Custom value API on file fields
April 23, 2014, 04:00:36 am
Hey Folks,

Is it possible to use the custom value API or the custom_n= notation when the field is a File upload field?
I want to attach files to the field which comes from an external source within my extension.

Hi Jaap,
Seems no-one replied to your original question but I think I'm looking for the same thing.
I have a file uploaded via a drupal webform which I also want to upload into a custom field in CiviCRM - did you work out a way to do this using the CiviCRM api?

Thanks
Russ

Hey Russ,

I ended up using drupal hooks for form submission and then check for any fileupload field and then save the file from there into civicrm with File BAO.

You can see my code on github: https://github.com/CiviCooP/org.civicoop.documents/blob/master/drupal/webform_civicrm_documents/webform_civicrm_documents.module and the actuall handling code on https://github.com/CiviCooP/org.civicoop.documents/blob/master/drupal/webform_civicrm_documents/WebformCiviCRMDocuments.inc
