One can attach a file to an Activity, but is it possible to attach a file to a Contact ? How ?



Then, if the file is an image (jpg or png, ...) how to display it ?



(I am using CiviCRM/Drupal + Webform + Views)

If you use webform and views, create a custom field in CIVIcrm, an image field, it will then be available from the Webform interface to be added.



Then select that particular field to be displayed on the view.

One possibility is to use the Documents extension: https://civicrm.org/extensions/documents. This will allow you to add documents to contacts and show them on a separate tab.

A basic option to store a file is to create a custom field of type File. Not sure how well that plays though with webforms/views but easy enough to try.
