hi, i created a component "imageComponent" with a function that uploads and resizes images. the components functions is called in my users_controller. it works (thank god). now i wanna save the path, where the profile picture is saved, in my database.. i tried to save the path in my component with
$data['User']['image_path']=$folderName."/".$filename; Save the data $this->User->save($data); thats the lovely error that cakephp is throwing Notice (8): Undefined property: ImageComponent::$User [APP\controllers \components\image.php, line 105] Code | Context Fatal error: Call to a member function save() on a non-object in F:\abc \Entwicklung\xampp\htdocs\muh\app\controllers\components\image.php on line 105 thats 105: $this->User->save($data); my component: class ImageComponent extends Object { function upload_image_and_thumbnail($data, $datakey, $imgscale, $thumbscale, $folderName, $square) { if (strlen($data['User']['name'])>4){ $error = 0; $tempuploaddir = "img/temp"; // the /temp/ directory, should delete the image after we upload $biguploaddir = "img/profilepics/big/".$folderName; // the /big/ directory $smalluploaddir = "img/profilepics/small/".$folderName; // the / small/ directory for thumbnails // Make sure the required directories exist, and create them if necessary if(!is_dir($tempuploaddir)) mkdir($tempuploaddir,true); if(!is_dir($biguploaddir)) mkdir($biguploaddir,true); if(!is_dir($smalluploaddir)) mkdir($smalluploaddir,true); $filetype = $this->getFileExtension($data['User']['name']); $filetype = strtolower($filetype); if (($filetype != "jpeg") && ($filetype != "jpg") && ($filetype ! = "gif") && ($filetype != "png")) { // verify the extension return; } else { // Get the image size $imgsize = GetImageSize($data['User']['tmp_name']); } // Generate a unique name for the image (from the timestamp) //$id_unic = str_replace(".", "", strtotime ("now")); $filename = $folderName; settype($filename,"string"); $filename.= "."; $filename.=$filetype; $tempfile = $tempuploaddir . "/$filename"; $resizedfile = $biguploaddir . "/$filename"; $croppedfile = $smalluploaddir . "/$filename"; if (is_uploaded_file($data['User']['tmp_name'])) { // Copy the image into the temporary directory if (!copy($data['User']['tmp_name'],"$tempfile")) { print "Error Uploading File!."; exit(); } else { /* * Generate the big version of the image with max of $imgscale in either directions */ $this->resize_img($tempfile, $imgscale, $resizedfile); if($square) { /* * Generate the small square version of the image with scale of $thumbscale */ $this->crop_img($tempfile, $thumbscale, $croppedfile); } else { /* * Generate the big version of the image with max of $imgscale in either directions */ $this->resize_img($tempfile, $thumbscale, $croppedfile); } // Delete the temporary image unlink($tempfile); } } // Save path in database as "image_path" $data['User']['image_path']=$folderName."/".$filename; //Save the data $this->User->save($data); // Image uploaded, return the file name return $filename; } i'm guessing I cant use my model "User" in this component? or can I ? if not, how can i save this in my database? thx a lot :) Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
