how to upload files, save to database and view using cc6

The upload is already working but I can not see the file.
A pdf.

Remembering that I do not want to download, just open in the browse

Hi Rafael,
​
Some files can be opened like images, you can configure the download action to display the files instead of downloading them, but only if the file is image.
​
Best regards

As I said before, the upload is working, but I can not see the link of this file, being unable to see the pdf and then download it

Did you create a view with the link to the file ? or a link to an event with the download action inside ?
​
Best regards

create a view with the link to the file, in case I want to do this, but I could not

Hi Refael,
​
A view of type Link Button with the file url in the url box should be okay, or a view of type HTML and use the code below:

<a href="http://link to file">View file</a>

Best regards

In this way as you wrote it is a manual way to solve.

I do not think you understand what I need to do.

I can already upload the file, PDF, it is saved in the folder of my preference, now I need to make this file available for viewing or download and this needs to be done automatically.

I can not manually create more than 100 links to view these PDFs every 2 or 3 days.

I need to make it when clicking to view the file, open that file. I think the idea is the same to visualize an ITEM Joomla, when I click to view the information, but in my case, view the PDF file

Hi Rafael,
​
So you want to save a record when the file is uploaded then display a link to download/view the file based on the records saved, correct ?
​
Best regards

Yes, exactly

Hi Rafael,
​
So you need a "Save data" action when the file is uploaded, and you need a database table created to store this information of course.
​
After saving the record you can list all the records in a table, there is a FAQ on how to do this.
​
Please let us know if you need help with any of these steps.
​
Best regards

Yes, I can do all this already.

I already created the table with the data saved in the database, what I get is i filename.pdf but you can not see it or download it.

I would be happy to know that either - how to show uploaded file preview in CC6 table instead of showing filename.

Waiting for resolution

Hi,
​
It depends on the file type, if the file is an image then you can either use an image tag <img and build the src attribute to display it OR use the download action to display it too.
​
But if its another file type then a file preview may not be easy unless you use an <embed tag.
​
Best regards

Hello, after the image has been uploaded, how do I display the image?It only shows the name of the image, but it would be interesting to show the image itself.How do I do that ?Thanks if you can help. Look at the image, I just need it to show the image instead of the name.

I've successfully created option to view PDF or any file that was uploaded and now want to view/download pdf/file.

My steps:

Under View Tab--> Create an "html" under custom tab
my code: I named it "html_view_upload1_list"
<a href="domain url/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/{var:table_name.row.model.fieldname of file}" target="_blank"><img src="domain url/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/{var:table_name.row.model.field_name of file}" /></a>

Under View Tab

Edit your Table -->

columns views:
model.fieldname of file:{view:html_view_upload1_list}

Hope this helps anyone. Many trial and error for me to figure out.
