config extension

[jhuriez]

Hi,

When i upload image, i want to convert them all in "jpg" extension. So in the config array i have set 'extension' => 'jpg'.

But when i see in Upload\File class, you just replace the extension string in the filename. It's the real goal ? Or you just missed to convert the file with the extension mentionned in the config array ?

That is what you asked, isn't it? Change the extension to "jpg".

If you mean you want to change the mimetype, i.e. convert the uploaded file to a jpeg image, that is not the task of the upload Class, that is application code.

Validate the mime type of the uploaded file, save it (to a temporary location), and use an image package or the GD/ImageMagick tools to convert it.

Yes i thought Upload class changes the mimetype too. Thanks

Nope, it deals only with processing uploaded files. We like to keep different functionality separate.

What you can do is define a pre-save callback, that takes the file information, checks the mime type, and uses some image processing package to convert the file if needed, and update the mime type accordingly.
