Incompatible with FileField_Sources module

I take a look next week sometime.

I'm thinking about changing the way the module works to use the new cck 2.5 hook_fields_alter(). This would allow the module to extend the filefield features list without requiring any new special widgets, then everything else would just work with no special tricks in the background. If you know of any issues related to the integration, can you list these, it will save me some time when I get a chance to look at this.

Cheers

There appears to be a simple internal solution via FileField Sources itself, although I haven't tried it. See #541220: Allow custom filefield widgets to use filefield sources

Reopen & transfer back if there is no progress at a later date.

@ If widget is removed, what about old CCK FileField_Sources fields ?

There will be a extended period where both forms (an altered ImageField and the existing widget). During this time both version would have the same functionality and would not conflict

@ When a CCK field is created, it is impossible to change its widget.

Nope. You can change the widget. The only limitations are that you can not change the field type and field name.

I'm extremely busy with other work ATM, can you direct me to either the exact procedure required or supply a patch to review. The other issue should mean that there is no changes required on this side, unless they implemented another strategy for the integration.

So if there is automatic integration, and this is not working, this is a bug in filefield sources. If it requires coding at this end then it is a feature request in the IF extended queue.

Thx

At the very end of your copy try pasting in the following code:

<?php

/**
 * Implementation of hook_filefield_sources_widgets().
 */
function imagefield_extended_filefield_sources_widgets() {
  return array('imagefield_extended_widget');
}

?>

and if that doesn't work, try the following:

<?php
/**
 * Implementation of hook_filefield_sources_widgets().
 */
function imagefield_extended_filefield_sources_widgets() {
  return array('imagefield_extended');
}

?>

I haven't a testing environment, so I can not test myself. The top version is committed in dev and will get packaged in the next 24 hours sometime. Report back and I'll push this through into a new version asap

Thanks

imagefield_extended.module :)

No worries. I'll give it a few days before tagging a new release.

Thanks for the feedback.

When utilizing filefield_sources to reference an existing file that has data associated with it from imagefield_extended, is the data from the referenced file supposed to populate the imagefield_extended fields on the new (referencing) field along with the file?

I see that the widgets for imagefield_extended are being created correctly when used with filefield_sources, but data from the widgets is not being pulled from the referenced file — is this the expected behavior?

yes
