Upload Multiple File Attachments to QuickBase
You can create a button that allows you to add and link multiple file attachments at once to QuickBase. By getting a copy of the "Magic Buttons" app from the QuickBase Exchange you can copy the button and the html code page and make it your own for your QuickBase application. We cover topics, questions and answers like this in our daily M-F "Office Hours" webinars held at 1pm Eastern time. All are welcome. http://quickbase.com/webinars/ ------------------------------ Kirk Trachy , Senior Solutions Consultant QuickBase | 603-674-5454 M | [email protected] ------------------------------
How to download File attachments using API ?
I am trying to download the files from my Quickbase table using the download file API (https://developer.quickbase.com/operation/downloadFile), but I only get the data in base64 format. How do I download the file itself ? ------------------------------ Hemanth ------------------------------
Upload base64 PDF File Attachment using API
I am having issue with uploading a PDF file attachment using quickbase API. I have already converted the PDF File to base 64. After the record gets updated in quickbase, I get an error whenever i try to download the file. Sample API Call Headers: Content-Type: application/xml QUICKBASE-ACTION: API_EditRecord Body: <qdbapi> <apptoken>app_token</apptoken> <ticket>ticket</ticket> <rid>30</rid> <field fid="80" filename="test.pdf"> BASE 64 ENCODED STRING OF THE PDF FILE </field> </qdbapi> What is wrong with base64 for PDF file attachments in quickbase using the API or are there specific files that quickbase can be able to decode correctly. Or if there is another alternative approach. Thanks FYI, I am currently using a Restlet Client - REST API Testing to do the testing to ensure the api works well, before diving in to code in any languagePipelines Sharepoint
I have been playing around with pipelines and now the sharepoint pipeline has been released. Does anyone know how to create a pipeline to take a file attachment from QuickBase to a folder in SharePoint? I can't seem to get it to work and this would really help our procurement process if it was possible. ------------------------------ Amber Polston ------------------------------
Use API to delete entire file attachment history
This question is a follow-up to: https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/delete-file-attachment-with-api-editrecord. It concerns the use of API_EditRecord to delete attached files from records. Inspired by the final answer to the aforementioned question, I have been sending out requests with these parameters: <rid>[rid]</rid> <field fid="18" filename="delete"></field> <field fid="24" filename="delete"></field> This works perfectly well, except for not actually deleting any files. What I get are empty fields whose revision histories now have "(deleted by user)" at the top, with all previous revisions still available and taking up space. Is there really no way of actually deleting file attachments through the API? While I would prefer a nuke-all option of removing the entire history at once, I'm also open to doing it revision by revision. I looked at the API reference and couldn't find anything, so I'm nervous that this is just not possible, but I thought I'd ask just to be safe.
Removing .pdf from a file name
Trying to remove .pdf from the end of the file name. Using a formula text field I attempted to use the function Part([File],1,".") , but my file name will often have periods (different amounts) so I can't seem to get that to work, unless there is a way to use it I'm not thinking of. I tried to use the function Left([File],".pdf"), but that still only looks at the period and not the entire string. How can I remove the .pdf from a file name, where the file name includes periods? ------------------------------ Mike Tamoush ------------------------------
