I have been following Alfresco Developer guide book to upload file in Webscripts framework. But I'm getting same error as mentioned above"ReferenceError: "formdata" is not defined. "
Please if anyone can help? + I'm not doing these customization using Alfresco explorer. Because i don't know fully in front-end where to do these customizations. I followed Company_Home > Data_Dictionary > Web Client Extension …
I don't know how to create these files in it?
I just made these files and pasted in
"jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\tmp\deploy\tmp28186alfresco-exp.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\webscripts" dir. Other applications i practiced worked fine but this is not working.
PLEASE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

PLEASE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

You're going to have to supply more information, such as the code you've put together to upload a file with.

hey,
im using .js file n code in it im using is here below

for each (field in formdata.fields) {
if (field.name == "name") {
model.name = field.value;
}
if (field.name == "file" && field.isFile) {
filename = field.filename;
content = field.content;
mimetype = field.mimetype;
}
}
var results = search.luceneSearch("+PATH:\"app:company_home/*\" +TYPE:\"cm:folder\" +@cm\\:name:\"Someco\"");
var targetFolder = results[0];
var newDoc = targetFolder.createFile(filename); newDoc.properties.content.write(content); newDoc.properties.content.mimetype = mimetype;
newDoc.save();

here above formdata is being used.
it also gives somtimes error that this targetfolder is undefined. I don't know what built in functions are using because im just following Developer guide book as practise for customization. And path "+PATH:\"app:company_home/*\" +TYPE:\"cm:folder\" +@cm\\:name:\"Someco\" i don't know about it much either If you can please help me?
Other freemarker template file codes are below here…

helloworld.get.html.ftl
<html>
<body>
<form action="${url.service}" method="post" enctype="multipart/
form-data" accept-charset="utf-8">
Name:<input name="name"><br />
File:<input type="file" name="file"><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go!">
</form>
</body>
</html>

helloworld.post.html.ftl
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello, ${args.name}!</p>
</body>
</html>

other two files are desc.xml files "helloworld.get.desc.xml" , "helloworld.post.desc.xml".
In post authentication is required but not in get. rest is same.
<webscript>
<shortname>Hello World Form Post</shortname>
<description>Hello world form post web script</description>
<url>/someco/helloworldform</url>
<authentication>admin</authentication>
<transaction>required</transaction>
</webscript>

If it sometimes gets to the line where the Lucene query is running, then the formdata object must have been parsed correctly in that instance. You need to make sure you've got the "Someco" folder immediately under Company Home.

Yes you are right there is no Someco folder and i don't know how to make this folder.
Yesterday I practiced wiki example for file uploading
"http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Web_Scripts_Examples#File_Upload"
It has little different code its working perfectly.
But I would like to know as asked before .. "developer guide book" gives error "formdata is undefined". This issue is not resolved.

for each (field in formdata.fields) {
if (field.name == "name") {
model.name = field.value;
}
if (field.name == "file" && field.isFile) {
filename = field.filename;
content = field.content;
mimetype = field.mimetype;
}
}
var results = search.luceneSearch("+PATH:\"app:company_home/*\" +TYPE:\"cm:folder\" +@cm\\:name:\"Someco\"");
var targetFolder = results[0];
var newDoc = targetFolder.createFile(filename); newDoc.properties.content.write(content); newDoc.properties.content.mimetype = mimetype;
newDoc.save();

Can you please tell this?

PLEASE I'LL BE VERY VERY THANKFUL TO YOU! I want to complete it as soon as possible.

Thanks. That helped me investigate a problem I am having calling this Web Script from Ruby on Rails (not a browser).
