Name Record Attachments

You can allow users to upload and attach documents to a name record from the Attachments.awp page.

The attachments are stored in a subfolder within Student Manager called namedocs. Each person will have a folder within namedocs which uses their ID # from their Name record as the folder name.

Attachments Link URL

Newer copies of person.awp have a disabled link to the attachments page. To enable it, change the .F. to .T.:

<% IF .F. %><%= HREF('Attachments'+mapExt+'?atto='+This.Page.oName.oData.nmID,'Attachments','onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"')%><span class="separator"></span><% ENDIF %>

If your copy does not have the above expression, you can add it to your copy of person.awp.

Adding a Link to ACEweb Registration Confirmation Template

You can add a link to registration confirmations for students to upload files after enrolling in the course. The link will associate the attachment with the course.

<a href="##config.cAcewebURL##attachments##MapExt##?&atto=##tPerson.nmid##&txtcourseID=##trim(tCard.cocrse)##">Upload Files</a>

The link expression should be added to the ##-CoursePostscript-## section inside the <td> tags:

Notes:

The Upload Files link will appear for all courses in the transaction.
The user must log in to upload files.

Restricting File Size/Types

If you are using the .NET version, you can limit the size of file uploads. Contact your ACEware technician for more information.

You can also limit file types by entering the file types into teh value of the ApprovedExts hidden field on attachments.awp then recompiling the template.
