Any change on integrating webfm popup? :-D
#1
As far as I can tell, WebFM does not have any capability to work with FileField. FileField is absolutely dependent on modules storing entries in the core "files" table. WebFM for some reason maintains its own table, "webfm_file". Because FileField is dependent on the files table for nearly everything (insert, update, load, display), integration with webfm doesn't seem feasible. It seems like something that would be considered a bug in webfm honestly, the Drupal 6 files table was abstracted from nodes specifically for the purpose of allowing all modules to manage their files there.

I opened #446818: Use the Drupal "files" Table for file records for the WebFM folks to take a look at. Until this is implemented, integration between WebFM and FileField is not possible.
