how to create download link from file that i uploaded, Because the file can show path store only.

Hi,

the upload field is meant to give the user of your website the opportunity to upload a file with the form (to attach a document). This uploaded file is just for you, the administrator of the website. Therefore there is no download link in the detail view, but just a path. And the admin would download the files via ftp.

Why do you want to create a download link? Which type of documents are uploaded to your website. Maybe there is an other solution for the download.

Maybe I can change that in the next revision, but I will have to think about security risks first.

Kind Regards,
Aicha

Thank you Very much Administrator ..


For idea to create like file uploaded..

In my case, i want to show the report to the teacher with link for download file

The files are PDF files and it 's my report

Hi,

insert in file yourWebsite/components/com_visforms/views/visformsdata\tmpl/detail.php after

if ($rowField->typefield == 'text') {
if ($t_texttype == 'email') {
$texte = '<a href="mailto:'.$texte.'">'.$texte.'';
}
}

(it's about line 80)
the following code

if ($rowField->typefield == 'fileupload') {
$base = JPATH_BASE . DS;
$base = explode('\\', $base);
$path= implode('\\\\', $base);
$pattern = '#' . $path . '#';
$texte = preg_replace( $pattern, JURI::base(), $texte);
$texte = preg_replace ('#\\\\#', '/', $texte);
$texte = '<a href="'.$texte.'" target="_blank">'.$texte.'</a>';
}

If you are not familiar with this, please send me your e-mail adress (my adress is below the forum) and I can send you the changed file.

Hi, is there a way to remove the upload path from displaying in the email? The file is automatically attached to the email, so I'd rather hide the upload path from the email for better security, is this possible?

I have checked the com_visforms/views/visformsdata/tmpl/details.php as described as part of the solution for turning the path to a downloadable link, but cannot find the defined path in this file.

Thanks
