Hi,

I know there is a thread regarding manually changing scripts to allow a visitor to upload a file attachment with an application.

I'm not a php programmer and can't get it to work.

Does anyone have a hack for attachments that I could download?

I think this is better than just pasting the resume because of formatting issues as the application will be sent in text format...

Anyone care to share the upload amemdments?

regards,

jim mccann

Are there instructions on how to apply this patch? Are there any plans on applying this to the official release? Sorry for the questions but I think it would be cool if someone could make this noob-proof ..

Attachment to the application form will be in v1.2, but not in this form, it will use a more stable functionality that hopefully should work for everyone.

Thank you .. can't wait

This is actually working for me pretty good. Upon inspection of the code, I'm not sure if it's particularly the most "secure" approach (no checks for file type, and size, etc), but I serves my needs right now.

One thing that I'm hoping to tweak is the validation before form submittal (right now this code allows an empty form to be submitted). I'm not sure where I need to add the validation code since this is linked through the .tmpl part of jobline.

Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks!

Its only basic code for attachment. No other validations are added here.

for allowing only certain files to be uploaded you can use the add this code to the existing code

Code:

$allowedfiles = array("application/msword","text/richtext"«»); if ( !in_array( $type, $allowedfiles ) ) { mosRedirect( "$mosConfig_live_site/index.php?option=$option&Itemid=$Itemid&task=error&msg="._AD_INVALIDFILE ); return; }

The code for attachmnet work both with and woithout attachment. AND If you intend to add some javascript validation, you could add it on 'jobline.html.php' in function 'function showApplicationForm' just above the lines

Code:

$tmpl = new mxTemplate( "$mosConfig_absolute_path/components/$option/templates/{$cfgjl['template']}" ); if ( $tmpl->setTemplate( "applicationform" ) )

When will that RC be out?
