How to upload an image to a contact's data
October 20, 2014, 07:48:17 am
Hello everyone,

What is the best way to upload a picture to a contact's data?
I have an extension page that allows users to modify their contact image. How do I upload the file on the extension page and save it's URL on the contact 'image_URL' field?


I've look at previous topics such as http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=27122.0 but I don't see anything that would help me.

Thank you!

Hello all!

We've decided to add a small form to upload the picture:

Code: [Select]
<form action="Questions.php" method="POST" enctype='multipart/form-data'>
            <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
            <input type="file" name="logo">
              <input class='button' type="submit" value="Upload File">
          </form>
The problem now is that the $_FILES global comes out empty. The file names appears on the $_POST variable, but that's it.

Thank you!

Hi all!

I solved the previous issue by building the form in the buildQuickForm() hook. All I have to do now is save the file correctly!

Does any one have any idea on how to do it?

Thank you!

Hello!

Thanks Hershel for your post, I was able to save the image using your code as a reference!

Thanks!

You could save yourself a lot of custom code & future maintanance by using Webform-CiviCRM-Integration for this
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.
