I have a User that can have multiple images. I would like to allow the user to add images while updating their user page and have those images dynamically updated so that they can see the images on their profile as they edit it. I currently have the images set as sortable using jQuery-ui. I would like the user to be able to add images, sort them, and edit their profile info and only need to click the submit button once.
I know that it is not possible to nest remote=>true forms and do not believe it's possible to submit files via ajax. Is there some other way this can upload the files and then use jquery to append them back to my div?
Unfortunately, from a user experience standpoint, the image section makes the most since being pretty much in the middle of the form. Moving it to the top or below the original form is less than ideal. I might be able to use CSS to make the remote form appear as if it is middle of the parent form, but this seems like a pretty bad solution.

I've got an issue due to a timing issue with react-admin, that i'm looking for a little help on.
The situation is where user A creates a resource, and user B, on a different PC, then goes to list and edit that resource.
For user B, the list page loads the full dataset of 10 resources, then the edit page re-loads the single resource that is being edited.
However, the specific process on the edit page seems to be:
Render page
Render resource cached from the list page
Request the single resource from the API
Populate the edit form with the updated values from the API
Set the form to dirty
That last point is critical, since I have an action button that is only enabled if the form is pristine, so the user has to save any changes before triggering the action.
But in this case, the list view and the edit view seem to return the same data for the resource, so I'm not sure why the form is being set to dirty.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Andy
This isn't a complete answer, but I hope it helps you save some time. I recently upgraded React Admin version from 3.5.3 to 3.6.0. I noticed that the Save button is now sometimes disabled unexpectedly, and inconsistently. For example, I may navigate to the edit view of a resource by clicking a link and the Save button is enabled, but if I refresh the page, the Save button is disabled. Apparently, the Save button is supposed to be disabled when the form is pristine. So between 3.5.3 and 3.6.0, it seems that some changes were made to either the pristine handling or the Save button's reaction to pristine, and it is not working consistently.
I see there is a new issue opened three days ago regarding overriding the Save button behavior, wrt pristine. https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin/issues/4913 . So, it seems the dust hasn't settled on this behavior. Perhaps a bug will be found.
I have a .net website.
I need to disable the save as option from browser so that the user cant save some of the website pages in order to protect their content.I did disable right click.But user can select save as from browser's menu.
Is it possible to do that?
It is difficult to lock down a website by disabling the save button. What is to stop a user just copying the text and pasting to another document. Right clicking an image and saving. Then there are differences between browsers etc. If you need to protect you information you may need to look at creating and displaying PDFs but this is also not an easy thing especially if the site is dynamic.
What you want is impossible. If the user is able to read the information on his/her screen, there is always an option to copy the content.
How would you stop the user from taking a picture from his/her screen with a digital camera for example?
In one of my custom application user wants to keep EditForm.aspx open once list item is created and he can keep saving the same record without redirecting user to DisplayForm.aspx page.So what I'm doing after list item creation I'm loading EditForm.aspx again.
Now the problem is when form is opened in Edit mode and if existing field is modified that doesn't gets updated in the list item but if something new added to the field then it gets saved to the list. I believe it's postback issue but not sure how to pass latest form data upon save.
If this was my task, I would create a new application page that replaces the edit page on that list.
(You can use powershell / object model to set the url of the new / edit / display pages)
Ignoring the ribbon, the edit page is actually pretty simple. It shouldn't be too difficult to create a custom one, that has the submittal behavior you are interested in. Indeed, since you are keeping the exact same field names and input types, you may be able to simply inherit the default form in yours, and simply override the post call.
I suppose it might be possible instead for you to write some javascript to hijack the submit post of the default edit page, but this seems messy to me, and I probably wouldn't go that route.
If you don't need to complete this task today, I've been meaning to push to github some code I wrote a few months ago. That code is a custom aspx edit/new/display page that is extremely easy to customize / implement. I could forward you the link tonight when I get out of work.
I was thinking of implementing picture uploading to my web application.
Now there are few Uncertainties.It would be great if some one makes them clear.
How do you allow user to upload multiple data for
Example. I have a model for car and I want user to add as many pictures with comments. Usually on websites there is button that says "Add another picture". If user clicks that button or link a text field and a Browse button appears and user can add as many pictures as he wants.

I'm writing an intranet ASP.NET page using VB.NET. I've run into a particularly nasty problem dealing with handling file uploads. I'll do my best to explain the problem, and perhaps someone can help.
My problem is almost a duplicate of this one, or this one, except (other than the filename) I don't care about sending the file to the server until the other data has been reviewed.
Here's the situation:
Joe Q. Dataentry inputs some data into several fields. The first 3 are drop down, and when he changes the selection, a postback event is fired that queries a database for valid entries for the other drop down selections. After selecting the values, he inputs some other data, chooses a file to accompany the data and clicks the "Update" button. When he hits the button, it fires a postback event that sends the current data to the server to be validated. The data will create a change in the database, so he is presented with a view of the current state, and what it will look like when his changes are made. He can now either confirm or cancel the operation for whatever reason.
Part of the data he will see involves the extension of the file which may be a PDF, or could also be some image file or other document.
Now here's where my problem is - on each postback event, the fileupload dialog is cleared. I was getting around it by creating a temporary file on the first postback and then renaming if he clicks OK or deleting on Cancel... but I need to do a variety of things, based on the previous state of data and the filename. I've tried to keep some session variables to retain the filename, and that works OK for just renaming the file, but for what I need to do it gets unwieldy.
What I want to do is be able to have the postback event to present the changes, and then when the user clicks "OK", submit the file. Is there any possible way to do that?
One of my thoughts was to do some of the validation client-side (I'm already re-validating server side so I'm not too worried about data security there), but I don't know how I could get the information from the database query.
Thanks for any help, and reading my slightly convoluted story/situation!
EDIT:
It appears that what I want to do is prevent a certain button from firing a full postback. Is there any way to do that?
EDIT II:
I have an update panel on the page already - is there any way for the button to only post what's in the update panel?
What you might want to do is place your drop-downs inside of an ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel, and keep your file upload control out of that.
Your update panel will do the post backs and allow your validation logic to happen without submitting the file, then when you hit your final "Save" button (which is also outside of your UpdatePanel) the entire form will be submitted back and you can work with your file then.
