How to map the file upload field with document type?
Hi guys,
Recently I start to play around with Contour to create forms. One form is required to upload image files.
I mapped the form field (file upload type) with document type (media picker) in workflow. Obviously the image cannot be stored into the doc type.
Shall I create some form event to load the image file to media section, then link to the document type? Or is there any way to manage them (eg : set the document type as string instead of media picker)?
You want be able to map that against a media picker, since the media picker stores on id of a media item and the upload fieldtype of contour will contain a path to the uploaded file.
If you wish to add the file to the media section you'll need to write a custom workflow that takes care of that
I have a document type with a media picker property. In the Contour workflow I have created Save as document, and tried to map the File Upload field to the Media Picker property like you suggested.
When the form is submitted/approved, all the fields are captured in the newly created document, but the media picker does not show/link the File Upload from the contour form submission.
Is there anything I might be missing?
Would appreciate if you can advise how to achieve that.

Noticed that the file was here in umbraco:
/umbraco/plugins/umbracoContour/files/9fa847ae-06b4-4cf8-aaad-719b1894043b/80c4a724-2512-49cb-96d3-dcc0c2e7f546/accommodation-demo2.jpgBy the way, the submit appeared above the images section in the form on IE and disappeared on firefox.
