Select a file from a directory

Post by RonP » 2014-09-01 15:11

Hi,
In one of my projects I register foto's. It would be need to have a "navigation" option in the field to go to a directory (like in explorer).
Now I first have to search for the right directory and copy the filename in de field.

Hi udayvatturi,
Thanks for reacting.
Ok. The point is this:

I have on my PC lots of photo’s. And I also have a database, maintained with an AppGini project. In one of the tables I register I link to a photo.
I should like to have a way to quickly navigate to the right directory.
In my opinion this would be the best like Windows explorer does.
Is this clear enough now?

the website is: http://www.shipphoto.nl
This is based on Access and I'm transforming this to Mysql

As per my understanding I don't think appgini can help you in this case.
Even slight modifications will also won't help you.

I recommend you to develop custom application as per your requirements.

Indeed AppGini doesn't support this .. You might find one of the following applications fulfilling your requirements:
eXtplorer: http://extplorer.sourceforge.net/
PHP File Manager: http://phpfm.sourceforge.net/
PHP File Navigator: http://pfn.sourceforge.net/
:idea: AppGini plugins to add more power to your apps:
  • DataTalk is an innovative AppGini plugin based on ChatGPT that allows you to interact with your AppGini database using natural language questions, without writing any SQL. Check the demo video
  • Mass Update plugin: Update multiple records at once and improve your workflow efficiency.
  • Check our other plugins and get a generous discount of up to 30% when buying 2 or more plugins.

Take a look at the linked information page :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8556 ... n-a-folder

There are some ways for you to record your file location / name using a special URL like notation which then goes and opens the location when clicked. You might be able to use something like this to get what you want.

Hope this helps.

HI,
All of you, thanks for pointing a way to get it done!
(I hope I will succeed because PHP reading is one, writing is something else).

Thanks again.

Ron
