Attach is a CakePHP 2.0 Plugin, that makes uploads a simple task!
Attach contains a behavior that does everything for you, uploads your file, and resizes your images.
Clone from github : in your app directory type git clone git@github.com:krolow/Attach.git Plugin/Attach
Download an archive from github and extract it in app/Plugin/Attach
If you require thumbnails for image generation, you should install the dependencies using composer, and make sure to call the autoload of composer in your CakePHP application
In a model that needs uploads, replace the class declaration with something similar to the following:
It's important to remember that your model class can have your own fields, and it will have a extra relation with Attachment model with the fields that are upload.
<?php
App::uses('AppModel', 'Model');
class Media extends AppModel {
public $validate = array(
'image' => array(
'extension' => array(
'rule' => array(
'extension', array(
'jpg',
'jpeg',
'bmp',
'gif',
'png',
'jpg'
)
),
'message' => 'File extension is not supported',
'on' => 'create'
),
'mime' => array(
'rule' => array('mime', array(
'image/jpeg',
'image/pjpeg',
'image/bmp',
'image/x-ms-bmp',
'image/gif',
'image/png'
)),
'on' => 'create'
),
'size' => array(
'rule' => array('size', 2097152),
'on' => 'create'
)
),
'swf' => array(
'extension' => array(
'rule' => array(
'extension', array(
'swf',
)
),
'message' => 'File extension is not supported',
'on' => 'create'
),
'mime' => array(
'rule' => array('mime', array(
'application/x-shockwave-flash',
)),
'on' => 'create'
),
'size' => array(
'rule' => array('size', 53687091200),
'on' => 'create'
)
),
'zip' => array(
'extension' => array(
'rule' => array(
'extension', array(
'zip',
)
),
'message' => 'File extension is not supported',
'on' => 'create'
),
'mime' => array(
'rule' => array('mime', array(
'application/zip',
'multipart/x-zip'
)),
'on' => 'create'
),
'size' => array(
'rule' => array('size', 53687091200),
'on' => 'create'
)
),
);
public $actsAs = array(
'Attach.Upload' => array(
'Attach.type' => 'Imagick', //you can choose btw Imagick or Gd to handle the thumbnails, in case you do not pass that default is GD
'swf' => array(
'dir' => 'webroot{DS}uploads{DS}media{DS}swf'
),
'image' => array(
'dir' => 'webroot{DS}uploads{DS}media{DS}image',
'thumbs' => array(
'thumb' => array(
'w' => 190,
'h' => 158,
'crop' => true,
),
),
),
'zip' => array(
'dir' => 'webroot{DS}uploads{DS}media{DS}zip'
),
),
);You also must create one table in your database:
You can do this with a schema:
cake.php schema create --plugin AttachOr you can do it with SQL:
CREATE TABLE `attachments` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`filename` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
`model` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
`foreign_key` int(11) NOT NULL,
`type` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`size` int(11) NOT NULL,
`original_name` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8Create your upload view, make sure it's a multipart/form-data form, and that the filename field is of the type 'file':
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('Media', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('name');
echo $this->Form->input('image', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('swf', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('zip', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('status');
echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit'));Attach automatically creates the relationship with the model Attachment, for each type that you define:
var_dump($this->Media->AttachmentImage);
var_dump($this->Media->AttachmentSwf);
var_dump($this->Media->AttachmentZip);It will be always "Attachment" plus the type!
