I created a views from a CCK type. The CCK Type has a filefield, called field_hplbl_file. The views is displayed as a table. I'm using this file to theme the field output: views-view-field--file-list--field-hplbl-file-fid.tpl.php

The tpl.php file is being loaded properly, but I somehow can't access the variable $field. In my understand and what I see from views-view-field.tpl.php this should be the way to go.

When I access $row I get some values, but my file is not in there :( I guess I could use something like node_load($nid) and access the files, but this is not really clean and a waste of ressources.

In my understanding there must be some bug. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This is a filefield issue. Note that on the Filefield project page it plainly says filefield for D6 is still under development and not ready.

Been trying to track this one down for a few days now.

I'm trying to use the value of the filefield in a views-view-field--....tpl.php file, and use it as the source for a mini media player, so each item in a list of audio files has a "play" button instead of a link to the file.

I guess this has been the source of my frustration! In the mean time I'll just either use strip_tags or parse the $output.

In my views-view-field--....tpl.php file, I used this in order to get the file fid from my filefield cck field:

$fields['myfieldname_fid']->content;

And from there you can use field_file_load... Or you could try making a proper formatter for you playlist..
