issues with media plugin generator behavior

Hey guys,

I'm new to cakePHP and MVC as well so maybe I got some major design flaws in my attempt. Excuse my spelling as well since im not a native speaker.

What I'm trying to do:

I want to create a view where the user can re-crop uploaded images using the Jcrop Javascript lib and the Media Plugin from David Persson.

Setup:

All mediafiles are stored by the Attachment Model which is based of the one shipped with the Mediaplugin.

Other Models can use the Attachment Model to store mediafiles.

My Attempt:

Step 1 (View/Attachments/admin_edit.ctp): Gather cropdata, data will injected to the form via javascript

Step 2 (Controller/AttachmentsController.php)

        2.1: Save attachment data

        2.2: if attachment data was saved: process cropdata with use of $this->Attachment->makeVersion($file, $instructions);

        2.3: redirect to attachments indexview using  $this->redirect(array($admin = true, 'controller' => 'attachments', 'action' => 'index'));

Issue:

My general attempt is working, so all images get croped like i want them to but the following redirect isn't fired, instead a weird redirect to current action is executed somewhere.

I narrowed it down to the makeVersion() method, when i comment that out, the attachment gets still saved and the redirect is working like it's supposed to.

So it seems that makeVersion() has some weird sideeffect.

Since i get redirected it is really hard to debug because i cannot inspect the request or check for errors.

I tried with using debug();exit; to narrow it further down inside of the makeVersion() method but i really don't get this, theres no redirects called anywhere inside.

Code:

For anyone still reading and interested in helping me, check out the source here.

Thanks in advance for your effort!

Cheers

Mathias
