I am having trouble figuring out how to attach an uploaded image to a node in my form submit handler. I've been searching for a while now and nothing I've tried has worked. For instance:
$image = $form_state['storage']['image'];
unset($form_state['storage']['image']);
$image->status = FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT;
$file = file_save($image);
$node->field_image['und'][0] = $file;
does not work.
Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
It's been a while since I've done this but this link should be a good start. File Load
Assuming $form_state['storage']['image'] is the image's fid, what you may want to do is.
$image = $form_state['storage']['image'];
$file = file_load($image);
// Change status to permanent.
$file->status = FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT;
// Save.
file_save($file);
// add image back
$node->field_image['und'][0] = $image;
Depending on what your doing you may want to add the file to the usage table. Details here. File Usage Add
$node->field_image['und'][0] = (array) $file;and then you need to callnode_save($node);after that.var_dump($form_state['values']['image'])(as well as ['storage']), but that gives me an empty string. And no matter what I do, I don't get an image attached to the node.
