Re: Dealing with Image Uploads
That is my current approach.
The image is added from the news / product add form. I suppose on the edit
page I could show all related images with option to delete or add more.
Also a js add input to add more file inputs so they can upload multiple
images as needed could be an option.

RE: Dealing with Image Uploads
My solution alows me to have a form that creates the record andere directly
attach the picture to it. Thats how it works with me.
I ad a word to the dictionary and in the same form I can select and upload a
image for the word to illustrate it.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

RE: Dealing with Image Uploads
I am using Miles Johnson's Plugin for the uploads which works great now that
I have it working.
Problem is this client wants to upload images for products which might may
many alternate images but from a user stand point it seems wrong to create
the product record, then go to Image Manager to upload photos. Same with
news section. Images for news and other places thruout the site.
Just need a solution and hoping to find some ideas or suggestions on how to
handle that.
Thanks all and happy new years to all J

Hi,
I have this in one of my apps: if I remember correctly I used:
http://github.com/josegonzalez/upload/zipball/master
It's well explained in the readme section. You can set different
thumbnailsizes:
Code in the model:
public $actsAs = array(
'Upload.Upload' => array(
'foto'=> array(
'pathMethod' => 'flat',
'path' => '{ROOT}webroot{DS}files{DS}',
'thumbnailSizes' => array(

What is the best way to do this? I cannot seem to think of anything having a
table for each_image how it relates to that page, that seems like the
opposite of what should be done.
Any idea would be great.

Re: Dealing with Image Uploads
Hi,
I have this in one of my apps: if I remember correctly I
used: http://github.com/josegonzalez/upload/zipball/master
It's well explained in the readme section. You can set different
thumbnailsizes:
Code in the model:
public $actsAs = array(
'Upload.Upload' => array(
'foto'=> array(
'pathMethod' => 'flat',
'path' => '{ROOT}webroot{DS}files{DS}',
'thumbnailSizes' => array(
'xvga' => '1024x768',
'vga' => '640x480',
'thumb' => '80x80'
)),
'audio1'=> array(
'pathMethod' => 'flat',
'path' => '{ROOT}webroot{DS}files{DS}'
),
'audio2'=> array(
'pathMethod' => 'flat',
'path' => '{ROOT}webroot{DS}files{DS}'
),
),
);

RE: Dealing with Image Uploads
Thanks, I have it working to a point.
Images get uploaded and associated correct but my model field is always
empty
Image Model:
public $belongsTo = array(
'Product' => array(
'className' => 'Product',
'foreignKey' => 'id',
'conditions' => array(
'Image.model' => 'Product'),
'dependant' => true
)
);
Product Model:
public $hasMany = array(
'Image' => array(
'className' => 'Image',
'foreignKey' => 'foreign_key',
'dependent' => true));
Do I need to add something to the Product Model relation?
Or I manually have to add in the $this->request-data['Image']['model'] =
'Product'; before the save?
Thanks again,
Dave

One approach is to add foreign_key and model columns to your images table so
you can create associations between Image and other models like this:
public $belongsTo = array(
'Publication' => array(
'className' => 'Publication',
'foreignKey' => 'foreign_key',
'conditions' => array(
'Image.model' => 'Publication'
),
'dependent' => true
),
'Author' => array(
'className' => 'Author',
'foreignKey' => 'foreign_key',
'conditions' => array(
'Image.model' => 'Author'
),
'dependent' => true
)
);
You can then store settings for the various models within the Image class:
public $settings = array(
'Publication' => array(
'directory' => 'img/publications',
'width' => 220,
'height' => 288,
'wp' => 220,
'hp' => 288,
'wl' => 220,
'hl' => 288
),
...
);
Then create an ImageComponent to handle the upload and resize, accessing the
required settings much the same way that a behavior reads its own settings
for a given model. That is,
$this->__Controller->{$model}->Image->settings[$model]['width'], or
something similar. Of course, you'll need to pass the desired model somehow,
either in the upload form or as a parameter passed from the controller to
the component.
For Thumbnails, create a separate table and associate them by image_id. The
class itself can also have a $settings array similar to that in Image, so
that you can have various sizes of thumb.
