Hey everyone, this is my first post on the forums and I have a few questions regarding Liferay 6.2 web API.
I'm trying to figure out how to send image data to liferay via url post requests. I've been testing this functionality with the update-portrait call to update user images. I'm using Angular 4 as the frontend, calling JSONWS to access our backend.
I've tried sending the bytes array as an arrayBuffer, array, binaryString, and base64String but no luck so far. Has anyone successfully used the JSONWS REST API to send image data to liferay? If so, I would really appreciate some help.
Regards,
Rodrigo Mantica
EDIT:
I noticed the file submission part in the docs:
<form action="http://localhost:8080/api/jsonws/dlapp/add-file-entry" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="repositoryId" value="10172">
<input type="hidden" name="folderId" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="test.jpg">
<input type="hidden" name="description" value="File upload example">
<input type="hidden" name="changeLog" value="v1">
<input type="file" name="file">
<input type="submit" value="addFileEntry(file)">
</form>
This did not work in my Angular 4 app, but it gave me enough to set this up successfully:
updatePortrait(user, bytes, callback) {
const self = this;
var headers = this.headers;
headers.append('Content-Type', 'text/plain; charset=utf-8');
headers.append("enctype", "multipart/form-data");
const endpoint = this.api + "/user/update-portrait.2/userId/" + user.userId;
var formData = new FormData();
// formData.append('userId', user.userId);
formData.append('bytes', bytes);
this.http.post(endpoint, formData, {headers})
.map(res => res.json())
.subscribe(data => {
console.log("updated user portrait:");
console.log(data);
callback(data);
});
}
After fighting through a couple of exceptions, I'm not stuck at a seemingly trivial one:
"com.liferay.portal.UserPortraitSizeException"
I've updated my portal settings to allow up to 2mb uploads for user portraits. The image I'm trying to upload is 500 x 500 and roughly 90kb. Any ideas?
