I have edited the Rainlab User plugin to allow for the user to upload a file on the frontend attached to their user profile. Works in the backend but not working on the frontend.

Inside User.php Model

public $attachOne = [
'avatar' => 'System\Models\File',
'id_document' => 'System\Models\File' 
  ];

  /**
   * @var array The attributes that are mass assignable.
   */
  protected $fillable = [
      'name',
      'surname',
      'login',
      'username',
      'email',
      'password',
      'password_confirmation',
      'created_ip_address',
      'last_ip_address',
      'id_document'
  ];

Inside Account.php Component

      public function onSubmit()
          {
              if (!$user = $this->user()) {
                  return;
              }

              $data = post();

              if ($this->updateRequiresPassword()) {
                  if (!$user->checkHashValue('password', $data['password_current'])) {
                      throw new ValidationException(['password_current' => Lang::get('rainlab.user::lang.account.invalid_current_pass')]);
                  }
              }

              if (Input::hasFile('avatar')) {
                  $user->avatar = Input::file('avatar');

              }

              if (Input::hasFile('id_document')) {
                  $user->id_document = Input::file('id_document');
              }

              $user->fill($data);
              $user->save();

              /*
               * Password has changed, reauthenticate the user
               */
              if (array_key_exists('password', $data) && strlen($data['password'])) {
                  Auth::login($user->reload(), true);
              }

              Flash::success(post('flash', Lang::get(/*Settings successfully saved!*/'rainlab.user::lang.account.success_saved')));

              /*
               * Redirect
               */
              if ($redirect = $this->makeRedirection()) {
                  return $redirect;
              }

              $this->prepareVars();
          }

Inside update.htm component

 <form data-request="onSubmit" data-request-files data-request-flash>

  <input type="hidden" name="_handler" value="onSubmit">

   {{ form_token() }}
   {{ form_sessionKey() }}

   <div class="form-group">
    <label for="accountName">Full Name</label>
     <input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" id="accountName" value="{{ user.name }}">
   </div>

   <div class="form-group">
       <label for="accountEmail">Email</label>
       <input name="email" type="email" class="form-control" id="accountEmail" value="{{ user.email }}">
   </div>

   <div class="form-group">
       <label for="accountEmail">ID Document</label>
       <input type="file" name="id_document">
   </div>
   <div class="form-group">
       <label for="accountEmail">Avatar</label>
       <input type="file" name="avatar">
   </div>

   <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Save</button>

 </form>

Result in system_files table when I submit the form

How do I make sure it adds all needed details in order to upload the file. Even the storage does not reflect the file on upload.

Hi kgosikekana!

I think it is not a good idea to edit the user plugin directly, because all your work and changes will be lost as soon as the plugin gets an update. Of course you can exclude it from the updating list, but due to security reasons that's not really recommendable :)

Anyhow I faced the same objectives some days ago and the solution I worked out by the help of mjauvin can be found here: https://octobercms.com/forum/post/how-to-inject-relations-to-rainlabuser

Hope this helps, if not give me a hint.

Best regards
