Anyone knows how I can pass a file id to server.

Vault
#1

When I add a file to Vault, I will know the a file id for the file with onFileAdd event handler.
I am wondering if I can pass the file id to serve in order to attach more information regarding the file.

Hi Andrei.
Actually, I want to send some unique information to server for each uploading file.
I use dhtmlxVault 2.4 Pro on Chrome 41

Thanks!!

Hi

the quickest way is the following trick
(take any demo, add missing code and you will see)

// init vault as usual myVault = new dhtmlXVaultObject(t); // change main upload function a bit myVault._doUploadFile2 = myVault._doUploadFile; myVault._doUploadFile = function(a){ // I not sure what exactly data from each file you need, blow is an example // console.log(this.file_data[a].name, this.file_data[a].size); // add extra data to url (I used dhx4.newId()) this.setURL(uploadUrl+"?random="+dhx4.newId()); // and call native code this._doUploadFile2.apply(this, arguments); }

Hi Andrei,
Thank you so much for your help…
It works well!!

Hi Andrei
When I encode it the value dhx4.newId() like encodeURIComponent(dhx4.newId()), the value gets bad unlike passing values as multipart/form-data.
Is there any way that I can pass extra params like below example as multipart/form-data when I upload a file?

example,
this.setURL(uploadUrl+"?random="+encodeURIComponent(dhx4.newId()))

Thank you!

Hi

You probably have to decode it on server side?
