Hi,
I am wanting to write a file to the server, but pause until it is written, so I can check it is 100% there before the user moves on.
Using the streaming file write function i can get this to work, but it is asynchronous, so I would prefer to use the it2be plugin so i mark the app as busy until written, read its size or something to flag to the user a file of Xmb was written.
The only issue is I cannot appear to get the simple writeFile routing to work.
I have a byte array passed to my script. I even tried to write it to a local file and then read the bytes.
When i pass it to the plugin, it saves a file of 10k with an array in it like ‘@123bd3’
I must be doing something stupid, as I am sure this plugin must work!
plugins.it2be_tools.server().writeFile(_dir + ‘test.pdf’,_file)
whether I use _file (which is a good pdf byte array passed to the script) or read for f.getBytes()
it writes a file but as above just puts an array in the file not the file!
I attach the code I am using semi-successfully as this only works with the file streaming plugin not the it2be one.
If anyone has any sample code they use, I would be grateful for it. Just one of those where i am banging my head against a brick wall
