Adding Audio Files to Database via User Input?

I’ve added an audio file field to my database. Now I want to add a User Input upload button on a form I’m building to have users add mp3 files via upload that would then go to my audio field.

The problem is that with the upload button only supports 1. Images, 2. Videos, and 3. Documents. Surely there should be an option for Audio if that’s one of the fields we can add to a database.

It’s a long thread here: https://www.wix.com/corvid/forum/community-feature-request/use-mp3-file-in-a-database - but it’s coming. :slight_smile: I poked my boy Rob to see if he can chime in with an update.

Thanks! I read that thread prior to posting mine. It seemed to deal more with getting wix to support audio files in the database…which they have. It just seems they would also build a way for people to upload via a user input function.

Keep me posted.

Update: It is possible to upload mp3s into the corvid DB. You can upload them to the media manager and then assign them to a field in Corvid. We don’t have integration with the upload button - meaning users cannot upload yet - but ::shhh:: it’s planned to be implemented. =)

Keep us posted. It will be great once users can upload using a user input upload button. Thanks Brett.

@brett-haralson BUMPETY BUMP! Any progress on this? Man…is this important for three sites I’m building (and more to come).

This isn’t a complete solution…but a first step that would be nice is if an mp3 file could be uploaded into a live database.

Also need this urgently.

@brett-haralson Any progress on this?

I was under the impression this was in the works (a number of months ago). Has there been any progress made?

@shannon64283 I will follow up with my contact on this. Sorry for the delayed response my friend.

@brett-haralson Any word yet?

It’s possible - but it requires custom code. What you are wanting - an option from
WIX - isn’t available just yet. I did email internally, let me bump it.

Thanks Brett! Obviously, a user input field that would allow users to upload an audio file is the “dream” for me, but right now…a stopgap that would be AMAZING is for a client to login to their dashboard, go to the particular database, click on the files field and add an audio file (mp3). That would solve so many holdups for me with clients.

Hi @shannon64283 ,
Pleased to share that this feature is now under development, and if everything goes according to plan it should be available before the end of the month.

@shannon64283
OK, maybe not exactly “before the end of the month”, but this feature is now available: https://www.wix.com/corvid/forum/corvid-tips-and-updates/new-feature-upload-audio-files-with-the-upload-button.

Our apologies for the inconveniences incurred.
Hope at least it was worth the wait.

Very nice!!!

@eyalc Thanks for the update!

THANK YOU WIX! This is a huge help and a feature that will serve us well.
