Add file upload to Orchard module?

Question

Hi i'm currently working with the CyberStride.Contacts module in Orchard and have been trying to add a file upload to the form, but there seems to be a problem somewhere because the files never upload. Has any one successfully add a fileupload to a module in Orchard, if so could you share how you accomplished this. Thanks.

Answer 1

In order to be able to upload with a form, that form needs to be multipart. This is why it doesn't work without a couple of tricks.

You can find an example of a file upload in this module: http://orchardproject.net/gallery/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.Contrib.ImageField

Answer 2

Note now there is a FileUpload field here: http://orchardproject.net/gallery/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.Contrib.FileField

Once you install this

1. Click Content Types on the dashboard.
2. Click Edit on the Contact Page type.
3. Under fields, click Add, and add File Field. Thats it!!

When you add a contact form a file upload field will automatically show.
