[Vtigercrm-developers] This shouldn't be so hard!

[Prasad]

Alan,

File attachement was a controlled operation and needs to be enabled by
module.

Generally, MODULENAME->save_module() should trigger the call to
CRMEntity->uploadAndSaveFile($id,$module,$files);

Look at modules/HelpDesk/HelpDesk.php

Let us know if it helps.

Regards,
Prasad
