App question: Expose file upload

If you're looking for a solution to have file upload on Internet Explorer 8 and 9, we will most likely not going to pursue that because these browser versions are becoming obsolete and we are preparing to retire them anyway.

We can definitely talk about any problems you have on IE10 or later as well as any modern versions of Mozilla, Chrome and Safari.

Hi Liam,

When we created Team Directory application we invested a lot of time researching for file upload shims so that we could make it work in older browsers. We will not support this use cases as IE8 / IE9 are obsolete browsers. Below you can find a list of plugins which might help if necessary:

internet explorer 9 - Javascript file upload - Stack Overflow

HTML5 Cross Browser Polyfills · Modernizr/Modernizr Wiki · GitHub(search for File API)

Event if there are plenty of alternatives for file upload on older browsers they will not be implemented by BC as a standard feature of Open Platform.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Radu

You can do it no problems, I've build BC apps no problems doing what you are suggesting, as RaduCos says take a look at the sample team directory code it gives alot of insight into how to do it.
