[solved] file upload - help to show filename/thumbnail

Hi I have products that users need to upload a file or small image to on the the product page and then order.

The only problem is when you upload an image and click ok you're back on the product page which doesn't show what you have uploaded or a filename etc so it can be confusing.

Is there a way that I can display the successfully uploaded image filenames next to the upload boxes on my product template page in the options section?

Thanks for any help, I think someone was trying this or similar here: http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=56460 - but they haven't replied to the thread in a while and I'm not sure they wanted the same end result.

Thanks again

Hi thanks.

I'm already using the functionality of a file option for the upload and it uploads ok on the product page. I don't need to do this at checkout, just with the product options which seems to be working fine. I just need to show the filename next to the upload to confirm it...

thanks again if anyone can help with this.

Would be nice for some support here. He isnt the only one wanting a fix or a workaround for this.

Its such a shame as the product is brilliant, but have noticed there is a lot of support that goes unanswered...... this is CRUCIAL for users and developers alike to help each other out and make the product even better.

It even puts people off when they soon realise, support seems to be lacking.

However..... I will say, you're all doing a great job for a great product.... please if you have time, users need a bit of help now and then.

Thanks

Does it not already give you an alert (success message) telling you that it was succesful?

Yes sorry, my fault.

But would be nice to see a thumbnail of the image file thats been uploaded just for a "good feel factor" and confirmation the customer is happy that they selected the correct file to upload.

Is this possible to do?

Certainly. For 1.5.4.1, Open product.tpl and find this code: Right beneath it add this:
Now find this line: Below it add this: And lastly find this: Below it add this: If you want something fancier then you have the code to go to town with it.

Thank you very much.

That worked brilliantly..... very much appreciated

I've already solved ....
instead of i write and instead of i write

the first code block worked great on 1.5.6.1 but will the info appear on the order email notification?

Ive tried applying this to my 2.0.1.1 build, but unfortunately they tweaked the ajax code a little so it doesnt seem to work. Any chance of taking a crack at 2.0.1.1 to make it do the same stuff?

Can someone help with OC2 method please?
