NewUpload Behavior

An Upload Behavior for CakePHP 2.0
This behavior allows you to optionally store in a database the information about your uploads.

Installation

Get a copy of the code on GitHub.

Some methods to get code:

• Download the source code at this link: Download code from the branch master
• Add it as a submodule of your project: git submodule add git://github.com/vitorpc/NewUpload.git Plugin/NewUpload
• Make a clone of the project: git clone git://github.com/vitorpc/NewUpload.git Plugin/NewUpload
• Add to your Config/bootstrap.php the following code: CakePlugin::load('NewUpload');

Usage

You must specify the property $actsAs in their model.

Basic

<?php
class Image extends AppModel {
	public $actsAs = array(
		'NewUpload.NewUpload' => array('file')
	);
}

Full Usage

<?php
class Image extends AppModel {
	public $actsAs = array(
		'NewUpload.NewUpload' => array(
			'file' => array(
				// you can use shortcuts like: {DS} and {ModelName}
				'dir' => '/path/to/images/folder/',		
				// can be 'fix' or 'random'
				'adjustFilename' => 'fix',
				// fields of database
				'fields' => array(
					// type: VARCHAR(255)
					'dir' => 'dir_field',
					// type: VARCHAR(255)
					'mimetype' => 'mimetype_field',
					// type: INT
					'size' => 'size_field,
				), 
			)
		)
	);
}

View

In your view, you must define the type of form and field to file, if you are using the additional fields they should be defined as hidden.

<?php
echo $this->Form->create('Image', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('image', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('dir', array('type' => 'hidden'));
echo $this->Form->input('mimetype', array('type' => 'hidden'));
echo $this->Form->input('size', array('type' => 'hidden'));
?>
