Custom Module File based - Editview uplaod again

[aureh12]

Dear all.

I created a custom module based on File.
When you create a custom file module, Sugar will not create give it the Revision capabilities.

So my module is now published in my Sugar.

I create a record, uploading a file.
But i f i want to update the file, I can't.
I cannot upload a new file and replace the current outdated file.

The only way is to delete the record and create a new one with the updated file and create again all the relationship with other module. This is not bearable.

Do you have a solution ?
How can I modify the module so I can upload again a file in the EditView and replace the old file ?

Thanks for your help.

I think I found the answer.

I modified the EditView in /custom/modules/MYMODULE/metadata/

and replace the code:

 'customCode' => '{if $fields.id.value!=""}
 {assign var="type" value="hidden"}
 {else}
 {assign var="type" value="file"}
 {/if}
 <input name="uploadfile" type = {$type} size="30" maxlength="" onchange="setvalue(this);" value="{$fields.filename.value}">{$fields.filename.value}', 
  

by

 'customCode' => '{assign var="type" value="file"}
<input name="uploadfile" type = {$type} size="30" maxlength="" onchange="setvalue(this);" value="{$fields.filename.value}">', 
  

It is working.

Can you confirm ot me that it is the right way to do ?

I try in 5.5.2 CE,
but there's NO chance to solve this issue, in this way. First you have forget {/if}, second the field now can be editable, but there isn't Browse button and so, you can't upload again a new file.

Can anyone help us to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance. regards

Dear carlo75

It's working for me on 5.5.2 CE.

You need to replace the whole custom code.
