Link To File Attachments - Cannot mkdir

[tarantir]

Hello, looking for an example or reference for Link To regarding file attachments.

I have the Link To widget in my custom app functioning, for example I can add an address book link and save. I’m having some trouble with the file attachment. I have looked through the other applications, but I have been unable to pinpoint what I am missing.

Here is the error I am getting:

egw_link::attach_file(test,2,Array([tmp_name] => /tmp/phpfufrrv[type] => image/png[size] => 361838[name] => myapp.png[error] => 0[path] => myapp.png[ip] => 10.1.1.1),) Can’t mkdir links://example.com/apps/test/2!

So in the example below if I manually create the ~test/2 directory the attachment is successfully uploaded. Is there a standard method to create the destination directory if it does not exist?

I am running Trunk 1.9.019 (from October 2013 Checkout)

I don’t think there is a standard method, other than what you would expect:
check, create if missing.
It is not done automatically by the egw framework.

To close this out, in case anyone else is working through a similar issue. I used the below logic to create the destination directory in the VFS.

$dst = ‘/apps/MyApp/’.$this->data[‘id’];
if (!egw_vfs::is_dir($dst))
{
$ok = sqlfs_stream_wrapper::mkdir(’/apps/MyApp/’.$this->data[‘id’],0,0);
}

It is not necessarily optimal since it creates the directory regardless of if a file is attached or no once the class is called. My todo later on will be to figure out how to trigger the logic only when the attach link method is used.
