (
  `FileName` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  `Width` int(11) default NULL,
  `Height` int(11) default NULL,
  `Description` varchar(255) default NULL,
  `Quantity1` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `Format1` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '10x15',
  `PaperType1` varchar(50) NOT NULL default 'Matte',
  `Quantity2` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `Format2` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '10x15',
  `PaperType2` varchar(50) NOT NULL default 'Matte',
  UNIQUE KEY `FileName` (`FileName`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

You can find sample script in attachments.

ImageUploader2_PHP_OrderPhoto.zip (6kb) downloaded 115 time(s).

I just downloaded your software, after reading this thread, I also downloaded php and mysql sample. I configured the mysql correctly but it does not seem to work I think because I have the latest (.cab)version. Is there anything I can do to get this sample to work.

but the remote server returned this error

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/abcderfg.com/httpdocs/phpactivex/PictureGallery.php on line 119

I changed the domain name I would like to keep this off till I am done with my project

thank you
