RE: Dealing with Image Uploads

My solution alows me to have a form that creates the record andere directly attach the picture to it. Thats how it works with me.

I ad a word to the dictionary and in the same form I can select and upload a image for the word to illustrate it.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for.

I am using Miles Johnson's Plugin for the uploads which works great now that I have it working.

Problem is this client wants to upload images for products which might may many alternate images but from a user stand point it seems wrong to create the product record, then go to Image Manager to upload photos. Same with news section. Images for news and other places thruout the site.

 

Just need a solution and hoping to find some ideas or suggestions on how to handle that.

 

Thanks all and happy new years to all J

Hi,

 

I have this in one of my apps: if I remember correctly I used: http://github.com/josegonzalez/upload/zipball/master

 

It's well explained in the readme section. You can set different thumbnailsizes:

 

Code in the model:

 

public $actsAs = array(

        'Upload.Upload' => array(

            'foto'=> array(

            'pathMethod' => 'flat',

        'path' => '{ROOT}webroot{DS}files{DS}',

            'thumbnailSizes' => array(

                    'xvga' => '1024x768',

                    'vga' => '640x480',

                    'thumb' => '80x80'

                )),

                'audio1'=> array(

            'pathMethod' => 'flat',

        'path' => '{ROOT}webroot{DS}files{DS}'

                ),

                'audio2'=> array(

            'pathMethod' => 'flat',

        'path' => '{ROOT}webroot{DS}files{DS}'     

                ),
            ),
    );

I need to figure out the best way from the backed the admin can upload images, the tricky part is the site has all different kinds of images (small product thumbs, large version, they want to be able to upload images into the jquery slider on the home page, images for a new sections, featured product on index page to name a few of the different sizes)

 

And there is no way to know if they are even going to upload the right dimensions for each type of image.

 

What is the best way to do this? I cannot seem to think of anything having a table for each_image how it relates to that page, that seems like the opposite of what should be done.

 

Any idea would be great.

 

Thanks, Dave
