Input File or File multiple?? was created by Carlos

Hi.

When i create a file field type, on table creator.. the final result is a input file multiple...

I edited the XML file in forms folder with the example of joomla documentation ...and nothing

Joomla input file example : docs.joomla.org/File_form_field_type/en

and this is my code...

<field name="certificate_file_name" type="file" label="COM_TECSIQUIM_CERTIFICATE_FORM_LBL_CERTIFICATE_CERTIFICATE_FILE_NAME" description="COM_TECSIQUIM_CERTIFICATE_FORM_DESC_CERTIFICATE_CERTIFICATE_FILE_NAME" accept="application/pdf" required="true" />

thanks.

Carlos, I suspect you are experiencing the same confusion I had and reported here . I eventually realized that the File field type does not react to changes wtihin the XML file - that most attributes listed there reflect the initial settings made in CC but are not used by the php code. My solution was to make the needed changes within the code. Another possible soluiton would be to return to CC, make the changes as you want, then regenerate and install the new code.

Hello,
I do not see post 1 and post 23 of this discussion.

Has your problem been solved?
Because I meet the same difficulty.

I only have to allow the loading of a single file to the user of my component.

I get closer to the doc JOOMLA, but when I change "Filemultiple" by "File" (in the XML file), the name of the image is no longer saved in the table (the field remains empty) and the mage is not saved in the folder.

Best regards.

Eric

Nevermind.. got it!

Here is what I did, in case anyone else needs it:

In /administrator/models/fields/filemultiple I have added the logic to check for "multiple" attribute in xml.
I added private variable "$multiple_files" and checked the xml field for the "multiple" attribute inside the getInput().
This is how that class looks like now:

class JFormFieldFileMultiple extends \Joomla\CMS\Form\FormField
{
	/**
	 * The form field type.
	 *
	 * @var        string
	 * @since    1.6
	 */
	protected $type = 'file';

	private $multiple_files;

	/**
	 * Method to get the field input markup.
	 *
	 * @return    string    The field input markup.
	 *
	 * @since    1.6
	 */
	protected function getInput()
	{
		// Multiple files or single file
		$this->multiple_files = $this->getAttribute('multiple');

		// Build field type
		if ($this->multiple_files === "true") :
			$html = '<input type="file" name="' . $this->name . '[]" multiple>';
		else :
			$html = '<input type="file" name="' . $this->name . '[]">';
		endif;

		return $html;
	}
}

In XML, you can now add multiple="true" to have multiple files.
If you don't do this, it will be single file.

Cheers
