Passing TV value into FileUpload Call Parameter

    Hi All,

    I’m using FileUpload which is working fine, but I want to dynamicaly create a folder named the same as the logged in users id. If I hard code the path into the snippet parameter it works fine:
    [[!FileUpload?
    &uploadfields = `1` 
    &createpath = `Yes`
    &path=`assets/uploads/43/`   
]]


    To do it dynamically I tried testing it, before trying @EVAL in the TV, with a text TV hard coded with the path - ’assets/uploads/43/’: 
    [[!FileUpload?
    &uploadfields = `1` 
    &createpath = `Yes`
    &uploadtv = `ImageUpLoadTV`   
]]

    It doesn’t appear to be passing the value of the TV. I’ve tried "assets/uploads/43/" and ’assets/uploads/43/’ and assets/uploads/43/ as the TV value but still ignores the assinged value and uploads to the root directory.

    File upload seems to be working fine I suspect the problem is with how I’ve set up my TV - either that or its the damn coding goblins again rolleyes

    Any advice greatfully recieved.

    Thanks in advance smiley
