Display filename from a SuperContainer field

[Dr. Zathras]

Is there a method to automatically calculate the name of a file in a SuperContainer field and have it displayed in a text field? I have a feeling that the SCGetInfo plugin should be involved, but its use seems to be restricted to scripts and I cannot figure out how to use it in a calculation field.

Many thanks.

Yes if you create an unstored calc that is:

Let ( [



base = SCSetBaseURL("http://localhost:8020/SuperContainer/Files");

sc = SCGetInfo("/photos/12345" )

 

] ;



GetValue ( sc ; 1 )



)

Beautiful - works like a charm!

Many thanks for the help.

Is there any way to display the FileName, with the applet ( drag & drop ), but without the plugin?

if I specify "noapplet" I can display title and info

but if the applet is used, no info is displayed

might I need to put two web viewers on the layout, one applet, and one noapplet?

thanks,

greg

You can get the filename even easier than that. Just make an unstorecd calc field that is SCGetInfo("/photos/12345") and it will work if you call SCSetBaseURL in your startup script (which I recommend doing).

The applet won't show the file name currently, so I recommend using scgetinfo to get the filename and information in a field on your layout.
