Scriptcase 7 - API for Front-end :)

Developers Programming
#1

Hi,

Scriptcase is mindblowing for backend development. I am very happy with it for far. Currently, the
application I am developing also has a front-end, and I would like to use some of Scriptcase’s functionalities.

Here is how my current project is setup.

/project/admin
/project/index.php

Basically the admin folder is where the Scriptcase applications (deployment) are hosted. And the index.php file is the
custom front-end. In the front-end I want to be able to to:

  1. Reference the database config file so I can connect to the database and perform queries.
  2. Get the actual uploaded file name. For example, when you upload a file via Scriptcase, the file name is changed
    to sc_#####_originalname.doc. But on the database it is still recorded as originalname.doc. So, I want to be able to
    reference the actual file path/name. How do I do that?

Any ideas?

ad 1: this is not possible afaik as the settings are done by a separate program in production which you need to run first.
ad 2: it’s odd that the filenames are changed. Will look into that, haven’t noticed that before. Search here for the posts of ‘rr’ for this matter, there’s a lot to be said about the upload. He’s made a great post regarding this.

mm, couldn’t find it that fast, but if you list all the post of rr you should be able to find it.
