File Upload, Node Content Empty

oweno — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:38:18 GMT

I am using a simple PHP script to test file upload service. Works great on my localhost (Ubuntu 9.04 / Alfresco 3.2, community), but on another server (Windows, Alfresco 3.1.1 enterprise), the node gets created fine with correct name, description, etc, but the node content is empty (no file). wo

Similar issue here with Community Edition 3.3g. The file upload appears successful and the node is created, but the node content is empty. So it creates the node, but does not populate the node withe the file.

This is what I get when I click on the file:

The node's content is missing:
node: workspace://SpacesStore/7be83779-40e9-48f5-9726-171b09b7806e
reader: null
Please contact your system administrator.

Here is the code for the form:


<html>
   <head></head>
   <body>
      <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploadContent01.php" method="POST">
      <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
      Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
      <input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
      </form>
   </body>
</html>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Here is the PHP code:


<?php

   $parantID="0dbd52a9-2d80-4e85-8e41-7bb03be90bed";

   $repoURL = "http://alfrescourl/alfresco/api";
   $userName = "admin";
   $password = "password";

   $repository = new Repository($repoURL);

   $ticket = $repository->authenticate($userName,$password);
   $session = $repository->createSession($ticket);

   $spacesStore = new SpacesStore($session);
   $companyHome = $spacestore->companyHome;

   $currentNode = null;

   $currentNode=$session->getNode($spacesStore,$parantID);

   $upload = $currentNode->createChild('cm_content', 'cm_contains', 'cm_'.$_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);
   $pathFile = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'];

   $content_data = new ContentData($upload, $property, $mimetype, $encoding);
   $content_data->mimetype = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['type'];
   $content_data->encoding = "UTF-8";
   $content_data->writeContentFromFile($pathFile);

   $upload->cm_content = $content_data;

   $upload->cm_name = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'];

   echo $upload->cm_name;
   $session->save();
?>

I suppose it is not enough to create a ContentData object, you also have to set it as cm:content property of the node!
Here is some code snippet i found:

// Create new node
$newNode = $contentNode->createChild('cm_content', 'cm_contains', "Hui_Buh__$timestamp");

// Create contentdata from some file
$contentData = new AlfContentData($newNode, '{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content');
$contentData->setMimetype('application/pdf');
$contentData->setEncoding ('UTF-8');
$contentData->writeContentFromFile('4046.pdf');

// Set the properties on node
$props = $newNode->getProperties();
$props['{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content'] = $contentData;
$props['{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}name'] = "Hui Buh (" . $timestamp . ").pdf"; 
$props['{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}description'] = 'Ein doofer Test';
$props['{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}title'] = 'Alles ueber Hui Buh';
$newNode->setProperties($props);

// Save it all
$session->save(false);

I gave up trying to do file upload with Alfresco PHP integration. I simply cannot figure out how to get beyond the empty node.
