Step 1:
Add the below code to template.php which replaces the delete checkbox with remove link.
<?php
function phptemplate_upload_form_current($form) {
$header = array('', t('Delete'), t('List'), t('Description'), t('Weight'), t('Size'));
drupal_add_tabledrag('upload-attachments', 'order', 'sibling', 'upload-weight');
foreach (element_children($form) as $key) {
// Add class to group weight fields for drag and drop.
$form[$key]['weight']['#attributes']['class'] = 'upload-weight';
$row = array('');
$form[$key]['remove']['#type'] = 'hidden';
$form[$key]['remove']['#attributes'] = array('class' => 'remove');
$form[$key]['remove']['#suffix'] = ' ' . t('<a class="remove" href="#">'.t('Remove').'</a>');
$row[] = array(
'data' => drupal_render($form[$key]['remove']),
'class' => 'remove container-inline'
);
$row[] = drupal_render($form[$key]['list']);
$row[] = drupal_render($form[$key]['description']);
$row[] = drupal_render($form[$key]['weight']);
$row[] = drupal_render($form[$key]['size']);
$rows[] = array('data' => $row, 'class' => 'draggable');
}
$output = theme('table', $header, $rows, array('id' => 'upload-attachments'));
$output .= drupal_render($form);
return $output;
}
?>Step 2:
Create a js file and place it with the
if (Drupal.jsEnabled) {
Drupal.behaviors.modulename = function (context) {
$('#upload-attachments a.remove', context).click(function() {
var removeuploadedfile = function(data) {
var result = Drupal.parseJson(data);
$('#attach-wrapper').html(result['data']);
Drupal.attachBehaviors(result['settings']);
Drupal.attachBehaviors(document, Drupal.settings);
}
$(this).parent('td').parent('tr').html('Removing...');
$(this).parent('td').children('input .remove').val(1);
$.post('/removeattachment/js', $("#node-form").serialize(), removeuploadedfile);
return false;
});
}
}Step 3:
Create a module to handle the remove request.
<?php
/**
* Implementation of hook_menu()
*/
function modulename_menu() {
$items['removeattachment/js'] = array(
'page callback' => 'modulename_remove_attachment',
'access arguments' => array('create ipaper'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);
return $items;
}
/**
* Implementation of hook_form_alter()
* @param <array> $form
* @param <array> $form_state
* @param <string> $form_id
*/
function modulename_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', modulename') .'/modulename.js');
}
/**
* Remove files attached in forms
*/
function modulename_remove_attachment() {
$cached_form_state = array();
$files = array();
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'modulename') .'/modulename.js');
// Load the form from the Form API cache.
if (!($cached_form = form_get_cache($_POST['form_build_id'], $cached_form_state)) || !isset($cached_form['#node']) || !isset($cached_form['attachments'])) {
form_set_error('form_token', t('Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.'));
$output = theme('status_messages');
print drupal_to_js(array('status' => TRUE, 'data' => $output));
exit();
}
$form_state = array('values' => $_POST);
// Handle new uploads, and merge tmp files into node-files.
upload_node_form_submit($cached_form, $form_state);
if(!empty($form_state['values']['files'])) {
foreach ($form_state['values']['files'] as $fid => $file) {
if (isset($cached_form['#node']->files[$fid])) {
if($form_state['values']['files'][$fid]['remove'] == 1) { //Check whether the file remove link is clicked
unset($files[$fid]);
unset($cached_form['#node']->files[$fid]);
}
else {
$files[$fid] = $cached_form['#node']->files[$fid];
}
}
}
}
$node = $cached_form['#node'];
$node->files = $files;
$form = _upload_form($node);
unset($cached_form['attachments']['wrapper']['new']);
$cached_form['attachments']['wrapper'] = array_merge($cached_form['attachments']['wrapper'], $form);
$cached_form['attachments']['#collapsed'] = FALSE;
form_set_cache($_POST['form_build_id'], $cached_form, $cached_form_state);
foreach ($files as $fid => $file) {
if (is_numeric($fid)) {
$form['files'][$fid]['description']['#default_value'] = $form_state['values']['files'][$fid]['description'];
$form['files'][$fid]['list']['#default_value'] = !empty($form_state['values']['files'][$fid]['list']);
$form['files'][$fid]['remove']['#default_value'] = !empty($form_state['values']['files'][$fid]['remove']);
$form['files'][$fid]['weight']['#default_value'] = $form_state['values']['files'][$fid]['weight'];
}
}
// Render the form for output.
$form += array(
'#post' => $_POST,
'#programmed' => FALSE,
'#tree' => FALSE,
'#parents' => array(),
);
drupal_alter('form', $form, array(), 'upload_js');
$form_state = array('submitted' => FALSE);
$form = form_builder('upload_js', $form, $form_state);
$output = theme('status_messages') . drupal_render($form);
// We send the updated file attachments form.
// Don't call drupal_json(). ahah.js uses an iframe and
// the header output by drupal_json() causes problems in some browsers.
$js_settings = drupal_add_js(NULL,NULL,'header');
print drupal_to_js(array('status' => TRUE, 'data' => $output,'settings' => call_user_func_array('array_merge_recursive', $js_settings['setting'])));
exit;
}
?>Clear the Cache and enable the module. If you attach any file it will provide you remove link instead of checkbox.
