One quick solution is to rewrite Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Option_Type_File class and change validateUserValue() function.
around line 129, replace
$fileInfo = $this->_getCurrentConfigFileInfo();
with
$fileInfo = null;
if (isset($values[$option->getId()]) && is_array($values[$option->getId()])) {
// Legacy style, file info comes in array with option id index
$fileInfo = $values[$option->getId()];
} else {
/*
* New recommended style - file info comes in request processing parameters and we
* sure that this file info originates from Magento, not from manually formed POST request
*/
$fileInfo = $this->_getCurrentConfigFileInfo();
}
but its old code and will have APPSEC-1079 security issue.
and to download image this uploaded image in order detail etc. add this function in same model class.
/**
* changed the image save address as we are saving image in custom
* Main Destination directory
*
* #param boolean $relative If true - returns relative path to the webroot
* #return string
*/
public function getTargetDir($relative = false)
{
$fullPath = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'custom';
return $relative ? str_replace(Mage::getBaseDir(), '', $fullPath) : $fullPath;
}
