Default Image

Hi SC,

I have a form from user_profile table in database with ID and image column. I create a form with image is set to be Image (File Name) for user to upload their image. I need to put some default image in the form, what is the best way to do so? Kindly advise…

My quicky (untested) solution:
1: decide for a path where to put your image. Say it is …/www/myapp/documents
Place a default image there, e.g. default.jpg and write protect default.jpg so that it can not be overwritten or deleted.
When you create the new record in your scriptcase simply set the field to default.jpg

Once someone uploads a new image it will be another filename.

2: be very aware that you use ADVANCED DEPLOYMENT with the correct paths once you use the image (file name).
