File uploads with Form Generator

Hi Greg,

The upload system used by CMSB can't be easily integrated to the front-end. However, you can create a front-end uploader by submitting information fitting the "uploads" section. The section can be accessed by going to cmsb/admin.php?menu=uploads and it contains all the uploaded files information. By saving a new record in the section with required information, the CMSB will recognize the uploaded file.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Hi Leo,

Thank you very much for this information. I didn't know this page existed. Very useful!

For the time being, we've set it up by displaying the cmsb upload form in an iframe, which seems to be working well. It's just a shame I can't seem to drag the sort order on touch devices...

Are there any security issues we should consider when using an iframe to display the uploads forms?

Thanks again,

Greg

Hi Greg,

I have talked to the team about the topic. For that feature, you may need to ensure the user is logged in when uploading anything, and you may also need to modify the code to make sure the user is only allowed to upload to certain fields and records.

Hi Leo,

That's really useful advice, thank you very much.

Regards,

Greg
