Hello- apologies if this was already dealt with or is a known issue- I have search around for awhile and have not seen any confirmation.

Anyway, is the ability to attach audio files to nodes not working in 6.x? I am new to this module and have just installed Drupal 6 along with all the required modules. The Audio module is working brilliantly when I want to create an "audio" content type, however when I try to assign audio to my "story" content type it is not available- I'm following a similar process to how i would hook in something like "image attach". I was expecting to see the ability to enable audio attachments but I am not. If anyone knows if I am missing a step or if it simply is not supported yet in 6 please let me know.

thanks

Hi,

I am also trying to do the same thing. But since it was not possible to attach audio file (we can give a link to already available audio file present on site), I chnage the audio content type itself, and added other fields.

Now, my problem is, that audio upload is a "required thing" and in my content type uploading audio needs to be an optional fields and not cimpulsory one.

I know hacking around the audio module would work, but thats not a good practice, and I am already looking forward to Drupal 7 !! I dont want these peciuliar issues when upgrading the website.

Any help plz!!

ah, it's all via CCK's node reference now. i'd updated part of the readme to explain it but it's not complete. basically add a nodereference field to node type that should reference audio nodes and then use the attach audio widget.

Hi,

I am trying NodeReference, but in Widget Type its showing me only two options - checkboxes and text field. There is no audio attach widget. I have already enabled audio attach module. If I am selecting checkbox, then in Create node, its showing list of audio nodes already created.

So where am I going wrong?

Is it possible to make upload audio field in default audio content type as optional - instead of required one? This would help me in adding more fields to audio node itself and make audio upload optional.

Thanks for all your help.

ah, turns out that the audio_attach.info file was still marked as incompatible with D6. i've fixed that in the latest -dev release but you can edit the file to change:

 ;WAITING ON UPDATE: core = 6.x

to

core = 6.x

then visit admin/build/modules and enable it.

I have all the updated version of the modules, and am just not seeing the Audio widget type. I saw it somewhere, once, but can't remember where to find it. Any help on this? - Thanks, maria

I've been having the same problems too. I'm about to just edit the "Audio" content type to make it do what I want it to. Although every post would have to have a song attached...

Hi there,

I am also struggling with the same problem. Is there a way to do this in Drupal 5?

Hi,

In my last project, I tried hard to make Audio upload fiekd optional. But was not successful. Eventually I had to create two content types - one with audio and another one without audio.

Now I am working on another project, that has lots of fields(including audio upload) where audio upload needs to be optional field (again!!). And this time I don't have the option of creating two seperate content types.

When go to my administrating content type page, it says

Audio files Audio uploads for posts

But I don't see that field when I go to create content page.

Help plz !!
