how to create a form to hadle multiple file uploads?

Q&A
1

Hi, I'm using BOS 5.9

I'm designing the interface and I need to handle multiple docs uploading, The issue here is that it's not allways the same number of docs, so I can't insert a fixed number of file fields, nor create a fixed number of attachment vars in my process.

How can I accomplish my requirement, does anyone know a way to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Amine,

you can’t use that example in B6. the whole process for documents has changed since B5.

The only way to do a variable number of documents on a form in community is a variation of:

On your form add the maximum number of file widgets you are likely to encounter; F1-F20
Add a SimpleButton called Add A File and add a HTML Attribute:

onclick="addAFile();"

On the Form page add a HTML Widget at the bottom of the page with the following code as a CONSTANT;


Don’t forget to set all the Output Operations on the files for when you click submit…

Document will be null when not added or incomplete.
