Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.OK, I must be doing something wrong. Using CCK, I created an embedded audio filefield, which allows for 3rd party links. I can upload files via the upload module. I have SWF Tools installed. But while I can paste in a file path, there's no upload button there to upload directly to that field, so to speak. Any help? I want visitors to be able to play the audio embedded in the page.

quicksketchFileField is not at all related to the Upload module provided by core.

doulos12 commentedRight, but shouldn't filefield be able to upload an audio file (independent of the upload module--I just tried it that way to check my browser and server permissions settings), not just link to a previously uploaded file?

quicksketchFileField does not allow you to link to existing files at all (unless you have FileField Sources installed, which it doesn't sound like you do). You're describing Embedded Media Field, which again, is NOT FileField. FileField is solely intended to upload files and that's the only thing it does. You probably don't have a FileField added at all to your content type.

doulos12 commentedYou're right. It's an embedded media field issue. I have both installed, thus the confusion. Is there a way to integrate the 2, since EMF doesn't upload?
Sorry about the confusion.

quicksketchNo, they're entirely separate. Aaron Winborn and others are trying to resolve this in the Media module, but I think that will only stabilize eventually for D7 because it has better handling of external files.
