set attachment to entity on REST upload?

hello!

we’ve extended a custom entity with oro attachments. this works very well in the oro backend, however, we also need to set an attachment when it gets uploaded from a user via a rest api. can someone point out how the correct way for this would be to convert uploadedFile to an oro attachment and store all this then via gaufrette?

what I’ve found for now is to do it like this:

PHP

$attachment = new Attachment(); $attachment->setTarget($myEntity)->setFile($theConvertedFile);

1 2	$attachment = new Attachment(); $attachment->setTarget($myEntity)->setFile($theConvertedFile);

but I am missing the conversion and the actual upload …

thanks!

Hi

I have already explained how to create entities via API. Please use a similar approach to create a file and then a attachment.

When user’s API key has been generated, you can look at json examples in our sandbox:

File entity – [host]/api/doc/rest_json_api#post–api-files
Attachment entity – [host]/api/doc/rest_json_api#post–api-attachments

Hi mike,

thanks for your answer. I’ve found this too, but I can not use it, as we have built an own JWT based API for an external customers app. So there is no WSSE and no logged in ORO user in this case as we do not use the ORO API.

I search for a programmatic solution to convert Symfony\UploadedFile (thats what I get from the upload) into an OroAttachment, move the files to attachment folder and add them as Attachment to an ExtendEntity.

I know how to do that in plain Symfony, but I am missing the Oro attachment part here …

Would it be possible to use the Oro API service in the controller somehow to convert and add the files?

ok, update: here is what I have right now:

PHP

$admin = $em->getRepository('OroUserBundle:User')->findOneById(1); foreach ($files as $uploadedFile) { $oroFile = new File(); $oroFile->setFile($uploadedFile); $oroFile->setOwner($admin); $em->persist($oroFile); $attachment = new Attachment(); $attachment->setTarget($case); $attachment->setFile($oroFile); $attachment->setOwner($admin); $em->persist($attachment); }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

$admin = $em->getRepository('OroUserBundle:User')->findOneById(1);   foreach ($files as $uploadedFile) {     $oroFile = new File();     $oroFile->setFile($uploadedFile);     $oroFile->setOwner($admin);       $em->persist($oroFile);       $attachment = new Attachment();     $attachment->setTarget($case);     $attachment->setFile($oroFile);     $attachment->setOwner($admin);          $em->persist($attachment); }

errors:
1. persisting the file breaks because of the owner set in FileListener.php:40 ($entity->setOwner($this->securityFacadeLink->getService()->getLoggedUser());)
–> fix: overwrite bundle?

2. when the check is commented (for testing), the uplad works, the file gets persisted and the attachment is correctly created, but: it is then not visible in the oro frontend, but it seems to be correct in the database with all needed relations.

–> fix: ???

1.

overwrite bundle?

I think yes

2. Did you enable attachments in the entity management ?

[oro6Participant]

alright! i got it now. the trick was a) to explicitly set the organisation to the attachment and b) to override the FileListener thingy with an OverrideServiceCompilerPass.

so this works now:

PHP

foreach ($files as $uploadedFile) { $oroFile = new File(); $oroFile->setFile($uploadedFile); $em->persist($oroFile); $attachment = new Attachment(); $attachment->setTarget($case); $attachment->setFile($oroFile); $attachment->setOwner($admin); $attachment->setOrganization($admin->getOrganization()); $attachment->setComment('Upload by customer'); $em->persist($attachment); }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

foreach ($files as $uploadedFile) {     $oroFile = new File();     $oroFile->setFile($uploadedFile);     $em->persist($oroFile);       $attachment = new Attachment();     $attachment->setTarget($case);     $attachment->setFile($oroFile);     $attachment->setOwner($admin);     $attachment->setOrganization($admin->getOrganization());     $attachment->setComment('Upload by customer');     $em->persist($attachment); }

:)
