I am trying to create a page that lets a user delete an image

  • 0

I am trying to create a page that lets a user delete an image if he is logged in. I pass the image ID through the URL when the button is clicked. The problem is it does catch the image ID but when I click delete it passes the value of the button to the URL instead of the image ID. It looks like user_acc_images.cfm?delete=Delete instead of user_acc_images.cfm?uploaded_image_id=1 in the browser.

Here’s my code:

<cfif isdefined('session.username')> <cfoutput><h3 class='uname'>Hello #session.username# </h3></cfoutput></cfif>  <h2>Your Uploaded Images</h2>  <p>On this page you can view the list of all the images you uploaded.You can also delete some of your photographs if you wish.</p>       <table cellspacing='25'>          <cfif isDefined('session.username')>     <cfinvoke component='cfc.user_acc_images' method='viewimages' returnvariable='vimages'>         <cfoutput query='vimages'>            <tr>            <cfform name='formurl' action='http://www.humbermedia3.ca/portfolio0809/farnauz/AcePhotographyMain/user_acc_images.cfm?uploaded_photo_id=#uploaded_photo_id#' method='get'>              <td align='left'>                 <img src='#uploaded_photo_name#' name='photo_name' width='200' height='200'/>                 </td></tr><tr><td>                 <b>Uploaded on: </b>#upload_date# <br/><br/>                 <!---<button type='submit' name='delete' value='Delete' class='button' >--->                 <input type='submit' name='delete' value='Delete' class='button' />                 <br/><br /><hr/>             </td>              </tr></cfform>           </cfoutput>      </table>  <cfelse>     <cfoutput>           <h3>Sorry you cannot access this page.<h3>             <p>                 You have to be logged in to view your uploaded images.<br/><br/>                 Click<a href='login.cfm'> here </a>to log in.<br/>                 Dont have an account? Click<a href='register.cfm'> here </a>to create a new account.             </p>     </cfoutput> </cfif>  <cfif isDefined('form.delete')>     <cfinvoke component='cfc.user_acc_images' method='deleteimage' returnvariable='dimage'>     <cfinvokeargument name='url' value='#URL.uploaded_photo_id#'>     <cfoutput>#URL.uploaded_photo_id#</cfoutput> </cfif>

  1. Paolo is right, but I would also add that the reason you are having this trouble is because when you do a form GET any url variables in the action url are not passed along. His solution is best but you could also change it to a form post and then the url variables you are passing through the action attribute will be passed through.
