Link: https://support.brilliantdirectories.com/support/solutions/articles/12000026216
The Member Upload CV or Brochure field is a tool for members to upload files. The uploaded file is displayed through a link on the Member's public profile.
The files supported by the member upload tool are:
- Images (JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, WEBP)
- PDFs
- Word documents
- Excel documents
- PowerPoint documents
IMPORTANT - The tool only supports:
- Files that are 10 MB or less.
- By default, this field is only supported in the "Listing - Additional Details - Member" form. To add it to other forms, the File Uploads for Forms add-on is required.
Note: although the upload button reads "Please select an image or PDF file," all of the file types listed above are accepted. This button text is a label and can be changed (see "How to Edit the Current Text of These Fields" below).
How to Upload a File
Go to the Member's Listing Details tab and click on "Please select an image or PDF file":
After the file is uploaded, a "1" appears next to the button text, indicating that a file has been attached. Scroll down and save the changes:
How to Remove a File
The file uploaded can be deleted by clicking on the Remove CV option:
Which will prompt a confirmation alert:

Add the following details:
- Additional Field CSS Class —
filestyle_uploadcv - Outer Element ID — This ID must be unique for each CV field. Do not use
