Question regarding uploading a document from a contact page

I've been doing a lot searching on the boards and the help files for information regarding adding something to the contact page. I wanted to add the ability for users to upload and store documents to a contact page. I work for a staffing agency and documentation are a major part as it's hospital related. So, we need to have a more detailed document storage then the "attachment and notes" section that comes standard with contacts.

While I've found a lot of information I must say it's been a little hard for me to understand it all. I thought I would start here. Perhaps even some helpful link on where to start reading more of this kind information.

Apex Class: lines not being tested

I'm currently trying to add this Apex class:
public with sharing class FileUploadController {
	
	public Document document {
		get {
			if (document == null)
			document = new Document(); 
			return document;
		}
		set;
	}
	public PageReference upload() {
		document.AuthorId = UserInfo.getUserId();
		document.FolderId = UserInfo.getUserId(); // put it in running user's folder
		
		try {
			insert document;
			}catch (DMLException e) {
				ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'Error uploading file'));
				return null;
			}finally {
				document.body = null; // clears the viewstate 
				document = new Document(); 
			}
			ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.INFO,'File uploaded successfully')); 
			return null;
	}
}

 

 

When I try to test the class, it will say that it's skipped 17 of the 27 lines. I'm obviously a little new to this. What could I have done wrong?

I'm trying to create an upload button based on this helpful tool here: http://developer.force.com/cookbook/recipe/uploading-a-document-using-visualforce-and-a-custom-controller
What I hope to do in the end is add an upload button on a "contacts'" page.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Creating a document storage to imbed into contacts

Hello everyone,

 

I had a question, or one that may turn into a series of questions, I'm currently working for a staffing agency that deals with Hospitals. It is very important for the documentation of the nurses we staff to be up-to-date and also have queries running to insure that they stay that way. (Certain certs will become invalid after say 60 days, we can't place someone with invalid documentation etc.)

 

I haven't been able to find a way using the basic form of Salesforce to create this. I wanted to start the process of creating one using the tools found here. I was curious, and I'll be doing my own searches as well, if anyone had any information or even past board post on creating such a thing. I'm currently powering through some of the beginner documentation available, but if anyone could share any other links or bastions of knowledge that may be helpful.

 

The picture we have is: A imbedded app located in the contacts' profile that will show stored documentation. In this embedded app is a place to upload several different docs that the recruiters gather from the nurses (the person we staff). Next to the file is a date of when the cert will expire.


I would be extremely open to any suggestions or thoughts on this. Thank you so much. So far the Salesforce community has been amazing.
