Help with scrip for Custom Field

To all,

I have a Custom Field with the type=Upload multiple images. I want to put in
an attachment (gif or jpeg) from an email.
The scrip I have written uses this to get the pic:

my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
my $pic = $trans->Attachments->First->ContentType(Value => ‘image/gif’);
(this ‘gif’ variation was merely to try the concept. I can try variations
for jpeg later).

The result was no pic uploaded and next to the CF name (on the ticket
display) was ‘multipart/mixed’.

Inside the Update screen, these was the name of the CF followed by a
checkbox and the ‘multipart/mixed’.

Obviously I’m missing something. I went to Attachments_Overlay.txt and
didn’t really see anything that helped (obviously - duh).

Any help would be appreciated.

Your code gets the first attachment and then calls the ContentType
method on it (which takes no arguments) and that returns the
Content-Type of multipart/mixed, which is expected.

You need to loop through the attachments and get your gif (or just
Limit down).

Kevin,

I don’t understand the term “limitdown”, but I’ll try to create a loop. Am I
correct with the code
“Attachments->First->ContentType(Value => ‘image/gif’)” and should that be
the main condition in the loop (got an example)?

Thanks.

Limit meaning add Limits to only get images back first

That code is not correct, see my description of what it is doing in my
original mail (quoted below).

There should be examples in the wiki and the list archive of looping
through attachments.

Kevin,

Thanks. Sorry for the ignorant questions. I’m not a perl programmer. I just
try to cobble examples together and test them out.

I’ll look thru that. Hopefully there’s an example of “limit” code for
images.

Thanks again.
