CCK Filefield and drupal_execute
Does anyone know how to create a node with a cck filefield using drupal_execute? I have seen some similar examples, but never with filefield itself, and cannot get it to work...
I've tried this, but something's not working: ($v holds the data for the node)
<?php
$node = array('type' => $node_type, 'name'=>'admin');
$values["field_foo_upload"] = array();
$values["field_foo"] = array(
array(
'description' => $v['original_filename'],
'delete' => 0,
'list' => 1,
'filename' => $v['filename'],
'filepath' => $v['filepath'],
'filemime' => $v['filemime'],
'filesize' => $v['filesize'],
'fid' => 'upload',
'previous_filepath' => $v['filepath'],
));
$res = drupal_execute("{$node_type}_node_form", $values, (object) $node);
?>I've tried mith many combinations similar to this, but never got it to work. Although I've also tried the same approach for imagefield, and it works perfectly... this way:
<?php
$values["field_bar"] = array(
array(
'fid' => 'upload',
'title' => $v['title'],
'filename' => $v['filename'],
'filepath' => $v['filepath'],
'filesize' => $v['filesize'],
),
);
?>but no luck for the filefield... has anyone done this? I've also tried with the standard upload.module attachment, also no luck...
Thanks!
P.S. I've also posted this in http://drupal.org/node/131704 but the conversation about drupal_execute is spread through too many threads... there should be a doc page with all the examples together!

drupal_execute and filefield
I just got this working with this code...
// Move $_FILES around to the way filefield is expecting.
$_FILES['files']['name']['field_filefield_upload'] = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
$_FILES['files']['type']['field_filefield_upload'] = $_FILES['Filedata']['type'];
$_FILES['files']['tmp_name']['field_filefield_upload'] = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$_FILES['files']['error']['field_filefield_upload'] = $_FILES['Filedata']['error'];
$_FILES['files']['size']['field_filefield_upload'] = $_FILES['Filedata']['size'];
// Using the helpful tip from http://drupal.org/node/131704#comment-890095
$node = array('type' => 'content_document');
//Load up the node object for saving
$values = array(
'title' => $_FILES['files']['name']['field_filefield_upload'],
'uid' => 1,//Shouldn't hard code the userid
'name' => 'admin',//Shouldn't hard code the user
'field_filefield_upload' => array(),
);
drupal_execute('content_document_node_form', $values, $node);
filefied and node_save
I had problem with dupal_execute. I used node_save. It worked pretty well.
$node->field_myfileuploadfield[id][description] ='description';$node->field_myfileuploadfield[id][delete] = 0;
$node->field_myfileuploadfield[id]['list'] = 1;
$node->field_myfileuploadfield[id][filename] = $name;
$node->field_myfileuploadfield[id][filepath] = $path;
$node->field_myfileuploadfield[id][filemime] = mimedetect_mime($path);
$node->field_myfileuploadfield[id][fid] = 'upload';
$node->field_myfileuploadfield[id][previous_filepath] = $path;
node_save( $node);
what worked for me
For some reason, when I try this the node and file objects both get saved, but the filefield isn't populated. As a workaround, I was able to manually insert the records in the database table:
<?php
node_save(&$node);
$result = db_query("INSERT INTO {content_type_podcast} (vid, nid, field_audio_fid, field_audio_list, field_audio_data) " .
" VALUES (%d, %d, %d, %d, \"%s\") ", $node->vid, $node->nid, $file->fid, 1, 'a:0:{}');
?>
avoid it
i'd avoid drupal_execute and try this techniques: http://drewish.com/node/120 and http://drupal.org/node/292904
