1. Re: Template for Upload Form
Sudarshan Thiagarajan Nov 21, 2012 7:22 PM (in response to FormUser)All sounds okay, but the bit where you want to upload the files onto box.com. Are you planning to integrate their API to get this done?

FormUser Nov 21, 2012 8:18 PM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)I don’t know how to answer your question, as I said I am not a programmer.
I need the functionality for my Dreamweaver site, googled, found out that some WordPress plug-ins have the functionality, and ask for the functionality in this Dreamweaver forum.

Sudarshan Thiagarajan Nov 21, 2012 9:30 PM (in response to FormUser)Peter,
What I meant was Box.com doesn't support direct uploads to their storage from webforms, unless otherwise you use their API - which is a piece of linkage code you have to get from their site in order to integrate your site to theirs, thereby being able to view/ download/ upload files to your account with them.
Take a look at this link: http://developers.blog.box.com/2011/09/28/using-the-box-api-with-javascript/
It explains how you can use Box.com API to be able to achieve what you want to achieve. It's pretty simple - but you need to have a fair bit of understanding of some code. Use the URL I've posted above and I'm sure it'll help you.

FormUser Nov 22, 2012 9:51 AM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)Well, the "pretty simple" is above my non-programmer head, at least for now.
Any chance for a pertinent 'Dreamweaver plug-in' ?

Sudarshan Thiagarajan Nov 22, 2012 8:19 PM (in response to John Waller)John, I thought of that but the OP specifically wants a 'Dreamweaver plug-in' as he says he's not a developer.

7. Re: Template for Upload Form
John Waller Nov 22, 2012 8:35 PM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)I got the impression that the OP just wants a point-and-click solution that works without any coding.
Don't think it's mandatory that it's a DW extension but I guess the OP can decide for him/herself.

Sudarshan Thiagarajan Nov 22, 2012 8:41 PM (in response to John Waller)Yes, he has mentioned in #4.
Nevertheless, I hope he finds jotform useful and is able to achieve what he wants to.
I guess he's the best judge here!

Yes, I see that in #4 and a DW extension is one option, of course. But I don't know of any specifically for this application.
I just didn't restrict the possible solutions to only DW Extensions.
There are others such as Jotform.

11. Re: Template for Upload Form
FormUser Nov 23, 2012 6:37 AM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)Guys,
I am grateful to both of you. I tried jotform.com and it works, hooray! I can put a form on a page of my Dreamweaver site, a visitor can upload a file, and the file appears in my dropbox.com folder.
That’s not the end of it, though. The file gets routed via a third party that jotform.com is, and I would prefer to have the file go directly to dropbox.com
In other words, I would prefer a ‘Dreamweaver plug-in’ that has yet to be developed.
But for now I do have a workable solution, albeit not a perfect one, and once again, I am grateful to both of you!
