how to add file upload field in suitecrm
Hi Arpit,
This is not a field type in SugarCRM/SuiteCRM. It is planned for future versions of SuiteCRM, but for now this would need to be coded.
Thanks,
Will.
Hi will,
Is there any helpful link or piece of code so i can connect to file upload field functionality
I am not aware of any easy way without using a plugin such as.

however there are posts like these which would get you on your way to building a upload/download field.

These would get you most if not all the way there.
Hi there,
It is best to contact the software vendor but any plug-ins that are compatible with SugarCRM Community Edition 6.5.x should work with SuiteCRM 7.x.
Thanks,
Will.
Any idea when this is planned to be implemented? I am in need of the feature (without doing half-baked / non-upgrade safe coding) but would likely put off buying the module if this is coming in the near(ish) future.
yngvar,
Yes, File Upload Field supports SuiteCRM (all versions).
+1, just came across this need to add files to KB Articles.
Let me just point out that there is a Photo field in SuiteCRM, which does basically this - uploads a file into the upload directory. Of course some changes would be needed to use for your purposes.
Thanks, I will try that as well.
For now I have created a Many to Many Relationship with Documents and then upload the file there.
The plugin is not available anymore online. Have you retired the plugin?
If it is still available. Can I use the file upload field in a “Create Person Form” for multiple files such as fotos?
It is retired as there are better options on the SuiteCRM Store now:
https://store.suitecrm.com/addons/multiupload-files-with-workflow
https://store.suitecrm.com/addons/DocumentsDatatype
These should work great for what you describe.
