Re: Multiple Uploads with MeioUpload

Hi

Well you can include a seperate field in your model for each upload,
something like filename1, filename2 etc. - and thinking about it this
does work with saveAll - but I needed felxibility and the advantage of
having a seperate model just for uploads is you get to store all the
meta data too...

So only one instance of meio - in the upload model.

I have:

class Upload extends AppModel {

var $name = 'Upload';

/* use the upload compaonent */
var $actsAs = array(
'Polymorphic',
'MeioUpload' => array(
'filename' => array(
'dir' => 'img{DS}{model}{DS}{field}',
'create_directory' => true,
'allowed_mime' => array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg', 'image/png',
'application/pdf', 'image/gif'),
'allowed_ext' => array('.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', '.pdf', '.gif'),
'thumbsizes' => array(
'small' => array('width'=>60, 'height'=>60, 'image_options' =>
array('zc' => 1)),
'medium' => array('width'=>220, 'height'=>220),
'large' => array('width'=>800, 'height'=>600)
)
/*'default' => 'default.jpg',*/
)
)
);
}

and

class Product extends AppModel {

var $name = 'Product';

var $hasMany = array(
'Upload' => array(
'className' => 'Upload',
'foreignKey' => 'foreign_id',
'conditions' => array('Upload.class' => 'Product'),
'dependent' => true
)
);

}
