File field type

This gave me an error on the component that was there so I set it to general...

Anyway, I'm just wondering what the status is on this? I need a file field type to be able to use CCK and I'm chomping at the bit. I apologize if this is discussed in another issue as search wasn't getting me anywhere and visually searching the issues got me this old one.

Thanks,

Michelle

Would also like to know what is the status of this.

Much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm willing to chip in a bit of cash to get this going - is anyone else?

any idea if there is any movement on this?

My understanding is that dopry didn't like the filesystem as it exists and is making a new one and so this is waiting for that to be done. I get the feeling it's not coming very soon, unfortunately.

Michelle

thanks for letting me know, guess we'll just have to wait till he does his excellent brand of magic!

In the mean time, flexinode works and has the ability to add file fields. And now there's talk that flexinode may not be a dead end after all. So I'm just going to keep using flexinode until/if CCK gets sorted out.

Actually, unless I'm mistaken, currently flexinode for drupal 4.7 (and 4.6, for that matter) does not include a file field, though it appears that it is still in head.

I've been using the file field in flexinode on 4.7 and before that 4.6 for quite some time, so it definitely has one and it works. It's why I still have flexinode installed on my system along with CCK. I need to be able to upload the file(s) into specific fields, not just generically with the upload module.

@flexinode: It was erronously tagged. I have removed it untill somone volunteers to fox em. Should be 15 minuts work.

@Bèr: Looks like there's a volunteer here looking for the details of what needs fixed.

Back to the topic of this issue ... looks like dopry just added http://drupal.org/project/filefield

I was sent to http://drupal.org/project/filefield - it's new... testing now

http://drupal.org/node/77204#comment-144340 some people have had trouble with filefield

I would like to allow users to attach/upload a file to/with their profile? I don't want to create another field in the user table (I would store the filepath here), so I was thinking of writing a module for it, however if there is already something available that can do this please let me know. The Views, usernodes, and CCK modules are really confusing, there doesn't seem to be a clear example of how they can be used in relation to adding fields such as audio or file (doc/pdf/html in my case) uploads in the /user/#/edit page.

filefield is the answer...
