Custom field type file upload

Hi Joris

Thanks!

It’s not possible now, and depending on what exactly you need, it might be quite some work to implement. My main question is: what do you want to do with the uploaded file after it’s uploaded and a payment is made? Where should it be shown? How will you use it?

At the moment I’m building features that a lot of people request first, and you are the first to request this. So to be honest, I’m not sure I’ll get to this in the short term.

Looking forward to your reply!
Kind regards
David

Hello David,

I was a little bit afraid of this answer ??

I’m developing a website for quick online assays for objects. This requires the customers to upload as much information as possible.

The purpose is to let users upload files, only available/downloadable for an Admin. It would be nice to see the attached files in the Admin with all other information of the payment.

I think it’s possible to do this in two steps, but then we need to think of something to link the attachements to the payments. Any idea’s?

Kind regards,
Joris

Hi Joris,

What do you mean with “in two steps”? What would those steps be?

I wouldn’t mind adding a hook into the payments page so a developer can add any information they want to that page. Would that help?

Might you have a budget to have this done as a custom project?

Kind regards
David

Hello David,

With two steps I mean:
1. Upload files and give necessary information
2. Pay up front

In the admin panel we need to combine the files, information and payment together.

When I saw your plugin, I thought it would be nice if there was a file upload custom field type, so everything would be combined together already.

But I think I can manage it with a little bit more work.
Thanks for your answer anyway!

Kind regards,
Joris

Ok, good luck with the implementation, feel free to show me how you eventually used Paytium ??

Hello David,

Tottaly forgot to tell you, but I’m using Paytium on this site:
Digitaal taxeren

Very cool, thanks for letting me know!

How did you eventually solve the upload problem?

We made a two step ordering process in this case.

First the customer gives the necessary information together with file uploads.
That information is send by email.

When step 1 is successfull, the customer must pay by Paytium. In both steps the email adres is a required field, so we can combine the information with the payment.

Only after a successfull payment, the order will be processed.

Keep up the good work!

Cool!
