Hi there,

I was wondering if it’s possible to associate an image with a news article ie having an upload form in the template for the user to upload an image that is associated with a news story?

Thanks in advance,

Sarah

Thank you for that.

I’ve made a TV called ArticleImage.

I want the user to be able to upload a file from their desktop to be associated with the news article.

Do I need a file TV? I made one called ArticleAttach.

How do I put this in my template for the form the user uses to post news articles?

How do I output this image with the news article when the article is viewed?

Any help would be great!

:) Sarah

Hi Ganesh,

This is what I have for my chunk and it still isn’t working.

<div id="blogForm">
<form name="NewsPublisher" method="post" action="[~[*id*]~]">
<fieldset>
<h3>Publishing Details</h3>
<input name="NewsPublisherForm" type="hidden" value="on" />
<label for="pagetitle">Page title <abbr title="The title used on the browser window">?</abbr>: <input name="pagetitle" id="pagetitle" type="text" size="40" value="[+pagetitle+]" /></label>
<label for="longtitle">Headline <abbr title="The title used on the article">?</abbr>: <input name="longtitle" id="longtitle" type="text" size="40" value="[+longtitle+]" /></label>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<h3>The Content</h3>
<p>The Summary field is optional, but is used as a short version for RSS feeds and summary views on the main article page.</p>
<label for="introtext">Summary (optional, but encouraged):<br><textarea name="introtext" cols="50" rows="5">[+introtext+]</textarea></label>
<label for="content">Content:[*blogContent*][+content+]</label>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
[*ArticleImage*]
<!--p>[[tagLinks?  &id=`[+id+]` &tv=`tags` &separator=`, ` &label=`Tags: `]]</p -->

<h3>You're Done</h3>
<input name="send" type="submit" value="Post it!" class="button" />
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>

Thanks so much for your help.

Sarah
