Features
--------

[](#features)

- API and UI for attaching files and other entities
- Form input for uploading file attachments
- Views for displaying attachments

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Magic

[](#magic)

If you add your entity subtype to a list of entities supporting attachments, the plugin will attempt to create all of the UI, necessary to upload and display attachments:

```
elgg_register_plugin_hook_handler('allow_attachments', 'object:my_subtype', '\Elgg\Values::getTrue');
```

Note that this generic approach might not work with all plugins, and may require additional customizations on your side.

### Display an attachment input

[](#display-an-attachment-input)

```
echo elgg_view('input/attachments');
```

To add an attachments input to your comment and discussion replies forms, use the following code. You will not need to add any code to your save action.

```
echo elgg_view('input/attachments', [
	'name' => 'comment_attachments',
		]);
```

To add an attachments input to your personal messages and replies forms, use the following code. You will not need to add any code to your save action.

```
echo elgg_view('input/attachments', [
		'name' => 'message_attachments',
	]);
```

Note that if you are not using *hypeDropzone*, your form must have it's encoding set to `multipart/form-data`.

### Attach uploaded files in an action

[](#attach-uploaded-files-in-an-action)

```
hypeapps_attach_uploaded_files($entity, 'upload', [
   'access_id' => $entity->access_id, // change the access level of uploaded files
]);
```

### Attach an object

[](#attach-an-object)

```
hypeapps_attach($entity, $attachment);
```

### Display attachments

[](#display-attachments)

```
```php
echo elgg_view('output/attachments', [
	'entity' => $entity,
]);
```
