On file / download field - show orig. name not actual was created by jeffhoneyager

Added a field type file.

When adding new item, and selecting a file, the Original File Name is inserted not the actual file name.

How do I change this to show the actual file name?

Purpose: I want to show a MSWord document preview in a tab using a document viewer plugin ...

{aridoc engine="google" width="550" height="450"}documents/my_doc.doc{/aridoc}

It works great if I use a text field, but for data entry (mass quantities) it is going to be cumbersome.

Hello

that is only for ITEM-FORM display !

- what is actually inserted in the form and allowed to be saved is the FILE ID (s)

inside you FLEXIcontent template

ITEM view: items(_htm5).php
CATEGORY-like views: category_items(_html5).php

you can use:

Code:

$html = FlexicontentFields::getFieldDisplay
 (
  $item, 'fieldname', null, 'display', 'item'
 );
 
// AND USE:
echo $html;
// OR USE:
echo $item->fields['fieldname']->display;
 
// AFTER CALLING getFieldDisplay(), you can also use these arrays
print_r($item->fields['fieldname']->filedata); // e.g. size, absolute paths, etc
print_r($item->fields['fieldname']->url]); // file urls
print_r($item->fields['fieldname']->abspath]); // file absolute pats

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
