Load a file from a filebox
and return the path to it.
This function retrieves the
path to a file which is stored in filebox.
The filebox can be on the details
screen of any type of modul in Seminar Pro (address, event, info, etc)
In the example below we are
looking for a file in a filebox which is used in Events. We pass in the name of
the filebox
as a paramter and also the id
of a specific event. If the parameter FileName
matches with the name of a file in this filebox,
then it is copied from
database to a local temporary folder and the path to it is returned by this
function.
The returned path string can
now be used to attach this file to an email.
