post. I'm using this model for several things that are to appear in a
banner that flips through some images and some flot output (http://
code.google.com/p/flot/) that is converted from csv files from several
different data sources. So the actual model is full of code that
converts the csv format to what flot expects. The conversions work
when first uploaded and I get correct flot output, but these csv files
experience the same behavior - a file called winter_inventory_2007.csv
will be shortened to "w".
I figured that images were something people worked with pretty often,
and the other code is only called when the case statement sees a
different "type" for the model, so I just posted those parts related
to the images so people wouldn't have too much code to ignore.
If it matters, the original name was "Rolledelement". I didn't think
that was too indicative of it being an image, but the name makes more
sense when there are multiple things which all need to be rolled
through in a banner.
Also, forgot to include: Cakephp 2.0.5.
