Custom fields (Input Field Type: File)
May 21, 2009, 08:58:55 am
Hi,
I have a problem:
   
 I created a custom fields:
  Field Label :Image
  Input Field Type: File.

when I import a picture(eg *.jpg)  the "BLOB" fields from "civicrm_file" table are "0B"
uri :Becks_Sconce_7a71f92d45f465cd82f1c9d8de693563.jpg
[BLOB - 0B]

How import a picture from civicrm database to another site (eg wordpres).

   
Thanks,
Emil.

My recollection is that image files are not actually stored in the DB. Rather they are stored on your server in the configured "upload" directory. The "uri" field in the civicrm_file table tells you the filename in that directory. Check Admin CiviCRM >> Global Settings >> Directories to confirm the directory location for your install.
