I have a web form (see dummy example below), it's printed by an agent.
When form is submitted it's processed by an agent (LS).
I do not know how to retrieve files/attachments, that is my problem.
<form name="profile" method="POST" action=".../postAgentName?openagent">
<input name="title"/>
<input name="price"/>
...
<input type="file" name="files" multiple>
</form>
Attachments are not part of DocumentContext as far as I see but only file-names. I kind of suspect files could be temporary uploaded to Domino within request somewhere but really I'm not sure?
Is it possible to get attachments using LotusScript from "files" controller within agent written in LS?
Can somebody point me in right direction? or maybe give a tip what should I do?
Thanks a lot.
I have built my own solution
when we select files on client side - we convert them to base64 with javascript
<form name="formName" method="post" action="agentName?openagent">
<input name="title" value="xxx">
<input type="file" name="files" multiple onchange="toBase64()">
</form>
we add base64 strings to form just like normal so they will be submitted to endpoint (agent)
var reader = new FileReader();
agent will get base64 value and convert it back to file (using LS or Java/LS2J)
Call stream.WriteText(base64File)
Call item.SetContentFromText(stream, contentType, ENC_BASE64)
See details here (could not format properly here):
https://dpastov.blogspot.com/2021/01/how-to-post-attachments-using-form-to.html
To accept files as part of form submission, you have to set the form 'enctype' attribute to handle files:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/x.nsf/x?CreateDocument" name="_fmForm">
Files attached using 'file upload control' (FUC) in Domino will be attached to the document and are accessible via attachment type embedded objects as part of the web-query-save event.
(Note: Generating your own form with a file-upload to Domino is tricky).

In my html in a node application I have a form as follows:
<form action="/getRoute" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name='a' value=<%- array1[0].element1 %>>
<input type="hidden" name='b' value=<%- array2[0].element2 %>>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
When I click submit, the getRoute route is executed successfully (confirmed by console.log statement) - however, I cannot access the values of the hidden input fields by req.body - would anyone know how I can access these, or alternatively use another html element to pass data into the route?
Just found out that you these inputs are passed via the URL and can be accessed by req.query.a and req.query.b - it's not ideal to send sensitive data via get requests since the URL can be seen.
I am developing a system that requires users to upload a document or image together with other input fields. Uploading/inserting the other input fields is success, but can't happen for file
Don't forget the enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form.
<form action="/profile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="avatar" />
</form>

When I submit my Netlify form the server responds with a 200 status and I get the 'thank you' response page. However, when I check the form submission in the Netlify admin, they are all blank. I've inspected my xhr requests and the data shows in the 'params' section of the browser dev tools.
Disclaimer: I work for Netlify.
When our service stores blank submissions, it has not received any fields from the submission which were defined in the html version of the form with the same name parameter in its definition as the submission.
To start off with, it's useful to know that our service requires a plain html version of your form, with a name parameter as well as the netlify or data-netlify=true parameter; this is what prepares your site to accept form submissions at all, so you had that set up right already; if you didn't, you'd get a 404 when POSTing.
Once you have this in a deploy and we parse it correctly, you'll see the form name in your site settings dashboard on the 'Forms' tab. Note that we ALSO pull all the field names we'll save and show to you in notifications or the dashboard from this file and only this file, so make sure you give each form field all a name as well, in that html file.
If you see the form in your dashboard, yet get a blank submission when you are sure data was POSTed, this probably has one of three causes:
Netlify did not correctly process your field names from the html version of your form. The service will only properly handle the fields which we see in that html version at deploy time.
Netlify does matching by field name at submission time, so make sure that what your site sends to us then matches up between with your deployed html copy of the form. This happens automatically for pure html (no JS) forms since you are POSTing from the file which is the canonical "definition" of your form fields; however for javascript forms you need to take care that the names match up. Put another way, you cannot later add new fields dynamically in javascript and send them (Netlify will accept all fields, as you have seen; but will not store them or notify you about ones that were not processed at deploy time!)
One more quirk that could get in the way: having multiple copies of a form with the same name in your deploy. Only one will be processed, so if you happen to have an errant <form name=test netlify></form> in another html file (or even the same one!) - it could be the one that we process rather than the other form also named test. So, make sure that you only send a single html definition of your form. Note that some frameworks like gatsby render your jsx down into html before deploy, meaning that if you have a plain html file form definition in your deploy - it could be processed instead of the copy gatsby built.

I missed the "name" attribute in input field.
Every input in the form must have a "name" attribute. Something like <input name="email" ...> or <textarea name="message" ...> is what you need.
Don't miss the "name" attribute for both parent and child layers
<form name="contact" method="POST" data-netlify="true">
<input type="text" placeholder="name" class="box" name="name">
<input type="email" placeholder="email" class="box" name="email">
<input type="text" placeholder="project" class="box" name="project">
<textarea name="message" id="" cols="30" rows="10" class="box message" placeholder="message"></textarea>
<div class="field">
<div data-netlify-recaptcha="true"></div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn"> send <i class="fas fa-paper-plane"></i> </button>
</form>
I have a multipart data form with mixed type input fields. Something like this.
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/files/upload">
<input name="files" type="file" multiple />
<input name="category" type="text" />
<input name="description" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
This should be pretty common as you'd want to supply some other data along with the actual file upload: group, description etc.
So since this is a multipart form data the usual "getPostParams" is out of the question.
If I handle it normal way with "handleMultipart", it does not even pick up the text fields.
Processing the above form with "handleMultipart" returns me a list with one part instead of three, which means it ignores the text input fields.
Any idea how to deal with it? How would I process the above form?
According to my research, if you mix fields in a multipart form you get an mime encoded message which should still contain all the fields.
Anything in the form that is not a file should be put into rqParams/rqPostParams. If they are not there, then you should submit a bug report. Try to be as detailed as possible.
I am trying to implement a simple form that allows me to add photos to venues (there are 30+). I followed a guide here and changed a few things to match the current api. When I use the uploader, I get the JSON response below. Is everything in order? I am getting a 200 response, but I am not seeing the photos added to their respective venue. I have also included my html for the form I am using to upload, please take a look let me know if anything is wrong. Thanks!
JSON Response:
{"meta":{"code":200},"notifications":[{"type":"notificationTray","item":{"unreadCount":0}}],"response":{"photo":{"id":"502ab14fe4b0ed9600d7722d","createdAt":1344975183,"prefix":"https:\/\/irs3.4sqi.net\/img\/general\/","suffix":"\/atVMrQ02CcgHIamCVmTugx4MCX4hIEVv1lLqbo24cnA.jpg","width":700,"height":525}}}
Form HTMl:
<form action="https://api.foursquare.com/v2/photos/add" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" v="20120809" >
<p>Venue ID: <input type="text" name="venueId"></p>
<p><input type="file" name="photo"></p>
<input type="hidden" name="oauth_token" value="MY OAUTH TOKEN">
<input type="submit">
