Ability to add files

This would be a nice extension.

But could you get me some code example. I haven't done any file upload yet in code that is.

If you could find a code example which copies files from /tmp into drupal file system and then returns a file id that would be great.

We do not need a bulk file upload in a node_factory php script. The script is running on the server so there is no need to upload anything. The files are placed somehow in a working directory. Does that make sense?

Cheers

Here's a snippet for the D6 version. This won't work for D5. Add into your node_factory.module in the node_factory_set_value function.

case 'filefield':
 // Should be an array of $paths = array('/file/one.txt', '/file/two.txt');
$paths = $value;
$value = array();
foreach($paths as $path) {
   $validators = filefield_widget_upload_validators($field);
   $files_path = filefield_widget_file_path($field);
   $value[] = field_file_save_file($path, $validators, $files_path, FILE_EXISTS_RENAME);
}
break;

You can use the code like this

$edit = node_factory_create_node('ov_windows');
$files = array('/tmp/blankfile.exe', '/tmp/me.exe');
node_factory_set_value( $edit, 'field_file', $files);
$node_return = node_factory_save_node( $edit);

I've added a bunch of things to my node_factory.module which I'll release once I settle up everything, but posting this snippet for people who can use it in the mean time.

If you're looking for a D5 version, you can take the D5 snippets from here and modify my code to make it work: http://drupal.org/node/201594

Nice code ... I hope to have some time to check this code and to commit this.

There is on 'flaw' in that filefield will be the only field that supports multiple values :( Can we fix this for other fields too?

What "flaw" are you talking about. My code allows for multiple files to get attached into the field.
