How to upload a file to a record?

Unread post by teknic111 »

Hi everyone.

How can I upload files to a record?

I basically want the ability to upload PDFs to a record, so other users can see those files and download them.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that example, but it not quite what I'm looking for.

I'd like a field that allows me to upload multiple files and another field that shows the files that have been uploaded. The field that shows the uploaded files, should also allow users to download any file listed.

Is this something that's possible with nuBuilder?

teknic111,

I wouldn't know how to do it. Maybe you should look at using Dropbox. One of the best things about today's internet is the way one tool works with another.

Dropbox could be an excellent solution. Are there any examples that show how to incorporate Dropbox with nuBuilder?

teknic111,

Sorry but its something you'll either need to figure it out yourself or find someone that can. (Its what we had to do - and it took a few hours, about the same time it would take us to explain it).

But you could start here.. https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/php

And it can give results on a Form like this..

How about putting this on the "feature" list for a future version of NBP? Integrate the ability to easily add Dropbox to a DB in the core NBP code.

codesrc,

There are so many different APIs for different applications, you need to decide on what is right for you. You could even try http://www.box.com.
