I would like to have the ability to upload files programically.  Perhaps via ajax, returning the fileid of the file(s) uploaded.  If multiple file upload, please return a fileid and filename structure.

 

Thanks,

Jim

  Uploading files via the API would be a greatly desired feature for us.  We have multiple files that need to be distributed to a group of students and manual point and click is not a reasonable option.

  I added an uploadFile task to the API (support.populiweb.com/entries/20218516-API-Reference#uploadFile). The task uploads a file to a specified person (will display on Profile > Activity Feed) or you can pass in the custom_field_id parameter and it will upload a file to the specified person's custom field.

  If you are using a variation of our API Sample Code you can do something like this to get your file to upload via the API:

  $populi = new Populi();
  $populi->login(YOUR_USERNAME, YOUR_PASSWORD);
  $file_location = "/home/my_file.pdf";
  echo htmlentities($populi->doTask('uploadFile', array('person_id' => 1111, 'file' => '@' . $file_location, 'custom_field_id' => 2222), true));

  Thanks!
