Ahh, okay, it says cakemanager/cakephp-utils:1.0.x-dev on the GitHub readme .:)

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

I will fix it ;) sorry!

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

No worries, thanks for the realtime help. :)

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

No problem :)

Committed the right branch for the README.md :) Thanks @vaughany. Enjoy the plugins ;)

Hi again. I've been trying to get Uploadable behaviour working and I just can't seem to. Could you possibly help? I've added my database configuration and code changes to a Gist here: https://gist.github.com/vaughany/ec10bc8219b9e47793de

The plugin is loaded correctly, no errors are being reported anywhere. But nothing is being added to the designated field in the database and I don't know why.

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

Hey @vaughany, be sure you are using the dev-master branch.

Also the 'avatar' column should be set on true in your Entity

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

Yep, I definitely am this time. :)

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

Haha okay. What error do you get?

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

Ah, I didn't know about editing the Entity/user.php file. I've just done that and now I'm getting permissions errors (which is new).

Let me fix these and I'll report back.

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

Ok. Good luck

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

Well done, you fixed it!

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

Cool. What was wrong? ;)

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

Simply that the Entity/user.php wasn't edited, and I changed the path config setting from default to some pre-made writeable folders instead.

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

Ah okay. Maybe we should make the docs more clear?

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

Yes, it did stump me for quite a bit and I'm definitely a relative newcomer to CakePHP.

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

No problem. It's good to learn, I do every day :P

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

Cool, thank you. Will look forward to the 'remove file on update/delete' features being available. :)

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

Hm good point... Should implement that soon :$ Hopefully got time friday, or someone else should do it ;)

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

I would say I'd offer but I am too new at this (and likewise have little time!).

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

Ok... Just give it some time. Will keep you up to date.

hi there

I have a similar problem

no error whatsoever, but the file doesn't seem to be uploaded (and the db is not updated)

I narrowed it down to a problem in UploadableBehavior.php, function _ifUploaded

this line returns empty: $entity->get($field);

I am not sure why..

the field is set to true in the entity file

and the file I'm trying to upload appears to get uploaded correctly

any ideas?

danielz

@danielzzz

it seems like after patchEntity the files are set to null

I mean the fields

but I have them set as accesible

and in $this->request->data, the field appears as: [
'name' => 'image.png',
'type' => 'image/png',
'tmp_name' => '/tmp/phpcazUER',
'error' => (int) 0,
'size' => (int) 418433
]

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

Hi @danielzzz, Thank you for your feedback. Did you fix it already, or is there something to do yet?

Bob Mulder

@bobmulder

I have installed the uploadable plugin in a new project and tried it. It works perfectly for me... ;)

However, I've done a new commit to remove the debug calls.

@Tomicapo

Hi. I've implemented uploadable behavior successfuly but I found a problem with the directory separator.
I'm on Windows and the URL for the image appears with back slash "\" and of course, chrome isn't able to find the image.

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

I think I have seen a constant 'DS' (in CakePHP generally, not in this plugin specifically), which IIRC refers to an operating system-appropriate directory separator. This could be used?

Tomas Gonzalez

@Tomicapo

Yes, the problem is that when saving the path, it's saved with the DS instead of a slash "/" which is the correct character for a URL.
So when showing an image that was saved in a windows server, the path appears with a back slash "\" so the image can't be found by the browser.

Paul Vaughan

@vaughany

Isn't the DS constant set differently on different systems? So on my Debian server it's "/" and on Windows it would be "\"?

It sounds like you're saving the path as a string and therefore the / or \ is being saved also, but possibly incorrectly. You need to save the path without the slashes and build the path with the DS constant instead.

Tomas Gonzalez

@Tomicapo

1: Yes, that is correct.
2: The path is being saved by the behavior in this function:

protected function _setUploadColumns($entity, $field, $options = [])
{
    $fieldConfig = $this->config($field);
    $_upload = $this->_uploads[$field];

    // set all columns with values
    foreach ($fieldConfig['fields'] as $key => $column) {
        if ($column) {
            if ($key == "directory") {
                $entity->set($column, $this->_getPath($entity, $field, ['root' => false, 'file' => false]));
            }
            if ($key == "type") {
                $entity->set($column, $_upload['type']);
            }
            if ($key == "size") {
                $entity->set($column, $_upload['size']);
            }
            if ($key == "fileName") {
                $entity->set($column, $this->_getFileName($entity, $field, $options = []));
            }
            if ($key == "filePath") {
                $entity->set($column, $this->_getPath($entity, $field, ['root' => false, 'file' => true]));
            }
        }
    }
    return $entity;
}

I think...

The thing is that on the entity I'm getting the file path but not the URL path. And for showing the image I'd like to have the URL stored.
