Hi

We have prospective who requires files attached with forms (in this case, proably forms for editors) to be saved in database, and not as files in folder.

Wasn´t even aware that it´s possible to do so, but can this be done in Dynamicweb, and if yes - what would it take?

Hi Hans

yes, you can do that with some custom coding. 

Create a notification subscriber using Dynamicweb.Forms.Notifications.Frontend.OnAfterSubmitSave notification, locate the files that were uploaded to disk, and add them to a custom table on the database (you need to use a blob - there are lots of examples if you google how to take a file and add it to a blob field). Link the blob(s) to a submit, and then create a link in the form submit data (and email) that will link to /somethingCustom/getblobFile?id=xyz that will retrieve the blob and send it to the user.
