Allow files on un-saved submissions to be stored in temporary file scheme.

Created on 10 September 2017, almost 8 years ago

Updated 10 April 2023, over 2 years ago

Currently if the Public file system is in use for the storage webform uploaded files, those files are publicly accessible to those who have know the URL prior to the full submission of the webform.

My client has requested that I investigate an alternative without changing the file system to private.

The incoming patch(es) does the following:
- Adds an option to have the file stored in the temporary scheme prior to submission.
- If option is in use, files are uploaded the `temporary://webform/...`
- If option is in use, upon the full submission, the file is "renamed" and moved to it's final destination.

Patch(es) incoming.

This request seems like an edge case. I don't think we should implement this feature in the core webform module.

My client has requested that I investigate an alternative without changing the file system to private.

I think you can use hook_file_access() to allow anonymous access to private webform files that are permanent.
