Use of Core Upload module with node.save

I found it actually concerns only modules who modify data directly in the object loaded with node_load() before saving it with node_save(). Other modules (like CCK) act on the [#post] data of the form.

The service module needs a patch to be able to handle the upload module (or any module like this one). I'll make one and post it here as soon as I can.

The patch will modify the services module, in the node_service.inc file - node_service_save function. I will scan the $edit data to find a flag. If the flag exist, I will replace the data of the flagged structure directly in the $node structure (to reproduce the upload module behavior).

Since it was requested by someone, I uploaded the patch for the Upload Module. This patch will not work with other modules using Services. Although you can probably make a tweak for your purposes (it is quite a simple patch...)

You then feed the [files] structure with extended data. The next snippet of code was taken from the project I am working on, that will be release as a module for Drupal really soon, called "abCparti" it replicates the Drupal behavior but on a Flash app. :

if(this.files != null){
unObjet.files = new Array();
for(i = 0; i < this.files.length; i++){
if(this.files[i] != null && this.files[i].nid == 0){
var unFichier:Array = new Array();
unFichier['filename'] = this.files[i].filename;
unFichier['filepath'] = this.files[i].filepath;
unFichier['filemime'] = this.files[i].filemime;
unFichier['source'] = "upload"; // On utilise le module upload
unFichier['destination'] = this.files[i].filepath;
unFichier['filesize'] = this.files[i].filesize;
unFichier['uid'] = this.uid;
unFichier['timestamp'] = this.files[i].timestamp;
unFichier['fid'] = this.files[i].fid;
unFichier['list'] = 1; // 1 car on veux qu'il apparaisse avec un node.get
unFichier['description'] = this.files[i].filename;
unFichier['weight'] = 0; // Poid entre les attachements, ordre d'apparence
unFichier['new'] = 1;
unObjet.files[this.files[i].fid] = unFichier;
}else if(this.files[i] != null && this.files[i].nid != 0){
var unFichier:Array = new Array();
unFichier['fid'] = this.files[i].fid;
unFichier['uid'] = this.uid;
unFichier['filename'] = this.files[i].filename;
unFichier['filepath'] = this.files[i].filepath;
unFichier['filemime'] = this.files[i].filemime;
unFichier['filesize'] = this.files[i].filesize;
unFichier['status'] = this.status;
unFichier['timestamp'] = this.files[i].timestamp;
unFichier['vid'] = this.vid;
unFichier['list'] = 1; // 1 car on veux qu'il apparaisse avec un node.get
unFichier['description'] = this.files[i].filename;
//unFichier['nid'] = this.nid;
unFichier['weight'] = 0; // Poid entre les attachements, ordre d'apparence
unObjet.files[this.files[i].fid] = unFichier;
}
}
