Attaching files

mon

Hi,

Am using Addfile() to attach files which include the dcr, generated html page and some documents which user uploads in the template.
Is there any way i can specify the order in which files are attached ?? I basically want the html pg to be the first doc, then the dcr n then the uploaded docs.

Also, i want a comment against each file that is attached. Is this posiible ??

Thanks,
monica.

I'm not sure whether adding files in a specific order determines the order in which they are retrieved, but if anything will - that would be the way to try and do it - however - looking at the area-relative path and/or EAs is the most sure-proof way to verify which type of file you have (unfortunately iwextattr is a somewhat expensive call to make since it involves invoking a shell process to run it within).

When you add each file, you can supply a comment for it: $task->AddFile($path, $comment); - all you need to do, if you want unique comments per file, is to prompt for the information so that you can supply a unique comment per file when adding them.

The alternative is to add all files at once with the same comment: $task->AddMultipleFiles(\@paths, $comment) - unfortunately, I believe that AddMultipleFiles() will error out if any of the files being asked to be added are already associated with the task (rather than ignoring them silently).
