I have added a field {CATPHOTOATTACH}. I have this within my other sites and it has always worked fine. However, I can't seem to attach an image on this site. I edit a category, go to the field and browse, select the image and then save changes. Only it doesn't attach the image. I have in my customcat.tpl.... <input type="file" name="Photoattach" ><br > {CATPHOTOATTACHTITLE} ({CATPHOTOATTACHNAME}) <br > <input type="checkbox" name="photoattachdelete" value="1"> Delete Photo The image does not show in the cat and when I go back into edit {CATPHOTOATTACHTITLE} and ({CATPHOTOATTACHNAME}) are both empty. No error messages are given and it looks as thought it saves correctly.

Best to always keep field names lowercase, a mixed case field could be problematic. I believe it automatically lowercases when you add it anyway.

That's the trouble with being a touch typist. It has now attached ok, but is not displaying (http://freewebbargains.com/retailers/majestic-wine/), instead I just get: 120x60_logo2e8e.wsn[,]120x60_logo.gif[,]0[,]120[,]60 I currently have: <IF {CATPHOTOATTACH}>{CATPHOTOATTACH}<br ><br ></IF> but also tried: <IF {CATPHOTOATTACHBOOL}>{CATPHOTOATTACH}<br ><br ></IF>

{CATPHOTOATTACH} isn't supposed to display anything meaningful, see the documentation: http://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/wsnmanu... . You probably want <img src="download.php?catid={CATID}&field=photoattach" alt="" /> Edited by Paul on 11/14/07 - 12:35 AM
