Storing Prevalue Text Files With IPreValueTextFileStorage
Umbraco Forms contains a built-in
Get value from textfile Prevalue Source Type that stores the uploaded text file into the physical file system (by default in umbraco\Data\UmbracoForms\PreValueTextFiles).You can replace the default implementation by writing your own
IPreValueTextFileStorage and registering that using e.g. builder.Services.AddUnique<IPreValueTextFileStorage, CustomPreValueTextFileStorage>() (in Startup.cs or a composer).You can also use/inherit from
PreValueTextFileSystemStorage to change the underlying IFileSystem that's used to store the prevalue text files.You can use the following composer to move the prevalue text files into the media file system. If the media file system is using Azure Blob Storage, this will remove the files from the local physical file system.
using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Composing;
using Umbraco.Cms.Core.IO;
using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Scoping;
using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Data;
public class PreValueTextFileSystemStorageComposer : IComposer
{
public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
=> builder.Services.AddUnique<IPreValueTextFileStorage>(factory => new PreValueTextFileSystemStorage(
factory.GetRequiredService<MediaFileManager>().FileSystem,
factory.GetRequiredService<IScopeProvider>(),
"PreValueTextFiles"));
}
You need to manually move the existing files from
umbraco\Data\UmbracoForms\PreValueTextFiles to your media storage. The final file path/URL will look like ~/media/PreValueTextFiles/{GUID}/{filename.txt} and be accessible from the browser.First, install Umbraco.StorageProviders.AzureBlob and configure the Forms storage container, for example by adding the following to your
appsettings.json:{
"Umbraco": {
"Storage": {
"AzureBlob": {
"Forms": {
"ConnectionString": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
"ContainerName": "sample-container"
}
}
}
}
}
Next, add the following composer that adds the Forms storage container and stores the prevalue text files into Azure Blob Storage (in
forms/PreValueTextFiles/{GUID}/{filename.txt}):using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Composing;
using Umbraco.Cms.Infrastructure.Scoping;
using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Data;
using Umbraco.StorageProviders.AzureBlob.IO;
public class PreValueTextFileSystemStorageComposer : IComposer
{
public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
=> builder.AddAzureBlobFileSystem("Forms", options => options.VirtualPath = "~/forms")
.Services.AddUnique<IPreValueTextFileStorage>(factory => new PreValueTextFileSystemStorage(
factory.GetRequiredService<IAzureBlobFileSystemProvider>().GetFileSystem("Forms"),
factory.GetRequiredService<IScopeProvider>(),
"PreValueTextFiles"));
}
You need to manually move the existing files from
umbraco\Data\UmbracoForms\PreValueTextFiles to your storage container. If you've disabled public access, the stored files are not accessible from the browser.Last modified 1mo ago
