Create a file to get the image data and serve it up.  I called it – imaginably enough – image.cfm and it looks like this…

<cf query datasource=”" name=”rsGetImage” result=”tmp”>
SELECT  image1
FROM images
WHERE mls_no = #url.mls#
</cf query>

<!— Need to have these two lines, you only want the image to be streamed back to your display page and not any other text. —>
<cf setting enablecfoutputonly=”Yes”>
<cf setting showdebugoutput=”No”>

<cf header name=”content-disposition”
value=”Inline;filename=#url.mls#.jpg”>

<cfcontent type=”image/jpg; charset=iso-8859-1″ variable=”#rsGetImage.image1#”>
<!— This tells the page to export in jpg format. —>

Don’t ask me how that works – I don’t quite know yet.  But I am going to look into it for sure.  If you know – please tell me.   Although there was a difference in Ben’s Post and the forum post.  The forum post added an extra line in this code that would not work for me.  Supposedly this guy wanted me to cfoutput the data as a string????

<cf output> #tostring(tobinary(rsGetImage.image1))#</cf output>

I don’t know how that worked for him – but it certainly didn’t for me.  Maybe it was because I am pulling from a db NOT on my domain?  I dunno.

Ok so that is how to retrieve the image – now to serve it up.  That was AMAZINGLY SIMPLE.  It reads awfully familiar – you will recognize it in a heart beat…

<cf output><img src=”image.cfm?mls=100307″ border=”0″ width=”144″height=”180″></cf output>

Now what I would like to do is put that whole thing into a custom tag or cfc.  something like ..

<cfoutput><img src=”app.gadget.getimage(’100307′)” border=”0″ width=”144″height=”180″></cfoutput>

But that is for another day when I am not on a deadline.

God Bless All.  I hope this helps some.

Here is the code -

<cffunction name="showState" hint="I show the state select box" returntype="string" output="yes">
<cfargument name="sState" hint="selected state" default="">
<cfargument name="name" hint="select field name" default="caucus_State">
 <cfset var out = ''>
 <cfsavecontent variable="out">
 <select name="#arguments.name#">
 <cfloop query="rsGetStates">
 <option value="#state_Name#" <cfif arguments.sState EQ state_Name>selected</cfif>>#state_Name#</option>
 </cfloop>
 </select>
 </cfsavecontent>
 <cfreturn out >
</cffunction>

<cfoutput query="rsCaucusList">
  <td>#CurrentRow#. <input type="hidden" name="caucus_id#CurrentRow#" value="#rsCaucusList.caucus_ID#">
<cfinput name="caucus_name#CurrentRow#" required="yes" message="A caucus name is required for member #CurrentRow#" type="text" value="#rsCaucusList.caucus_Name#"></td>
<td align="center">#showState(rsCaucusList.caucus_state,'caucus_State#CurrentRow#')#</td>
</cfoutput>
asd

here is what is WRONG…

When the form is rendered – the currentRow variable  seems to merge .  I get the following dump..

You will note there are only two causus IDs, and caucus names – 0 and 1.  Then there is only 1 link, 1 sortorder, and 2 states.  Does

Does anyone get it?  I am STUMPED!!

However a little bit of digging into the docs tells us this :  ( Paypal Integration center – Developer – How To – HTML – Website Payments Standard – Standard Variable Reference)

on1:
Second option field name and label. The os1 variable contains the corresponding value for this option field. For example, if on1 is color then os1 could be blue.
You can specify a maximum of 7 option field names (6 with Subscribe buttons) by incrementing the option name index (on0 through on6).

Did you catch that?   Let me repeat it for you -

You can specify a maximum of 7 option field names (6 with Subscribe buttons) by incrementing the option name index (on0 through on6).

All well and good but how do you use it right?  Simple – add some new fields to your submit form like this…

<input type=”hidden” name=”on0″ value=”How Cool is this option?”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”on1″ value=”Do you really feel that way?”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”on2″ value=”YourName”>
<input type=”text” name=”os0″ maxlength=”60″ size=”5″>
<input type=”text” name=”os1″ maxlength=”60″ size=”5″>
<input type=”text” name=”os2″ maxlength=”60″ size=”5″>

So what does it do for you?  Simple really – it allows you to collect a few more items in the actual paypal transaction instead of processing those items separately.
