Getting filefield filepath from a multivalue field

Thanks for assisting me,
your post and the link helped me out as well and I figured out how to solve the problem (yes it's a tiny error).

Replace line 5 with:
$galleryImage = field_file_load($galleryImage['fid']);

Hope that works

Nice script. I ran into the need for a very similar script. Here's the issue I was having:

When uploading multiple files with filefield, Views would only honor the "hide if empty" setting if there were absolutely no files attached. When, for instance, four (of the possible eight) files were attached it would display the four empty rows with their labels. I had to add a php script using views customfield that would cycle through all of the attachments and print a custom output for each not-null row. This script mimics the normal generic file output setting for a filefield row (icon, title linked to file, filesize):

<?php

//print var_export($data, TRUE); //used to find all available variables in views $data array

foreach ($data->node_data_field_rfp_exhibits_field_rfp_exhibits_fid as $key => $value){

    if ($value['fid'] != NULL){
      //print_r($file); //used to find all available variables in filefield array
      $file = field_file_load($value['fid']);
      $filepath = base_path().$file['filepath'];
      $filename = $file['filename'];
      $icon = theme('filefield_icon', $file);
      $filesize = format_size($file['filesize']);     
      $link = "<a href='$filepath'>$filename</a>";
       
      echo "<div class='file-attachment'>".$icon." ".$link." ".$filesize."</div>";
      
    } 
}

?>

Hope that helps someone. There was very little info online about hiding select rows of a filefield multiple attachment field in views.

I am wondering if someone here maybe able to help me, I too am trying to do the same thing as above but with files and it looks like exactly what I am looking for. Here is what I have so far:

$tenders= $data->node_data_field_type_field_file_fid;

foreach ($tenders as $tender) {
    
$tender = field_file_load($tender['fid']);
    echo $tender['filepath'] . '<br />';
}

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/swdev2/public_html/sites/all/modules/views_customfield/includes/views_customfield_handler_field_phpcode.inc(118) : eval()'d code on line 4.

In the SQL returned by the view, I see no mention of the field_file, am I to structure my view a certain way. Not every Tender Content type will have files and if they do they can have one to many.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Meant to change status to active

Hi GingaB,

Not sure I exactly understand what you need. I may be wrong but I understand the fid is a unique File ID - so one fid per file.

In your code you have a foreach loop. I would leave that up to the Views query which will output multiple rows (each row with the fields you specified for the query (i.e. in the Views interface) - in this case the fid field.)

Based on this I would change your views_customfield as follows:

<?php

$file_id= $data->node_data_field_type_field_file_fid;

$tender = field_file_load($file_id);
    echo $tender['filepath'];

?>

Thanks for this - It was just what I was looking for (#2)

Glad I could help! I still use that snippet on many sites : )

Hi

How are you? Will this script allow me to still get Lightbox2 functionality for my images?
