Re: Multiple Uploads with MeioUpload

Hi

I'm using MeioUpload for a current project with multiple images. It is
a bit more complicated as I'm saving all the images into a single
table using a ploymorphic association (ie. Product hasMany Upload,
Profile hasOne Upload etc.) - but this should be helpful anyway

The upload fields generated in the view are organised like so:

<div class="input file">
<label for="Upload1Filename">Filename</label>
<input type="file" name="data[Upload][1][filename]" value=""
id="Upload1Filename" />
</div>
<div class="input file">
<label for="Upload2Filename">Filename</label>
<input type="file" name="data[Upload][2][filename]" value=""
id="Upload2Filename" />
</div>

etc.

For whatever reasons - probably the polymorphic association - I never
got this to work with saveAll, but anyway I have a bit of code to
upload / save the images uploaded from which ever model in
app_controller like this: (simplified example)

function upload_something($id = null) {
// id is the primary key of the parent model e.g Product
// e.g. Product hasMany Uploads
if (!$id) {
$this->flash(__('Invalid ' . $this->modelClass, true), array
('action'=>'admin_index'));
}

if(!empty($this->data)){

if(isset($this->data['Upload'])){

$upload_errors = array();

foreach($this->data['Upload'] as $Upload => $value){

// only process the upload if it has actually been uploaded
if(!empty($value['filename']['name'])){

$this->{$this->modelClass}->Upload->create();

$value['class'] = $this->modelClass;
$value['foreign_id'] = $id;
$this->{$this->modelClass}->Upload->save($value);

if(!empty($this->{$this->modelClass}->Upload-
>validationErrors)){
$upload_errors[$Upload]['filename'] = $this->{$this-
>modelClass}->Upload->validationErrors['filename'];
}
}

}
}
}
}

Hope this helps.
