Hi All,

I'm looking for a way to upload fiiles to a drupal site via a web service (from a AIR/ flex application actually) and I after some digging, I don't see anything on the forums or in the contributed modules that addresses this, so I though I'd post before we go ahead and develop a module to do this.

The module would, very simply:
- allow basic management of files from an external client application (I'm working on an AIR application) to drupal via a web service.
- basically need upload, delete + something to list contents of a directory, simple creation date etc.
- not need to provide download as I'm not planning to restrict access to these files.

And my AIR (flex) client would allow drag and drop management of (certain) files on a drupal site from teh desktop (and would also be open source).

So my questions are

1. Does anything to provide this functionality exist already?
2. If not, are there any contributed modules I should check out and consider using/ supporting (webFM?)
2. would anyone be interested in using such a module & client?
3. Anyone interested in helping to develop such service module?

Thanks!

Ian,

this sounds like a brilliant project to me! The whole AIR framework seems to create great opportunities when coupled with a CMS framework like Drupal. Unfortunately I cannot assist you with any help but can only reaffirm my serious interest in the project you have described.
How can I best keep updated about what's currently going on with AIR & Drupal?

Hi,

I am developing an Air Application for Drupal. I am using services module(version 6) and amfphp module(v.6) for that. I am also using the amfphp service for the remote access. When i create web application i am able to update the data in the drupal database. Its working good. But when i create Air Application, it shows some error like send failed . Its not even retrieve the data from the drupal database.
I think the problem is in "services-config.xml".

Can u help me please!!!!!

Thank U... Expecting your Reply...

We did it at lp33.tv with drupal 6, amfphp, flex + remoteobjects talking to services we exposed
(easy to do) through custom drupal modules as well as some built-in services (like user/roles) of
respective modules we were using like video. We used and still use code derived from the coding cowboys
flex custom file uploader class talk through remote objects to amfphp and thereby drupal services core.

hope that helps
