[SOLVED] Form: File Uploader Object

[AliGW]

I am using the File Uploader object from the Toolbox on my form. It works fine, but when I upload an image to my form, I get this:

Code: Select all

C:\fakepath\Impact of Coastal Erosion - Ali Wright.jpg

Any idea why it says 'fakepath'? Might be a bit disconcerting for my users seeing this!

Thank you.

This is standard browser behavior, it has nothing to do with WWB.

C:\fakepath\
is a security feature in modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) that hides your computer's actual file structure from websites. Instead of showing the true path (e.g., C:\Users\Name\Documents\file.pdf), the browser replaces it with this generic placeholder. It does not indicate an error, and the file will upload normally.

Thanks very much - I have never noticed it before! I'll look out for it. Usually when I upload files, I see only the file name in the upload window.

If you set the 'type' property to 'Bootstrap' then only the filename is displayed.

Ah, OK!

Unfortunately, I need to be able to customise the button.
