I appreciate your response but people have debated the usage of BLOBs for a long time so I don't think we should here. Our development team looked at the possibilities for this project and decided on BLOBs. Most of the time we have used the file system. Thanks for your suggestions. On Mar 19, 5:3

IMHO a best of both worlds approach would be to store the images as blobs and use caching for the images later on to speed up the request handling. But depending on the complexities and overheads involved in devising such a solution, it might be better to simply use the FS if it's a simple app. Pe

Thanks for the suggestion, Faifas. Unfortunately it does not seem to make a difference, although I was hopeful it would because it makes sense. Even when I set the timeout to 6 (after trying your suggested 600) it still logs the user out. The images I'm loading in my test are small. Around 10k

Daffy, you may also want to add this to your beforeFilter(): Configure::write('Session.timeout', '600'); It will make session to last longer, hopefully, enough to load images. Cheers, Faifas On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 18:12, Daffy wrote: > > Another update. > > I tried inserting this code into m

Another update. I tried inserting this code into my image_upload controller. function beforeFilter() { Configure::write('Security.level', 'medium'); } After inserting this code, the session still breaks, but all of the images load correctly. So now it's half-working. Hopefully I'm onto somet

Uhh... why do you save the images in the database? They should be saved in the file system, outside of the webroot directory like in APP/ media for example. The database is not really a good place for them because they have to go trough the database connection which slows the whole process down.

Hey, Why not trying this: Configure::write('security', 'medium')? I believe it would work. Best wishes, Faifas On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 20:52, Alfredo Quiroga-Villamil wrote: > > Ummm, not that I know of. > > Regards, > > Alfredo > > On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 2:38 PM, Daffy wrote: > > > > Thanks

Thanks for your swift response. I'm still relatively new to Cake so this might be a stupid question, but, is it possible to tell CakePHP to use a "medium" security for one section of the web site, and "high" security for the rest of it? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You rec
