One can attach a file to an Activity, but is it possible to attach a file to a Contact ? How ?



Then, if the file is an image (jpg or png, ...) how to display it ?



(I am using CiviCRM/Drupal + Webform + Views)

A basic option to store a file is to create a custom field of type File. Not sure how well that plays though with webforms/views but easy enough to try.

  • It would not cause an issue for either Views or Webform. Ie if the workflow is, look at a view, click through to a Webform, add file ... then that would work just fine. if alternatively you need the View or Webform loading the file then i also don't think that is problematic

One possibility is to use the Documents extension: https://civicrm.org/extensions/documents. This will allow you to add documents to contacts and show them on a separate tab.
