Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
A quick question… Are there any known issues to take into account when using this plugin together with Gerhard’s glz_custom_fields?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_file: Associate single or multiple files with an article.
Thought I’d post it in this forum because I am using upm_file. However, if it doesn’t belong here, I will post somewhere else.
I am trying to figure out a way to display a thumbnail preview (not an icon) on-the-fly of the first page of pdf files in my upm file list for an article. I found some php that might be able to take a file and use image magick to make it into a jpg. My main question here is, how do I pick out each file name using php $GLOBALS?
I will be using this code in my files form and, since it will be inside <txp:php> tags, I can’t use <txp:file_download_name /> to get the name of the file. Thanks in advance for any hints or suggestions!
<txp:php>
$file = $GLOBALS ???how to get the filename here???
the rest of the code here for converting to a jpg thumbnail...

I can’t use <txp:file_download_name /> to get the name of the file.
Why not? If you are inside a file_download_list form, or something that will serve for it, and inside txp:php tags, file_download_name(); should return that name. If you are not inside a file list form and function there won’t be any dynamic source for that value however.

Thanks rsilletti, I didn’t realize it was that simple. I will give it a try!

This is true if you use the default custom fields (1 to 10).
Can be fixed?

Hi,
actually you are perfectly right: if you use a cf beyond 10 upm_file won’t work.
I myself had this issue once and I had to change the ‘files’ cf to one below 10.
It was a nightmare ;-)
…but this solved the question.

wornout, almost at the bottom of the file there’s an array, around line 536. Try adding your cf’s no. and see if it breaks anything.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links
