    ItemID - usage in upload method

    Hi all,

    it would be great if the upload method was enhanced with the ItemID as part of the response, i.e.  and additional GET parameter to the current NVX.returnCode and NVX.errorMessage.

    My process currently looks like this:

    1. HTTP upload from browser
    2. Callback URL performs operations on the uplaoded file (db entry including ItemID via getpathinfo method, etc)
    3. forwardingURL shows success/failure page to user
    4. User goes to the file list page
    5. User finds the file and edits the file info (metadata, tags)

    The issue is that on the forwardingURL I cannot directly refer back to the uploaded file at the moment.

    Having the ItemID as part of the uplaod response would allow to directly refer back the uploaded file (in case the upload succeeded of course).

    The interesting part is that I could immediately allow the user to enter/modify information concerning the file, like for example setting metadata/tags or anything else depending on the type of application.

    The above process would then look like this:

    1. HTTP upload from browser
    2. Callback URL performs operations on the uplaoded file (db entry including ItemID via getpathinfo method, etc)
    3. forwardingURL shows success/failure page to user and through the ItemID the application can display a form to to the user so that he can enter metadata/tags (or whatever you might want to do with it)

    Hope this helps and really hope it will be taken on board soon ;-)

    ciao

    Luca

    Re: ItemID - usage in upload method

     This suggestion is a great idea.  We are still scoping all of the areas where Item ID will be returned and taken in.  I will add this idea to the mix of work we are planning around Item ID.

    Thank you,

    Hi Barry

    just to be sure, the additional GET parameter for the ItemID should also be included in the callbackURL response...
