>>> [!note] Migrated issue

<!-- Migrated from issue #296279. -->

<p>I will start off with the quaification that I am a newbie...</p>
<p>I am a content type call Headwear Products that has Image Attach enabled as well as a CCK field using the FileField Module (filefield-6.x-3.0-alpha3).</p>
<p>Using Views2 and Views Datasource I am trying to create an XML doc that displays the path to the Image Attach file as well as the FileField image I have attached. They are both showing up correctly when I view in a non-XML format. </p>
<p>The rendered XML looks like this:</p>
<!-- generator="Drupal Views_Datasource.Module" --><p>
−<br>
<nodes><br>
−<br>
<node><br>
<nid>1498</nid><br>
<image_attach_iid>1497</image_attach_iid><br>
<node_type>headwear_products</node_type><br>
<node_data_field_testfield_field_testfield_fid>5453</node_data_field_testfield_field_testfield_fid><br>
<node_data_field_testfield_field_testfield_list>1</node_data_field_testfield_field_testfield_list><br>
−<br>
<node_data_field_testfield_field_testfield_data><br>
a:1:{s:11:"description";s:0:"";}<br>
</node_data_field_testfield_field_testfield_data><br>
<node_data_field_testfield_nid>1498</node_data_field_testfield_nid><br>
</node><br>
</nodes></p>
<p>In the place of the Image Attach field I get a VID field and in place of the FileField field I am getting three elements that do not include the path. </p>
<p>Here is the exported View:</p>
<p>$view = new view;<br>
$view->name = 'flash_test';<br>
$view->description = 'flash_test';<br>
$view->tag = 'flash';<br>
$view->view_php = '';<br>
$view->base_table = 'node';<br>
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;<br>
$view->api_version = 2;<br>
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */<br>
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');<br>
$handler->override_option('fields', array(<br>

<p>Please forgive is this post is in the wrong area. This is my second time attempting to post from help.</p>
