Member	antoniades.n-gmail - 10/10/2013 4:50:25 PM Upload Images with order Hello I am developing a printing website where we will require from the customer to upload images in order to create a photo album, frame etc. Do you have such an option in Kentico if no is there any way to modify product options so that I can include it?

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for your message.

You can do this easily by selecting the right form control.

If you go to document type -> fields and add a field with a attribute type of Document attachments you are all set. Users can easily change order or their images directly in the control.

Please let me know how that works.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek

Hello Richard and thanks for your reply

I have read your comment but I do not know how this will be helpful. I mean I have added the field on the document type but the field is not visible in the customer. He can only view product options on the product page.

Imagine this scenario. He selects a product of type Photo album, he can select the size of the album but as a business I want him also to upload images so that I can print them on the album.

Hi,

Yeah, you are right, this will not work for front-end users.

The thing you could do is to use Media file uploader webpart along with the gallery product. Those webpart would be separated so you would need to create some link between them in form of some id.

The Media file uploaded webpart would store the images in the file system in some specific folder with the same id which you would pass to the e-commerce order.

So when the admin would see that the product is type of photo album he would find the attached images in the corresponding media library folder.

I see that this is quite complicated and this would require some advanced knowledge, I hope I pointed you to the right direction of the process.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek
