Hi.
Is that possible to make a link in DB view for a file that was uploaded by form?

Cheers 🙂

Hi fiskolini,

I don't usually recommend saving the full link; if the path is always the same then you can easily save the file name and add the rest of the URL in the email template or in a thank you page
<a href='http://mydomain.com/components/com_chronoforms/uploads/{file_input}' >Click to download</a>

Or you can save the full URL which is created by the Upload Files action (use the Debugger to see exactly what the name is in your form). This time the link would be
<a href='{file_url}' >Click to download</a>

I did not realize 😟

I have a ChronoForm in a private website (only registed people can really see the form), with 3 upload files with blob datatype in table. What I realy need is that when I check "Show Data" the uploaded files appears linkable (user friendly for some people here).

Hi fiskolini,

WE had a thread on this a year or so ago in the forums here. I don't think that we ever found a way to get files saved as 'blobs' back out and linkable. I'm sure that it it possible, if you work out how to do it please let us know.
