Application form - file attachments item

Thanks again for the Application Form module Iseki! It has helped us tremendously.

I've created a form that we use to get specialized feedback and information from our students. We would really like the students to be able to add file attachments to the forms that they submit. We want students to be able to attach their work files, such as .doc or .rtf files, spreadsheets, text files, etc. Can you suggest the best way to do this?

The way I see it creating a new File Attachments item type in \mod\apply\item would be the best way to achieve this. Do you agree? Would you be able to implement this?

Thanks.

Does the Application Form module code structure allow you to use $mform?

If so, can we use $mform to add a File Manager element to the Application Form, like this:

$mform = $this->_form;
$mform->addElement('filemanager', ...);

Will that work? Or is $mform not supported in this context?

Hi, Sorry for my late reply.
I have been sick since this January.
My physical condition is not recovering now.

Currently, maintenance is difficult.

Thanks.

Hi iseki. Have you recovered and are you better?

The File Attachments functionality has been added to our "fork" of mod_apply. We added a new item type to \mod\apply\item\file so now you can add a "File Attachments" item type to your application forms. This gives your students the option to attach files to their application form submissions. This is useful when they need to attach "proof of work" or similar documents to an application form.

Some minor changes had to be made to the mod_apply core code to make this attachments item work.

Since this Application Form module is not on GitHub, how do I submit a pull request to have this work added to the core mod_apply module?

Thanks for your cooperation.

I still have little pain, and I am going to do a close examination next time, because it's the very long time pain.

I would like to process the your proposal in August

Please indicate the url of source code.

Thanks
