I installed the plugin and that went into 'vendor' folder. I am using a form to get user's account information and his profile pic in UsersController.php file. Can someone help me to set up.

[MayMeow]

You can check https://dev.to/maymeow/uploading-files-with-cake-php-and-fileupload-plugin-303d as well as https://github.com/MayMeow/cakephp-fileupload/blob/master/README.md

PS: cakephp plugins like any other package that is installed with composer goes to the vendor folder.

By default is used local storage and uploaded files goes to the ROOT . DS . 'storage' . DS -> /path/to/application/folder/storage

[TechnoPHP]

I am not using doker. I followed this https://github.com/MayMeow/cakephp-fileupload/blob/master/README.md link.

I use UsersController to upload file and my upload() is in UsersController.php file also templates/Users/upload.php form file is there.

When I hit this url http://localhost:8765/users/upload, I get this error

Class 'App\Controller\UploadForm' not found

[MayMeow]

You have to create new Modelless form by following https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/core-libraries/form.html. or you can remove $uploadForm = new UploadForm(); and $this->set(compact('uploadForm')); rows from you Upload function, and just create form in view. By default component looking for file from uploaded_file field.

In README are missing examples for form/template files. (i can add them later today)

Check once again https://dev.to/maymeow/uploading-files-with-cake-php-and-fileupload-plugin-303d

It is not problem you are not using docker. Just skip that docker part others are same. Scroll down to Creating upload view and controller There you have example for each, UploadForm and template.

Here is complete source code from tutorial above https://github.com/MayMeow/fileupload-tutorial

Ok, I removed those two lines from the upload function. That seems worked. Now there is another error. "The target directory storage does not exists or is not writable". My "storage" folder is in application's root parallel to src and webroot folder. I am using windows OS and the storage folder is writable.

[TechnoPHP]

File : vendor/maymeow/file-upload/src/Storage/LocalStorageManager.php

Function : move
$fileObject->moveTo($this->configuration->getConfig('storagePath') . $fileObject->getClientFilename());

this line is giving an error. if I print the path it is "storage/agent-registration-2.jpg"
As I said above my storage folder is parallel to src and webroot folder,

[MayMeow]

I'll check this. (opened new issue #14 )

[TechnoPHP]

I think you need to use absolute path here adding ROOT constant, ie
ROOT .DS. $this->configuration->getConfig('storagePath') . $fileObject->getClientFilename()
but that would be patch kind of thing. Just a hint.

[MayMeow]

Default storage path is configured here

cakephp-fileupload/src/Controller/Component/UploadComponent.php

Line 26 in 2d139a0

'storagePath' => ROOT . DS . 'storage' . DS ,

And loaded into Manager from StorageConfigInterface here

cakephp-fileupload/src/Controller/Component/UploadComponent.php

Line 57 in 2d139a0

$sm = new LocalStorageManager($this); // default one

and

cakephp-fileupload/src/Storage/LocalStorageManager.php

Line 34 in 2d139a0

$fileObject->moveTo($this->configuration->getConfig('storagePath') . $fileObject->getClientFilename());

[MayMeow]

problem can get up when user loads UploadComponent with his own storagePath property configuration and not using absolute path. (as i said i will know later today)

[MayMeow]

Ok tired it o windows and i had no problem with file upload

firefox_74NTiud0T5.mp4

I have storage folder in root folder (same folder where src is)

I'm loading component as follows

/**
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize(); // TODO: Change the autogenerated stub

        $this->loadComponent('FileUpload.Upload', [
            'fieldName' => 'file',
            # 'storagePath' => 'fileupload.tutorial', // bucket name
            'storage_type' => 'local'
        ]);

        $this->loadComponent('FileUpload.Download', [
            # 'storagePath' => 'fileupload.tutorial', // bucket name
            'storage_type' => 'local'
        ]);
    }

If you still have problem send me error log.
