Activate Client File Upload

[seekthelight]

The "Integrator Guide" does not address how this item works. Does it require a separate plugin? Does it require a separate page? At what stage does the client get to upload a page?

If it suppose to work at some time during the checkout, it is not working in my site. I wish to allow clients to upload artwork after making payment.

What have I missed? Other than the fact I may have missed something, this does not work at all.

Hi,
It's a long time since I looked at this. But there is an option i the Admin>Settings>folders of OpenStore. Then you have an option in the product itself to upload lcient files.

However, I don't think the default template provides the required tokens to upload. I check the code and some code exists server side for this., using the ...input id="optionfilelist" type='hidden' ...
input field as a list of files that have been upload.

I've checked the last install we did that does this for a client and we have created a module to deal with it. However, we had some special processing for that, so that might be the reason for the bespoke module we create.

If you look at v3 of the code you'll see a section in the prodct display that was used to do this.

I think it was removed from the default templates, because it was implemented without any special features and the developers were getting complaints for the solution not doing EXACTLY what the integrator wanted. Of course the best solution is to create your own plugin modules.

You can try using v3 code, from what I recall we did use it and it uploads a file to the order, which the manager can then access via the order. Like I said the code still seems to be on the server side code, but you might have some tweaking to do to get it correct.

P.S. If you do get it working, please create some note and pass then to me, so I can put them on the documentation. We're always tryign to improve it, but time seems to get away from us.
