Member File Upload
So, not really sure where to start with this one, any advice or "roadmap" to develop this would be awesome!

What I'd like to do is (already using contour for forms on the site):
- allow a member to upload a file (probably a pdf) from the member's section of a website
- have the file post somewhere and send an email that a file's been uploaded from memberNameHere
- when the member logs in again, have a link to the file be displayed on a "files page" in the members section of the site so they can keep track of their uploads
- ideally protect the files from download by other members
Any thoughts on how to achieve this?

Thanks for any help!

Amir,

I think you should have a look at Richard's package for protecting media. Can be found in the project section

Cheers,

Thanks Dirk! I looked at that package and it looks great, It seems like that is only part of the solution though no? I'm not really sure how I would attach each upload to their respective member?

I'm pretty sure you can use some custom workflow events to store uploaded files on the server and make sure to create a reference between member (using Member.GetCurrentMember() or using the standard asp.net membership API) and the uploaded file.

Haven't done it myself to be honest, but don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

Cheers,

/Dirk
