Defaulting to database value on product update

Defaulting to database value on product update

How can I get the product update page to display the value already in the database? Right now it comes up as blank and when submitted wipes out the thumbnail information. Here is what I have the value set to on the upload file field.

<?php echo(str_replace('"', '"', $row_WADAitems['ItemThumb'])); ?>

Are you trying to do this in a file input field? If so, it isn't possible. the code you have should work to display the information on the page.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

So since this is a file field for an image update there is no way to default to what currently exists and someone will always have to re-upload the image? I suppose I could remove the image updates from this page and add a separate page for only updating the picture.

No, just set the default value in the upload server behavior to be the value from the recordset. This way if nothing is uploaded it will use the current value from the database.
