Show node attachments in a block
Last modified: February 21, 2007 - 21:14
If you want to show the attachments of a specific node in a block you can use the following code snippets.
Show attachments in a table:
<?php
// We load the node and the attached files by the nid (here nid = 26)
$files = upload_load(node_load(26));
// and use the themeing function of the upload module to print the attachment table
print theme_upload_attachments($files);
?>Show attachments in a table with mime-type column:
<?php
// We load the node and the attached files by the nid (here nid = 26)
$files = upload_load(node_load(26));
$rows = array();
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ($file->list) {
$href = $file->fid ? file_create_url($file->filepath) : url(file_create_filename($file->filename, file_create_path()));
$text = $file->description ? $file->description : $file->filename;
$mime = strtoupper(substr($file->filemime, strrpos($file->filemime, '/')+1));
$rows[] = array(l($text, $href), format_size($file->filesize), $mime);
}
}
if (count($rows)) {
print theme('table', $header, $rows, array('id' => 'attachments'));
}
?>Show attachments as list:
<?php
// We load the node and the attached files by the nid (here nid = 26)
$files = upload_load(node_load(26));
$rows = array();
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ($file->list) {
$href = $file->fid ? file_create_url($file->filepath) : url(file_create_filename($file->filename, file_create_path()));
$text = $file->description ? $file->description : $file->filename;
$mime = strtoupper(substr($file->filemime, strrpos($file->filemime, '/')+1));
$rows[] = array(l($text, $href), format_size($file->filesize), $mime);
}
}
foreach($rows as $row){
$listBullets .= '<li>'.$row[0].' <small>['.$row[2].', '. $row[1].']</small>'.'</li>';
}
print '<ul>'.$listBullets.'</ul>';
?>I use this code on www.mentavis.com for the download box at the right sidebar.

Show (current) node attachments in a block
The block will appear anytime that a node has attachments. It is based the first of the examples above but sets the $nid automatically.
<?php
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)) && is_null(arg(2))) {
$nid = (int)arg(1);
// We load the node and the attached files by the nid (here nid = $nid)
$files = upload_load(node_load($nid));
// and use the themeing function of the upload module to print the attachment table
$output = theme_upload_attachments($files);
return $output;
}
?>
Block visibility
If you want the block to appear only with listed attachments, put the following code into “Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE” text box:
<?phpif (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$node = node_load(arg(1));
$files = $node->files;
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ($file->list) {
return TRUE;
} else {
return FALSE;
}
}
}
?>
See http://drupal.org/node/124232 for another way round to move the uploaded files table into a block.

Block visibility with multiple files.
If there is one or more listed attachment. (Fixed snippet, if the first attachment was not listed it didn't show the block).
<?php
$file_existeix=0;
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$node = node_load(arg(1));
$files = $node->files;
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ($file->list) {
$file_existeix++;
}
}
}
if ($file_existeix) {
return TRUE;
} else {
return FALSE;
}
?>
Thanks for the above code, I
Thanks for the above code, I thought it was working great - but it actually creates the following error when you disable file attachments for a node type:
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/annalin1/public_html/includes/common.inc(1642) : eval()'d code on line 6.This is what my watchdog highlighted but I'm not so great at php so I can't really help, but if it helps others not to use unless they can alter or will always have attached files:
Offending code == files; foreach ($files as $file) { if ($file->list) { $file_existeix++; } } } if ($file_existeix) { return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; } ?>You can also see: http://drupal.org/node/361622
This should work for you
Hi there,
The error you are receiving is because of a small item missing from the above code. It is trying to loop through an array of items (files), but if the $files variable is empty then it is not an array, so the system will correctly display an error.
If you add an array check then it all works great :) Here is the amended code:
<?php
$file_existeix=0;
if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$node = node_load(arg(1));
$files = $node->files;
if(is_array($files)){
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ($file->list) {
$file_existeix++;
}
}
}
}
if ($file_existeix) {
return TRUE;
} else {
return FALSE;
}
?>
Disabling original list of attachments
I tried the above and have successfully duplicated the attachments list to a block on the left sidebar that only shows when there are attachments in a node. However, how do I get the attachments in normal placement on bottom of page to NOT appear, so content is not duplicated? I tried disabling attachments for the content type, but this make both lists of attachments disappear. What have I missed?
hacked solution
castlebuilder, this may be a hack, but I was able to prevent the normal attachments table from printing by commenting out this line from upload.module.
<?php
function upload_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser) {
switch ($op) {
case 'load':
$output = '';
if (variable_get("upload_$node->type", 1) == 1) {
$output['files'] = upload_load($node);
//return $output;
}
?>
Sorry... I only saw this now.
Sorry... I only saw this now. I used the stylesheet and just set the attachments to:
#attachments {display: none;
}
Which worked for me. Not sure if its more, or less hacky than the other suggestion! But it works :)
Thanks Omar
