File upload to chatter

Hi guys,

 

I am using phonegap and salesforce mobile SDK. I want to post a file to chatter. But I am unable to make out. Following is my code snippet. Any kind of help will be highly appriciated.

 

    	
        var comment = $("#comment").val();
    				 
	var params = new Object();
	params.desc = "description";
	params.fileName = "filename";
	params.text = comment;
        params.feedItemFileUpload = imageData; // response from phonegap getPicture methods
    				 
        forcetkClient.createFeedItem(params, postSuccess, postError);


    forcetk.Client.prototype.createFeedItem = function(fields, callback, error) {
    	  var str = [];
          for(var p in fields)
	     str.push(p + "=" + encodeURIComponent(fields[p]));
		  
	str = str.join("&");
		  
        this.ajax('/' + this.apiVersion + '/chatter/feeds/news/me/feed-items'
        , callback, error, "POST", str);
    }

 

Thanks

I think the issue here is that you're trying to encode the file data as a query parameter in the URI itself rather than in the HTTP POST body.  

 

I haven't tried this, but I believe there is a Chatter Connect API specifically for uploading files.  Take a look at this Chatter Connect API reference page. I believe what you want to do is set fileData in the POST body.

 

Hope this helps...

Hi Jagdeep,

 

It looks like you're making use of the Chatter REST API. I have answered a similar question before here: http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/Chatter-and-Chatter-API/Chatter-REST-API-File-Upload-using-Request-body/m-p/367373#M1331 hope it helps.

 

Cheers,
