I'm trying to set up the Media plugin, but am having problems.
I have a PressRelease model, and while adding an entry I would like to
choose and upload a PDF file to associate with it. But when adding an
entry, the press_releases table receives an entry, and the attachment
table does not. *If I use the baked Attachment view to add an entry
the attachments table DOES receive the row.
I have followed the documentation, updated the bootstrap file, etc.
Below is the relevant code from the Press Release model, controller
and view.
If you have any idea what I correct, please advise. Thanks!
A few simple questions also:
1. Do I need to add this ...
var $helpers = array('Media.Media');
... to my PressRelease model?
2. Do I need to add "belongsTo" data to the Attachment model?
------ Code Provided Below ------
The Press Release model has this:
var $hasOne = array(
'Attachment' => array(
'className' => 'Media.Attachment',
'foreignKey' => 'foreign_key',
'conditions' => array('Attachment.model' => 'PressRelease'),
'dependent' => true,
));
The Press Release controller has this:
function admin_add() {
$this->layout = 'admin';
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->PressRelease->create();
if ($this->PressRelease->saveAll($this->data,
array('validate' =>
'first'))) {
$this->Session->setFlash('The press release has
been saved.',
'flash_success');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('The press release
could not be saved.
Please, try again.', 'flash_error');
}
}
$projects = $this->PressRelease->Project->find('list');
$this->set(compact('projects'));
}
The form in the view looks like this:
<div class="pressReleases form">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('PressRelease', array('enctype' =>
'multipart/form-data'));?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php __('Add Press Release'); ?></legend>
<?php
$current_year = date('Y');
$max_year = $current_year + 2;
$unix_timestamp = strtotime('now');
echo $this->Form->input('date', array('type'=>'date',
'minYear'=>2005, 'maxYear'=>$max_year, 'selected'=>$unix_timestamp));
echo $this->Form->input('title');
echo $this->Form->input('file', array('label' => 'File', 'type'
=>
'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('Project',array('label'=>'Related
Project(s)', 'multiple' => 'checkbox'));
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Add Press Release', true));?>
</div>
