vtws_describe of products not quite right?

As part of the result of the above call I see:

` [29] => Array ( [name] => imagename [label] => Product Image [mandatory] => [type] => Array ( [name] => string )

                [isunique] => 
                [nullable] => 1
                [editable] => 1
                [default] => 
            )

`

But a product can have multiple images... So my question is, how, using the server API, do I identify information about a product's images?

As a follow up - in vtiger open source there is no equivalent to https://www.vtiger.com/docs/rest-api-for-vtiger#/Files_Retrieve so there is no way to use the server api to retrieve attachments of any type. For a Marketplace module how would this requirement be satisfied?

@lord_alan Please do review this, We have now supported to retrieve the attachment details of a record.

@uma.s You missed the file

include/Webservices/FileRetrieve.php

mentioned in merge request !604 (merged)

@manuelgit Thanks! for the note, Committed the file now.

@uma.s Great, thanks!

Now all we need is support of file upload over the Server/Webservices API too ;-)

@lord_alan Let me review this requirement in sometime soon.

@uma.s I installed a new vt from master yesterday. vtws_describe in a Product or a Contact still tells my code nothing interesting about these fields... How do I know it's an image field, the output of vtws_describe is exactly the same is it is for most other normal fields?

[name] => imagename
[label] => Contact Image
[mandatory] => 
[type] => Array
   (
       [name] => string
   )
[isunique] => 
[nullable] => 1
[editable] => 1
[default] => 

A reference field, for example is described quite differently:

[name] => potential_id
[label] => Opportunity Name
[mandatory] => 
[type] => Array
   (
       [refersTo] => Array
           (
               [0] => Potentials
           )
       [name] => reference
   )
[isunique] => 

An image field is more like a reference than a plain string...

@lord_alan Addressed! Will be passing type name as 'image' Ref

Milestone changed to 7.3

Added enhancement label

Added Webservice label

Status changed to reopened

This still seems a bit broken.

If I retrieve a Product from a Quote and then call vtws_file_retrieve with the imageattachmentids value, the data I get back is not useful at all.

[0] => Array
    (
        [fileid] => 1070
        [filename] => 00001486.jpg
        [filetype] => image/jpeg
        [filesize] => 
        [filecontents] => 
    )

How am I supposed to retrieve the actual file contents? Suppose I want to retrieve an image from a product and use/display that image in another way in a vtiger Marketplace approved module?

@uma.s I have made a comment on your merge request !598 (merged) there is an error in the Webservices utils function vtws_filedetails().

@lord_alan I will review this.

@lord_alan Thank you! Addressed here Ref
