The docs don’t mention how to code a form that allows uploading a file to a Matrix cell. How do you target say, the first cell if it’s called image and the Matrix field name is documents_download?

{exp:safecracker channel="portfolio" return="/admin/ENTRY_ID" entry_id="{segment_2}" preserve_checkboxes="yes" safecracker_head="yes"}

{!-- Matrix field with upload cell --}
{field:your_matrix_field_name}

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />

{/exp:safecracker} 

If you don’t want to show the entire matrix field… then it gets really complicated. Basically… each field type handles itself in the SAEF. So if you’re trying to just display one field in the matrix, you’ll find it rather difficult.

Hi Chris,

Thanks a bunch for the awesome add-on. Now I got my Matrix field showing up, but how can I make the file manager NOT display, or simply localize it to the user’s photos? Otherwise, when they go to add an image they see the entire library of photos.

This is the reason that we included SafeCracker file. The standard file manager field will always do this. You need to change the field type to SafeCracker file, or add a new file field that uses SafeCracker file.

Thanks Chris. I guess this means Matrix-type gallery may not be the right choice for a public guest to upload images?

Or, can the SafeCracker file be a cell within a Matrix field?

Yes, you can use SC File as a matrix cell.

Hmmm - how would you target just a cell within a Matrix? I think {field:matrix_cell} is a no-go. Thanks guys!

You cannot do that.
