Hello all,

I am using the mail download plugin for the cms.
I want to create a page which processes the data from the incoming mail section to another section, including the attachments.
What is the easiest way to do this?
I came across something with @saveUploadFromFilepath, but i don't know how it works.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

What you would need to do is first create the record in the other section. Once this is done, you can use saveUploadFromFilepath() to move the upload. You'll need to call this function once for each file that needs to be moved.

The function is called like this:

saveUploadFromFilepath($tablename, $fieldname, $recordNum, $preSaveTempId, $filepath)

$preSaveTempId in your case would be null. So an example call would look like this:

saveUploadFromFilepath("my_section", "uploads", $newRecordNum, null, $upload['filePath']);

$newRecordNum would be the record number of the record you just created in your new section.

Hope this helps get you started

Hi Guido,

The saveUploadFromFilePath() function will make a copy of the upload and associate it with your new record. You will then need to delete the upload from the other section. you can do this using the removeUploads() function. This works by passing a WHERE clause to the function.

For example:

removeUploads("num = '".intval($upload['num'])."'");

Hope this helps
