[SOLVED] Custom Field type "File"?

Hello,

there is a custom field type, named "File".


Are those files saved anywhere? I can only see the filename in the database, but not the file itself. And the documentation does not say anything about the "File" type.

Thank you for your reply!



Edit: I could solve it by myself, see 3 posts below

Ok, via Google I found that thread (couldn't find it via the forum search)

joomdonation.com/forum/events-booking-ge...ad-custom-field.html


So it seems that file upload does not work right now, am I right?

I would like to integrate it by myself, because it is really urgent and I cannot wait. Could you tell me which function in the controller is responsible for storing the data in the database? Because I would integrate the file upload into this function. I only use individual registration and it's always the same custom field, so I guess it won't be much work.

I thought it was the public function process_individual_registration() (line #204 in controller/controller.php), but editing this function does not affect anything for me.

Thank you!

*bump*

Any help? Advice? Hints?

I could finally fix it. I am very disappointed that this feature is not a part of the component, even though it seems like it. Even worse, customers uploaded files which are gone now.

But on the bright side: here's my solution:

Open the controller's function process_individual_registration
/components/com_eventbooking/controller/controller.php line #204
public function process_individual_registration()
20 lines below there is the following line: $model->processIndividualRegistration($post);
I've added the following lines:
The name of my custom field is file-upload, that's why it's $input->files->get('file-upload');

Afterwards go to the register model and add the following function

/components/com_eventbooking/models/register.php line #262
function processGroupRegistration($data)()

Above that line, add the following:

Save it, and the files are uploaded now.

Not the best solution, but at least, it's a solution!

Hi

At the moment, we are dealing with our hosting issue and could not give more information about it. Your solution works, but not the correct one.

We will update the proper code to download package on Monday next week. For the time being, please use the solution you are having

Hello,

I am having the same issue. Is there new code published to fix this? I see in a previous post that it was expected around the first Monday of December.

Thanks!

Hi Rafal

We will release new version (1.6.9) this week and will have the fix for it (for the time being, only for individual registration)

Regards,

Tuan

Thank you Tuan, I just purchased Membership Pro on December 5th so hope I qualify for the individual registration.

We provide free upgrade for one year for each purchase, don't worry

Hi,
Is the fixed code out yet? Is there a special location where I can download it from?
