How do I write the attachments path in a template? [#310013]

First of all, I'm using drupal 6.
I'm creating one template and I need to write the path of the files from node attachments.
The Content Template module shows something like "$node->files[1290]->filepath" but the id (1290) is unique and not related to the node id.
I tried many drupal 5 and 4.7 solutions found in this site but none did work.

The id will be either the file id, or the file revision id, depending on version or something...
But who cares?

You'll probably be wanting something like:

foreach((array)$node->files as $fileobj){
print( l($fileobj->filepath, $fileobj->filepath));
}

(untested)

if you could post the section of your body variables that pertains to the files, I would help us help you. Please post it in <code> tags

use code like this:

foreach ($node->files as $key => $value) {
   //  the key will be the file id, i.e. 1289 and $value will be the file object
   //  the file path is given in $node->file[$key]->filepath
   //  which is the same as $value->filepath
   //  once you have the filepath (relative to the Drupal install) you can either
   print '<a href="'. url($value->filepath) .'">Download the file ('. $value->description .')</a>';
   // or
   print l('Download the file:'. $value->description, $value->filepath)
}

the l function will return a link based on the path, the url function will just return a URL, not the whole link.

Great I was trying to work this out too, it's not obvious! However, can you tell me how I might adjust this for just one node with one attachment. Is there a quick way to just grab the $key value, without the for loop?

Thanks

you could use array_keys()

// the array_keys() function returns an array of the keys, the first [0] item in 
// this array will be the key for the first file (at least it should be)
$keys = array_keys($node->files);
print l('Download the file:'. $node->files[$keys[0]]->description, $node->files[$keys[0]]->filepath)

this is pseudo code, it has not been tested

Keep the foreach. It's more robust code, as I would not trust the index being zero, or array_pop returning right in the case of no files.
using a foreach will loop over zero, one, or more the same way.
If it bothers you, just break; out of the first successful loop.
