File Upload Module

[tstrack]

Is there module to allow for file uploads?

I'd like to give a client the ability to upload a PDF via the file manager, similar to how the image module works - they click 'Choose Image' and it opens up the file manager.

Currently I have them copying a link in the file manager and pasting it into a text field, which is an awful UX.

This can be achieved by creating a new form with a file upload field.

1) Navigate to forms

2) Create a new form that will have the file upload

3) Create a new field, name it whatever you want i.e. 'File Upload', click 'Create new'.

4) Enter the information for your new field property, then set it to the type of 'File Upload'.

4) Save the property, then drag it onto your form, then save the form.

5) Make sure your page has a form module available, then add your new file upload form to that page

Maybe I should have explained a bit better.

I'm looking to create a module with HubL code to accomplish this. It would allow me to drag the module into a website page. When the end user would create/edit the page, they could drag that module onto the page like the image module - which allows a user to select an image from the file manager. The only difference being, I want them to be able to select a document from the file manager, rather than an image.

If this isn't possible, perhaps I can hard code something into the template file with HubL?

Am I making sense?

@tstrack yes, I agree this would be nice. Typically, what I do in these situations is use a text field and explain in the field's description that they should "copy and paste the URL from the file manager here".
