CFImage

[Keiko]

Dear all,

I need to create a module for user to upload an image file into our coldfusion server. But I need the image to be resized before it's saved/uploaded into our server.

Is it possible for user to pick the file (using <input type="file">) and let my module to resize it on the fly (memory level) and save the resized file into my server (one time uploading)?

From the given example by Adobe, the Source property is only applicable if we know the exact location, but not letting the file is picked by user (with <input type="file"> mechanism).

Looking forward for your replies.

Thanks in advance

if you need to resize the image BEFORE uploading, then you will have to:
a) resize it using an image-editing application
or
b) employ some java applet or activeX control on your page, which your
users will have to download and install - i do not know of any to
suggest, though

CF = server-side; users (and users selecting images to upload) = client-side

if i were you, i would probably look into utilising the CF8's
DirectoryWatcher Gateway, as explained by Ray Camden in his blog:
