Front-end upload attribute

Permalink
Hi guys,

I've a certain user group with user profiles that doesn't have access to dashboard. I want them to upload files, such as a logo.

What would be the best approach?

I've thought of this:
- Create a file set for each user
- Set custom permissions
- Create a 'image_file' attribute
- Let the user use file manager

Is this recommended?

And, is there a way to let the user *only* select files from this set?

Thanks, Adri

My Front End File Uploader block can usefully form the core of this functionality, uploading files to filesets or to a specified file.

For what you want, you would either need to hard code the block with some php to relate destination filesets or files to users, or FEFU integrates with Magic Data to do that automatically.

You can also use Magic Data to show the appropriate user's 'logo' file in the appropriate place.

With Black Magic Data, additional symbols provide further automation to create and manage user specific filesets, or even to add files to attributes.

Thanks John. (also for your PM). I'm unsure if I'm gonna need a whole package. Could just use a normal file field of course. I'm gonna think about it.
