Hello,
I am currently having problems sending an e-mail via a button that attaches the document which was uploaded in the file upload component. Something like this:
If i directly use a onfileRevieve script on the file upload component everything works.
But i don’t know how to access the uploaded data in the fileUploadComponent through the button.
I had something in mind like following script for the button:
filePath = self.getSibling(“FileUpload”).event.file.name
if filePath != None:
fileName = self.getSibling(“FileUpload”).event.file.name
fileData = self.getSibling(“FileUpload”).event.file.getBytes()
smtp = “"
sender = ""
subject = “New ignition feedback”
body = self.getSibling(“TextArea”).props.text
recipients = ["********@******”]
system.net.sendEmail(smtp, sender, subject, body, 0, recipients, [fileName], [fileData])
I know that this doesn’t work but i hope it makes it a bit clearer to understand.
You’ll have to save the uploaded file in a temporary location, then retrieve it in the send button’s script. And have a mechanism to clean up the temporary location of abandoned uploads (never sent).
Hello, Could you please elaborate on this? I am new to scripting and am having a hard time to build this. When you say, save to a temporary location, is it the gateway that you are referring to? and what script do we use to retrieve and clean up? In my application, I have two buttons, one that allows me to attach file using "path = system.file.openFile()". I am not sure if I am approaching the issue in a right way. Kindly advice. Thank you.
Yes, all Perspective scripts run in the gateway, so the gateway is your only choice.
The simplest method is to use a gateway folder to hold these files, and remove them after the email is sent. Use a separate timer event to occasionally scan the folder for old files (by timestamp, perhaps) and delete them.
