PHP mistake

header("Content-Type: $this->filetype");

should be

header("Content-Type: " . $this->filetype);

Yep that's what I did in the end, worked exceptionally well.

That's not a Joomla component so you'd have to do a lot of coding to get it integrated with Joomla. This one is already made for Joomla: m Not a 'lot' of coding, but some coding. Given that this is the coding section, not the extensions section, I would think this is where people come to learn how ...

I'll be dealing with this issue soon enough myself.

I'll be interested to see how you go.

It would be nice to have a 100% internal Joomla solution, but it was sending the html header that stumped me here, easier just to do it the 'old' way. do you use JDocument HTML or JDocument RAW ? The latter has a method called setMimeEncoding(). m Just a thought. Have fun, CirTap Interesting, but w...

OK, and another question more or less in the same direction: I try to add a link to he main menu using the add menu item dialog. This link supposed to point to the create view of of my component xyz.

Hi, just for the records... The Framework equivalent of   $_FILES['hotbit_image'] is   JRequest:: getVar ( 'hotbit_image', '', 'files' , 'array' ); another good example of how this is used can be found in the upload facility of the Media Manager   /administrator/components/com_media/...

Fixed :-) fread was patently the wrong tool for the job, plus I had some variables wrong. Fixed Code for interests sake: $fileName = $_FILES['hotbit_image']['name']; $tmpName  = $_FILES['hotbit_image']['tmp_name']; $fileSize = $_FILES['hotbit_image']['size']; $fileType = $_FILES['hotbit_image']...

I might be missing something here, but does anyone know how I use the JRequest to get binary data uplaoded through a form?

i.e. among other things the user is picking a file name and then this is being posted to the server.

Not much I'm doing seems to work, but it does update the record 

Thanks for the tips, I'l be sure to look into these when I get a chance this evening.

Yallah! I could see this being very useful as it evolves! Please please please keep it up... your work for the community will bring you immeasurable karma.

Firstly, hi there, I discovered the forum and hopefully I can both contribute and learn a lot about developing for Joomla. Right now... I need to learn a lot  :-\ Background I am part of a small team developing a website which is both a directory site and ultimately a review site, which will pr...
