Attachment Upload extension allows users to drop files directly from the file managers to Work Item Form via Drag&Drop.
Functionality:
- This feature uses HTML5 File API and is compatible with all modern browsers.
- The extension is checking if File API is enabled and warns user if support is not provided.
- Extension is rendering a small drop-box control, where the file drops are expected.
- When the file is successfully uploaded, you'll see a confirmation message.
- You may drop several files at once, they will be processed sequentially
- ...only confirmation of the last file upload will be shown afterwards
- If there were any errors - you'll see a warning message about it.
Restrictions:
- If there was already a file with this name in attachment, Polarion will create a new attachment with the same label (different name in storage) - only a warning will be shown by the extension
- When upload is complete, you'd need to refresh Work Item form to see it (no automatic refresh of the screen)
Installation Instructions:
- Extract attached archive into following folder:
-
<polarion install folder>/polarion/extensions
- as result, file paths should look like:
-
<polarion install folder>\polarion\extensions\com.polarion.attachmentupload\
eclipse\plugins\com.polarion.attachmentupload_1.0.0\attachmentupload.jar
-
- Restart Polarion
- Include reference to the extension in the Form Layout configuration settings
- (Administration -> Work Items -> Form Configuration -> Form Layout Configuration)
-
<extension id="attachmentupload" label="Attachment Uploader"/>
- where "id" must be "attachmentupload" and "label" will appear as title of the panel
