Re: Issue with Form Helper array('type' => 'file')

Thank you so much, it's working now! You were spot on, it was the
Couplers beforesave that was unsetting the data. I have stopped it
doing that now and I can't see why that would cause any other issues.

The change I have made is as follows:
function beforeSave(&$Model) {
if (!$Model->exists()) {
if (!isset($Model->data[$Model->alias]['file'])) {
removed unset --->                //unset($Model->data[$Model-
>alias]);
return true;
}
} else {
if (isset($Model->data[$Model->alias]['delete'])
&& $Model->data[$Model->alias]['delete'] !== '0') {
$Model->delete();
unset($Model->data[$Model->alias]);
return true;
}
}

Thanks again...
