Set up file upload
The File upload in sessions is a powerful feature in ONevents that allows organizers to upload and share files during an ongoing session. This gives organizers the flexibility to create interactive and dynamic meetings by integrating relevant documents, presentations, or media directly into the session. This allows all participants to access the files they need and enhances real-time collaboration. In this article, we explain how file uploading works in session buckets, how to enable it, and what benefits it offers for your events.
Prepare buckets for files #
To enable file upload in a session, you must first “Buckets” the function “Entries have files” This enables uploading and managing files within the session.
This activates file management within the sessions and files can now be uploaded for the respective entries.
Prepare presentation template #
In “Template: Files” the template for displaying the files can be customized.
Available placeholders for displaying the files are:
$FILES$.%NAME%
$FILES$.SCRIPTION%
$FILES$.%DOWNLOAD_COUNT%
$FILES$.$ICON
$FILES$.$HREFDisplay files in sessions and items #
The placeholder $Files$ displays the files in the templates. The template: Files is rendered for each file.
This feature adds a dynamic and interactive touch to sessions by allowing seamless integration of resources and materials. This promotes real-time collaboration between participants, which is especially beneficial for interactive meetings, training sessions, or workshops.
