Upload images in questionnaire

Introduction

We have a client who wants respondents to be able to upload images in a questionnaire

Solution

When the recipient open the answersheet to answer, we will create the new folder whose name is recipient's name under the questionnaire then store the images that the he uploads in the image tab of this new created user.

How to do it

Requirement

• The user template must have the navigation access to open the Image tab of the Folder and upload the images in this image tab.

Step 1: Create the group containing the recipients

In the group list, create the group containing the recipients and grant the needed navigation access to this group

Step 2: Create the new folder for the recipient

(You can see the script in the workflow whose resource id is 45408 in cg.catglobe.com)

array para = Workflow_getParameters();
number userId = para[0];

number ImageFolderResourceId = 45406;
number FolderTemplateResourceId = 2071;

array newFolder ;
number userResourceId = User_getResourceIdFromUserId(userId);
array userinfo = User_getUserByResourceId(userResourceId);

string ExistedFolderName = getNameFromResourceUniqueId(ImageFolderResourceId) + "\\"+ userinfo[USER_NAME];
array ExistedFolder = Folder_getFolderByName(ExistedFolderName);

if (ExistedFolder == empty) 
{
newFolder = Folder_new(userinfo[USER_NAME],FolderTemplateResourceId ,ImageFolderResourceId); 
Folder_save(newFolder);
}
else 
{
newFolder = ExistedFolder ;
}
array permissions = {{userId , "FullControl"}};
updateUserPermission(newFolder[FOLDER_RESOURCE_ID], permissions);
string guid = getResourceGuid(newFolder[FOLDER_RESOURCE_ID]);
return getResourceIdFromGuid(guid);

Step 3: Set up the questionnaire

Step 3.1 : Create the dummy question for storing the folder id

We will call the workflow in step 2 to get the new created folder id of recipient

Step 3.2 : Add the following script to the questionnaire

/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Server info
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
var ServerInfo =
{
   "rootPath" : window.location.protocol+"//"+window.location.host
}

var ResourceType =
{
   "Folder":"Folder"
};

// IFrame
//
function IFrame(parentElement)  
{  
   // Create the iframe which will be returned  
   var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");  
  
   // If no parent element is specified then use body as the parent element  
   if(parentElement == null)  
      parentElement = document.body;  
  
   // This is necessary in order to initialize the document inside the iframe  
   parentElement.appendChild(iframe);  

   // Get the document object of the IFrame
   iframe.getDocument = function()
   {
      // Depending on browser platform get the iframe's document, this is only  
      // available if the iframe has already been appended to an element which  
      // has been added to the document  

      var doc;

      if(this.contentDocument)  
         // Firefox, Opera  
         doc = this.contentDocument;  
      else if(this.contentWindow)  
         // Internet Explorer  
         doc = this.contentWindow.document;  
      else if(this.document)  
         // Others?  
         doc = this.document;

      // If we did not succeed in finding the document then throw an exception  
      if(doc == null)  
         throw "Document not found, append the parent element to the DOM before creating the IFrame";

      return doc;
   }

   // Set iframe source
   iframe.setSource = function(src)
   {
      // Set the source
      this.src = src;

      // Initialize the iframe's document
      this.doc = this.getDocument();
 
      // Open and close the iframe's document, this will allow us to manipulate
      // the iframe's contents by script
      iframe.doc.open();  
      iframe.doc.close();  
   }
  // Set iframe source
   iframe.setWidth = function(width)
   {
      // Set the width
      this.width = width;
   }	
  // Set iframe source
   iframe.setHeight = function(height)
   {
      // Set the height
      this.height = height;
   }

   // Initiate the iframe's document property
   iframe.doc = iframe.getDocument();
  
   // Open and close the iframe's document, this will allow us to manipulate
   // the iframe's contents by script
   iframe.doc.open();  
   iframe.doc.close();  
  
   // Return the iframe, now with an extra property iframe.doc containing the  
   // iframe's document  
   return iframe;
