[Vtigercrm-developers] Create file/attachment field

[Rubén A. Estrada Orozco]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create an  upload field. Like the contact's image field but
this one should allow for pdfs, doc, xls, etc... not just images. The use
case is: make file fields mandatory, so that the user has to upload
something. Currently, with the documents module you can have related files,
but you cannot make them mandatory.

I've tried 2 approaches

1) Simply add a relation field linked to the documents module. After adding
the field, it looks like so:

But only the lookup button works. The add button doesn't do anything. What
I would like is that this modal would show up:

[image: image.png]

2) I've previously managed to add an image field (uitype 69) like so:
https://code.vtiger.com/vtiger/vtigercrm/issues/1635

So I tried using uitypes 28 and 61 to be able to upload other files
different from images. None of them seem to work.
A button like this is displayed in the edit view:
[image: image.png]
But the files do not get uploaded.

If someone has any tips or solutions so I don't have to spend a lot of time
on this, please let me know.


Saludos

Rubén
