CffileUpload + cffile.clientDirectory

[Sree_Viji]

I am new to coldfusion. I am using coldfusion-10. I am trying to upload multiple image files using cffileupload. I am able to upload files as expected. But I would like to get the metadata before uploading and get the clientFileDirectory of the uploaded files. PFB code

fileupload.cfm

<cffileupload  name = "uploadDemo"  url="uploadSelectedFiles.cfm"  progressbar="true"  addButtonLabel = "Select File(s)"  clearButtonLabel = "Clear"  width="500"  height="400"  title="Choose Files To Upload"  maxUploadSize="1"  maxFileSelect="10"  extensionfilter="*.gif,*.jpg,*.png,*.doc"  uploadButtonLabel="Upload"  onComplete="previewfile"  >  

uploadSelectedFiles.cfm

<cffile action="uploadall" destination="#expandpath('.')#"  nameconflict="makeUnique" result="uploadResult" />  <cfoutput>try</cfoutput>  <cfdump var="#cffile#">  

But cffile.clientDirectory throws an Status code :500 (unable to upload files too....).One more info, I am not able to view the 'try' string output in the main page (file upload page). Please help...I am posting this afresh to draw more attention and get quicker reply.

There are 2 things: the 500 error and the display of 'try'. I suspect the error is caused by the attribute onComplete="previewfile". The Javascript it points to may have an error. Remove the attribute, and see what happens.

To print the string, enclose it with the # symbol, as follows:

<cfoutput>#try#</cfoutput>

Hi BKBK,

Thank you so much for the reply. I removed the onComplete="previewfile" and the error 500 disappears now.

I am looking for cffile.clientDirectory information, but unable to get it.PLEASE HELP....I am in dire need of that info. I am not getting it for any uploaded file. PFB my trials.

I tried

    <cfoutput>#try#</cfoutput>.

Nothing is displayed yet and it gives status 500 error (because try is not defined anywhere). I tried 

    <cfoutput>#uploadFolderPath#</cfoutput>,

no error, no display (or output too). Nevermind, that's not very important.

I tried

    <cfdump    var="#uploadResult#"    label="Upload Meta Data"    output="#expandPath( './log.txt' )#"    format="text"    />

and the logs are available now. I am fine with it.
