Allow Guest users to add attachments on Catalog Items/Record Producers

[JagjeetSingh]

If you are looking to allow guest users to add attachments on record producer or catalog item. Check out my solution on below link.

Attachments for Guest Users || Catalog Items & Record Producer

The widget uses GlideSysAttachment API to create and delete attachments for guest users.

Features:

• Guest users can add attachments to record producers/Catalog items.
• The customized section is only visible to guest users. Logged in user continues to use the OOB functionality.
• Admin can control the file extensions allowed for guest users.
• Attachment size limit is set to 5 MB but can be changed.
• User can remove attachments as well.
• Multiple attachments can be loaded at once.
• Loaded attachments are associated with created record.
• The widget uses GlideSysAttachment API to add and delete attachments.
• Works both in scoped and global apps.

Interesting solution, but did you consider the consequences?

It would be very easy to launch a script-based attack that floods your instance with requests and file attachments.

At the very least, you should point out that a captcha should be built in for guest users to make sure that a human and not a machine is performing the upload.

Kind regards

Thank you for pointing that out Maik.

I'll add this in the project description on developer portal. Here everyone is going to read your comment anyways. 😄

I am working on next version with Google reCAPTCHA enabled for public users. Stay tuned.

hey, this is a great feature.

Have you been able to get the Google reCAPTCHA integration

[JagjeetSingh]

Yeah I did that but lost my progress because my PDI was reclaimed. I am again going to build that part.

[TStark]

Yes, PLEASE let us know when you get the reCAPTCHA working!

@JagjeetSingh Did you ever get the Google reCAPTCHA to work? 🙂
