Upload Control

Hi  

I'm developing an online proposal form (a bit like biz doc) using ops and making good progress, a few sticking points but generally ok. However, I'm having difficulty making sense of the upload control.

What I need to do is allow users to submit "additional information", probably a word / pdf doc, when particular critera require it. This uploaded doc should then be able to be downloaded by the administrator - via the admin section - when they review the proposal.

Any advise here would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Lee Bamford

Lee,

You don't say what exactly you are having problems with.

For a start, you can look at the XForms Upload and XForms Sandbox
examples: both use the upload control.

   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/goto-example/xforms-upload
   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/goto-example/xforms-sandbox

One key aspect consists in binding the instance data node to either of
the xs:base64Binary or xs:anyURI type. Check also this part of the
documentation:

   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-ng#xforms-upload

On the server, you have the opportunity to retrieve the uploaded file
either within the submittedXForms instance if you used
xs:base64Binary, or by dereferencing an URL if you used
xs:anyURI. Then what you do with the data is up to you: you can store
it in a database, save it on disk, etc.

Thanks for the response Erik.

I'll have a play around with the examples.

Thanks
