Hi, I'd like to create a custom attribute which will allow users to add an illustration (image file) to their document. As far as I've seen it just a matter of setting the correct "control to load", but I dunno which one? I tried with a "AspnetUpload.ascx", it appears correctly but the file is not been uploaded. What can I do? Best regard, Stéphane.

Hi Stephane, You'll need to create your own control for this and call that. The control needs to inherit the Framework.EntrySettingsBase and you will need to handle all the surrounding logic (like what happens to the uploaded file etc). Peter

Hi Peter, Thank for the info. Is there any documentation available on this topic? A sample would be perfect. Best regard, Stéphane.

No, sorry. I hope to release code samples at one point through the extensions section. Peter

I just have one question, how can I do to retrieve the attribute id? A configuration variable?

Hi Peter, Here's what I've come with: http://pastebin.com/nckNqmbK Notice that due to a bug (?), the AttributeId property of the EntryAttributeInfo object isn't filled. That's why I have to use a out parameter to return the key. Best regard, Stéphane.

Hi Stephane, If you use an attribute in your own logic what you do is to give it a key (instead of letting DMX generating an automatic one). That way you can retrieve it to get at the attribute id which you cache somewhere. Hope this helps. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
