Hello,

I was hoping some of you who know this CF game might narrow down some possibilities for me. Now, just to get an idea the site is using CF 5 Enterprise, MS SQL and IIS.

The site was built so that individuals can upload random pictures. The problem is, sometimes these pictures aren't displaying on screen. Instead there is a "../images/blankPic.gif" in it's place or something.

1. When the pics are uploaded originally, are they being uploaded to an actual MS SQL table or a reference URL?

2. What could be some reasons for their pics not showing up in the proper spots?

3. In the HTML, where I see this, src="../images/blankPic.gif" --> I was expecting to see some <cfoutput> or .cfm file extension (that being the source where the images were to be uploaded...but nothing is there?) Just <!-- 02 Open --> ...image ...<!-- 02 Close -->. What file type should I be looking for when I'm searching for the source of an image that was uploaded and trying to be displayed.

ANY insights would be most appreciated...

Best

Pics are usually uploaded as is, that is, the file is just copied from the user's computer to the server. So if you upload the files "images", you would access them on the page with "images/imageName.gif" for the <img> src.

The images are uploaded using a .cfm file, which no doubt has a <cffile> tag. Check out this file to see the code and where the images are being uploaded. This is usually the file which the form with the "browse..." field points to.
