Api upload file to Note

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’» Development Help

Hey, Iā€™m trying to create a note (via Api) with an attachment, but the fileā€™s content is nowhere to be saved. The file name is visible in the note but returns ā€œFile corruptedā€ when you try to open it

playload:


{
  "data": {
    "type": "Notes",
    "id": "c75a5ec4-965d-4dba-92bd-55f9e88d4e8d",
    "attributes": {
      "name": "testapi5",
      "filename": "test.txt",
      "file_mime_type": "text/plain",
      "file": "dGVzdCB0ZXh0"
    }
  }
}

when I use the filename_file attribute, the server returns ā€œProperty filename_file in Note module is invalidā€

Api V8 SuiteCRM ver. 7.11.2

@LMEC did you find any solution on this issue? I face exactly the same problem now!!

Yes. It is implemented in SOAP but I using REST so i added this code to /modules/Notes/Note.php

public function save(){
    parent::save();
    if ($_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE']=='application/vnd.api+json' && $this->file){
          $upload_file = new UploadFile('uploadfile');
          $decodedFile = base64_decode($this->file);
          $upload_file->set_for_soap($this->filename, $decodedFile);

          $ext_pos = strrpos($upload_file->stored_file_name, ".");
          $upload_file->file_ext = substr($upload_file->stored_file_name, $ext_pos + 1);
          if (in_array($upload_file->file_ext, $sugar_config['upload_badext'])) {
              $upload_file->stored_file_name .= ".txt";
              $upload_file->file_ext = "txt";
          }
          $upload_file->final_move($this->id);
    }
  }

Hi @LMEC Iā€™m trying to achieve the same result with regarding to posting notes using API and I see what you guys have done. What endpoint did you use to achieve the above? Would this ā€˜{{site_url}}/api/v8/modules/Notesā€™ endpoint be sufficient? But it is currently giving me errors

If you create or update a note, you must send POST or PATCH at ā€œ/Api/V8/moduleā€. If you need more information check this https://docs.suitecrm.com/developer/api/developer-setup-guide/json-api/#_create_a_module_record
