Is it possible getting this working with a SAEF?

Game. Over.

Epic Victory. This extension combo will reinvent how I use ExpressionEngine.

Not sure if I am just being simple but when I use this I get the following output -

a:1:{s:9:"file_name";s:14:"e-brochure.pdf";}

Using this code -

<a href="http://{tutorials_file}">{tutorials_file}</a>

I get a similar output, can anyone post some code how to convert/format that into html?

Mine was because I was using a plugin to pull out the contents. I just used the standard file upload feature. Not as good but I don’t have time to spare on this.

I presume {tutorials_file} is your main “Field Name”.

Try using “Col Name” that you’ve put in with the “Matrix Configuration” so, it should be {file_name} instead e.g.

<a href="http://{file_name}">{file_name}</a>

Also If you upload more than one file you can wrap it around the main field name

{tutorials_file}
<a href="http://{file_name}">{file_name}</a>
{/tutorials_file}

Thanks Cem. Where the hell is this information in the docs?

I know, it’s not easy to find.

@mmjaeger Please PM me your environment details, EE version, PHP version, Linux or Windows server, and a description of how to recreate the issue.

@Cem Meric Please PM me with your environment details and if there’s a way to reproduce the problem every time.

@stinhambo The documentation you’re looking for is actually specific to FieldFrame and the FF Matrix type. link

Hi,

I’m sorry if I’m missing something completely obvious, but I’m getting a serialized array outputted when trying to use this as a single field (that is, not in a matrix).

My field name is multimedia_screenshot. My code (simplified) is:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="multimedia" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks" dynamic="off"}
<a href="#">{multimedia_screenshot}</a>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

This gets outputted between the anchors: a:1:{s:9:"file_name";s:13:"Picture_6.png";}

I’m on php5. Any idea what could be going wrong here?

Thanks for the great work, Matt

Edited because some of my code was getting dropped from the post….

slapshotw try this instead

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="multimedia" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks" dynamic="off"}

{multimedia_screenshot}

<a href="#">{file_name}</a>

{/multimedia_screenshot}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

I’ve put an example code here to show how it can be implemented

@slapshotw Could you post or PM me a screenshot of your custom field settings for this field?

slapshotw try this instead

Thanks– I try it the loop way and get this outputted:

{multimedia_screenshot}
<a href="#">{file_name}</a>
{/multimedia_screenshot}

Where is says “file_name” should be your sub custom field name. Referring to attachment I use

{exp:weblog:entries  weblog="weblog" limit="1"}

<ul>

{image}

 <li>
  {image_location}
 </li>

{/image}

</ul>

{/exp:weblog:entries}
