The release notes for Assets 2 says "Added support for simple HTML file field uploads via SafeCracker".
Does anyone have any example template code of how this should work, including how to remove the file if necessary? I can't see anything in the docs.
If you have an Assets field called “article_images”, you can create a simple HTML upload input like so:
<input type="file" name="article_images">
<input type="hidden" name="article_images_filedir" value="1">
The first input is the actual File input, and the second tells Assets which upload directory to place it in.
In time, Assets will also support the multiple="multiple" attribute on the File input, for uploading multiple files at once, but for that we need a small SafeCracker patch to make it to an official EE release.
<input type="hidden" name="article_images" value="NULL" /> <input type="file" name="article_images" /> <input type="hidden" name="article_images_filedir" value="1" /> I borrowed that first hidden field code from Safecracker and it now works. I'm not sure if it's down to something EL changed recently.
