File upload (defined in blueprints)

[kroegerama]

I have defined the following in the blueprints file of my theme (/user/themes/mytheme/blueprints/default.yaml) to add a new tab "Downloads" to each page's admin panel:

form:
  fields:
    tabs:
      type: tabs
      active: 1
      fields:
        downloads:
          type: tab
          title: Downloads
          fields:
            downloads:
              type: section
              title: Downloads
              underline: true
            header.downloads:
              type: list
              label: Downloads
              fields:
                .title:
                  type: text
                  label: Title
                  default:
                  validate:
                    required: true
                .file:
                  type: upload
                  label: File
                .icon:
                  type: text
                  label: Icon
                  default:
                  validate:
                    required: false

This works fine and the new tab is displayed. However, if I click on "save", the file won't upload and the page header contains:

file: 'C:\fakepath\test.bin'

The fakepath part is a security feature of Chrome. Grav should only use the last part of the filename.

(I'm not sure, if this is a problem with the admin plugin or with the forms plugin. Sorry, if I'm wrong here.)

The form's plugin is still very much a beta. In fact that upload field is not even tested yet.

The admin has it's own field overrides, and frankly it's just relying on the forms engine to power the admin forms.

Please move this issue to the forms plugin issues list so we can keep track of things as we flush out the features of each plugin.

Okay, thanks 👍
