Moodle plugins directory: File upload

Hi Shamin,

Thanks for the plugin.
I'm currently testing the plugin with moodle localy installed.

I created a new user and then upload a pdf file. I would like to know where this file is located? I searched for this file in my computer but couldn't find anything (except of course the file used for the upload).

Plus, I wrote a short text in the field "description" to indicate what kind of file to upload which doesn't appear while logged in as a user. Is it an issue or quite normal?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Shamin,

We are using File upload plugin and we are very grateful you.
Each profile field has the parameter «Who is this field visible to?» When this parameter is «Not visible» or «Visible to everyone» all works well.

If the «Who is this field visible to?» = «Visible to user», the student on his own profile page sees the field’s name and a link to the file in «User details». But when a student clicks on the file, an error occurs «Sorry, the requested file could not be found». Check this case, please.
For administrators such error does not occur. We use moodle 3.1.3 and File upload rel.date 29/07/2016

Hi Sergey,
Thank you for the report. I found the problem and will release a fix in a couple of days.

It took a bit more than a couple of days but it is fix now. A new version is available.

Hi Shamim!
Many thanks! Exectly today we had to start using your plugin for our students. All the best!

Hi Shamim,
Thanks for the great plugin, but I thinks there is some bugs. Fields "Display on signup page?" and "Should the data be unique?" are inactive and I cannot change from "No" (by default) to "Yes". Or I do something incorectly?

Hi Paulius,
This is an intended behaviour and not a bug.
Moodle does not allow displaying the file upload dialogue to a not logged in user for security purposes.
Therefore, this plugin cannot display the upload field on the sign-up page or Moodle would throw an error.

Shamim,
Is there any way to define by role who can see this profile field?

Hi Kirstin,
As it is standard with any profile field you add to Moodle, you have the 3 options of making the field invisible (only admins can see), visible to the user (the user him/herself and admins) or visible to everyone.

You cannot set the visibility based on role.

Hi Shamim,

Is there a way we can restrict the user to upload a pdf of image file only?
Please let me know.

Hi Mudit,

Unfortunately, the current version of the plugin does not support that. However, I encourage you to file a feature request at https://github.com/rezaies/moodle-profilefield_file/issues.

Hey, that is a great plugin! Is there a way to upload the files on learner's behalf in bulk? (e.g. as it is possible with user photos etc...

Hello! Are you planning to update the plugin for versions 3.5 and higher?
Or does he work with them?

Hi Nikolai
I haven't tested myself but I believe it should work with 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 as well.

Thanks, Shamim!
