Multiple document attachments for a person

Have any of you created a block that allows multiple files to be linked to a person?  Like a grid that displays a list of document associated with a person; with a plus for adding files.  Very similar to the "Binary File List" block but with a person in context.  I'm thinking about creating one but seems like it would be a fairly common need, so I thought I'd check with you all to see if any of you already have one.

    Cool! Hopefully this would be something you would consider adding to the Rock Store once that is up and running.

    I know this is very different from what you are looking for but what we did was create an extended attribute for any type of file we would want to upload on people. I know every organization is different but I would prefer to have our guard rails or else people could end up with a lot of clutter in their files.

      for a single file? or do you have that working with multiple files? essentially we would use it for pastoral care documentation; meaning, it would be secured and limited to the pastoral care team. it would be a set of documents. something like the "background check document" person attribute doesn't work because it's only a single document.


      The "Images" on the Transaction Detail block kinda does what we'd need but it's not a separate block. I could mimic that behavior in a custom developed block but if anyone already has a solution, I'd love to see it.

      Hmm. What we did might not work. We have a set of documents we upload as people go though our assimilation process (partnership covenant, leadership honor code...). There is only one copy of each. I was thinking you wanted to store something like that.


      PS. I see you can now comment.
