Is there a way to use a SafeCracker-(Edit-)Form (in combination with the SafeCracker File-Field) to edit a entry AND it’s file?

Right now, if I use a SafeCracker-Form with a SafeCracker-File-Field, the file-field is empty (means, it does not contain the URI to the already uploaded field), if I submit the Form without re-selecting the file, the file-field get’s overwritten â?¦Â is there a way to use the form with something like «value=“custom_field_title”» for file-field-inputs? Or how should I else use a SafeCracker-Form to edit an Entry that contains Files?

here it is (simplified)

{exp:safecracker channel='downloads-osx' return='admin/downloads/success' entry_id='{segment_4}'}
<fieldset>
    <h2><label for="title">Name der OS-X-App&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Nur Name, ohne Version o. &Auml;.</em></label></h2>
    <p><input type="text" id="title" name="title" class="medium" value="{title}" placeholder="z.B. Â«macprime»" /></p>
</fieldset>
â?¦
<fieldset>
    <h2><label for="osx-icon">Icon&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>optimal: 512x512 Pixel</em></label></h2>
    <p><input type="file" id="osx-icon" name="osx-icon" ></p>
    <h2><label for="osx-screens">Screenshot</label></h2>
    <p><input type="file" id="osx-screens" name="osx-screens" ></p>
</fieldset>
<p class="buttons"><button name="submit" class="gorgeous">OS-X-App {if segment_4 == ''}eröffnen{if:else}aktualisieren{/if}</button></p>

The true, supported way is to use the {field:your_field_name} tag. That will print out the file field, and a thumbnail if one exists. It will also print out all the necessary Javascript.

But will {field:your_field_name} not use the standard-ee-field-upload-nightmare where you have all this ***-JavaScript-Form with a dropdown of all (!!!) your upload-dirs etc.? â?¦Â that’s not really user-friendly â?¦Â and what about SafeCracker-Field (the KISS-file-upload-solution). hmmm

No, no, it’s not the full file manager. Take a look at your channel in the CP. You can see what the field output looks like there. It’s just a file form input and a thumbnail, and a remove upload button. Really slick.

wohooo! Sorry, my bad! Didn’t changed the field-type on my quick-and-dirty example form from «(EE)File» to «SafeCracker File»!

YEAH! Thx, Rob! Once again: I LOVE SafeCracker! :-D
