Background

The resume upload module is a custom Drupal module that I developed to allow users to upload their resumes to their website. The module provides a form where users can submit their resume files along with some additional information like their first name, last name, and email address. The uploaded resumes are then stored as files in Drupal's file system, and the form data is used to create new nodes of a custom content type called "Resume."

Problem It Solves

The resume upload module addresses the need for users to submit their resumes conveniently through their website. By providing a dedicated form for resume uploads, it streamlines the process for users and make it easier for them to provide their information. Additionally, by saving the uploaded resumes as files and creating corresponding nodes, you centralize and organize the resume data within Drupal, making it easier to manage and access the submitted resumes.

What did I do?

I developed the resume upload module from scratch, starting with creating a custom form using Drupal's Form API. I implemented the necessary form validation and submission handling logic to process the uploaded file and save it as a permanent file entity in Drupal. I also utilized Drupal's Node API to create new nodes of the "Resume" content type and populate the relevant fields with the submitted form data, including the uploaded file.
