Coldfusion upload via API Wrapper

[ozatomic]

I've started working on a wrapper class to interact with the
slideshare api and I'm up to the upload slideshare stage.

The problem I'm have is that every time i attempt to POST the
slideshow files tot he API i get the response "6: Slideshow file is
not a source object"

<cfhttp url="#url#" result="result" timeout="#variables.timeout#"
method="POST" multipart="yes" multiparttype="related" >

| --- All Other Required parameters here --- |

<cfhttpparam type="file" name="slideshow_srcfile" file="#StructFind
(parameters, 'slideshow_srcfile')#" />
</cfhttp>


I've tried suing it with and without multiparttype thinking that it
might have to work the same way as the youtube API does but this does
not work i'm wondering if anyone else has had and luck?

Hey,

Upload for me is working with PHP & HTML. I have attached the file. Hope this helps.

This doesn't really help me.
You file is just using the form directly and submitting it directly to
slideshare.

I am posting it to a local file and submitting it via cfhttp so that i
can capture the xml response and use other classes at the same time.

Are you sure parameters.slideshow_srcfile is a valid file path? Also, not that it matters, but I'd skip the structFind stuff. Just do

file="#parameters.slideshow_srcfile#"

@Raymond
    Thanks for the reply Raymond.

@ozatomic
    Did Raymond's suggestion work for you? If you could write down that it would be helpful for other devs.

yeah i'm sure that it has a valid file path as it is refering to the
tempary uploaded file from my form. parameters.slideshow_srcfile is
form.slideshow_srcfile i'm jsut running some validation over things
and passing it around my class.

But when i do a cfdump on parameters it is pointing to a tmp file but
i can't acecss the file because it deletes the file after the script
has been run.
I know it works because I've ripped the cfhttp stuff out of my youtube
class and edited ti to suit.

I've already pasted the code in the first post which contains everything you need.
But if you must know the rest here is a rundown of the sections.

-- HTML CODE --
<label>File:</label> <input type="file" name="slide" id="slide" />

-- On Post (This sticks it into a Show object which contains all the details about the show. --
<cfset variables.slideshareshow = CreateObject("component", "SlideShareShow").init() />
<cfset variables.slideshareshow.setSrcfile(Form.slide) />

-- Then we call the wrapper passing the api and secret and then tell ti to upload passing it a user object and a show object --
<cfset variables.slideshare = CreateObject("component", "_gcl.SlideShare").init("APIKEY", "SECRET") />
<cfif variables.slideshare.uploadSlideShow(variables.slideshareuser, variables.slideshareshow)>

-- From Here i set the requiered fields for the requiered action --
<cfset StructInsert(parameters, "slideshow_srcfile", slideshareshow.getSrcfile()) />

-- Then i run the request --

<cfhttp url="#url#" result="result" timeout="#variables.timeout#" method="POST" multipart="yes" multiparttype="related" >

    || -- All The Other Fields -- ||

    <cfhttpparam type="file" name="slideshow_srcfile" file="#StructFind
(parameters, 'slideshow_srcfile')#" />
</cfhttp>

And there is a reason i'm suing the StructFind raymond as i'm looping over parameters i normally have key where 'slideshow_srcfile' is. But it was easyer just to show it liek this for example both ways will work.

You said the file was a tmp file? Is it a file upload? Try processing
it first with cffile/action=upload. Move the file to someplace outside
of the OS temp dir as that may be part of the problem.
