In relation to the above:

If I add:

public File CV { get; set; }

To the ProfileViewModel and subsequently add:

 @Html.EditorFor(model => model.CV, new {@class = "form-control", placeholder = "CV File"})

To ProfileEdit.cshtml... temporarily ignoring the controller modifications that are necessary.

Then I get this:

Which, although expected, is not really desired. I would expect an upload control of course :)

Hey,

I'm just trying to figure this out as well, did you get anywhere with it?

Thanks,

Kyle

Hi Kyle, Chris

When doing file upload forms in MVC, I've used this.

In the view model:

public HttpPostedFileBase CVFile { get; set; }

In the view, just use the standard HTML file input:

<input type="file" name="CVFile" />

Make sure also to have this on your form (as an extra parameter passed to the Html.BeginForm or Html.BeginUmbracoForm) too:

new { id = "content-form", enctype = "multipart/form-data" }

And then in the post action for the controller you can access the file like this.

if (vm.CVFile != null && vm.CVFile.ContentLength > 0)
{
    // Do the necessary to save the file and attach it to the member property
}

Hope that helps - for the bit in comments above (the associating of the file with the member) looks like this thread will help.

Hi Andy,

I think I'm nearly there, I have the file uploaded & saved.

However I'm saving the media ID of file to the members upload field, doesn't have the complete link in the admin area.

Code to upload & save:

if (model.CVFile != null)
        {
            var mediaService = Services.MediaService;
            //CreateMedia takes the name of the media you are created, the id of the parent and finally the alias of the MediaType that you want the media to be based on.
            var media = mediaService.CreateMedia(model.CVFile.FileName, 1137, "File");
            mediaService.Save(media);

            media.SetValue("umbracoFile", model.CVFile);
            //And then save it similar to the above snippet
            mediaService.Save(media);

            updateMember.getProperty("CVFile").Value = media.Id;
        }

The link in the admin next to the upload field is : "/media/1152" How do I get the full path to the file ?

Kind Regards,

Kyle
