Upload File field

[Paul Dowd]

Hi,

Is it possible to have some kind of field that a user can use to upload a specific type of file?

I want to then be able to easily access this file using the API. 

There will be multiple files uploaded to an item and we need to be able to retrieve them individually and I don't think that the attach file system will reliably work for me in this.

Thanks

Paul

Yes, what you need is add a Upload Custom Field and a validate method for the extension of the file, eg:

function hasExtensions(filename, exts){
    return new RegExp("(" + exts.join("|").replace(/\./g, '\\.') + ')$')).test(filename);
}

cur_frm.my_field_custom(doc, cdt, cdn){
    if (!doc.my_field && !hasExtensions(doc.my_field, [".pdf", ".doc", ".docx"]){
        doc.my_field = undefined;
        cur_frm.refresh_fields();
        wn.msgprint(wn._("Wrong File type"));
}
}

thanks Maxwell, but I'm not sure how to "add a Upload Custom Field" since this isn't one of the field-type options.

Should I be adding a new script or is there a way to add a new Custom Field type?

The type of the Custom Field are Upload!

Do you know what your version of ERPNext?

If it is a version less than 3.x the type are "Selecet" and in options you fill "Image"

Hi Maxwell,

It is v3.7.1

I've tried changing the custom field to:

Field Type = Select

Options = Image

All it gives me is a drop down select box where I can select "Image"... which is what I expected it would do. 

Am I missing that field option? Upload isn't an option in the Field Type menu. 

Thanks

Paul

are you referring to the "Customize Form" / "Allow Attach" tickbox??

This solution is what I'm trying to get away from!! :) 

I need to upload multiple files to the Batch doc-type because we have to record multiple PDFs of different government inspections and certifications. We then needs to retrieve those inspections through the API automatically, so we need to be able to reliably reference them. 

Any assistance in figuring out this issue would be awesome.

Thanks

Paul

fantastic, thanks Maxwell.

To clarify what I've done for others, to create a upload file field you do the following:

1. Create new Custom Field and enter your name/label. 

2. Use: Field Type = Select

3. Use: Options = "attach_files:"

‎Hi team,

Is there any way to add attachments to emails being sent from ERPNext? For example, after submitting a Sales Invoice, there's an email dialog box that comes ‎up right after. The issue however is that some of us need to attach other documents along with an invoice before it is sent to the customer. 

Any solution? 

Kind regards,

[Umair Sayyed]

Hello Wale,

You should first attach files in Invoice to be sent as an attachment. The attached files will be available for selection at the bottom of email dialog box.
