Hi stab,
I don't really know about ajax-upload. As I'm using plupload in one of
my projects and guess it's similar. You're right the media plugin's
transfer behavior doesn't natively handle streams, yet. Here's an
excerpt of the code I'm using to workaround that:
if
RE The media view - I try and avoid this unless it's a real security
requirement, as it means every request for a simple image requires
CakePHP to handle it, vastly increasing the load on yoru servers, and
the latency for that file.
An alternative is to save each file based on a UUID, or similar
@woodsman - No I agree with you.
I was simply showing him the media view because you he wanted to
supply downloads/files to users.

A few things to keep in mind are:
* Don't just validate against the MIME type submitted by the client,
verify the MIME type by inspecting the uploaded file directly.
* Image transformations help to prevent some exploits (i.e. by
stripping comment metadata).
* Uploaded files shouldn't be directly
Haha awesome, glad someone found it useful :]

There is one thing to keep in mind when uploading files and that's the
security risks in uploading files to the webroot where people can
access them directly. It's generally recommended to upload files to a
directory outside of the webservers document root and give them a
unique name, so that
Yeah but thats pretty pointless if your just uploading images.
But yes what you said would be the ideal situation if you want to do a
download system, or supply files to users.

Hey,
yeah that's what I intend to do. I used your Uploader to upload files
for testing purposes, this works well, BUT I think that the allowed
mimetypes are not working as they should. I can upload ANY file,
although I allowed only JPEG and GIF to the plugin. That's a bit
weird, but I'm sure
Regarding the mimetype, it allows all mimetypes listed in the config
folder. If you want to restrict the type, use the file validation
behavior.
For the second part of your question. You would do a normal controller
action setup like /files/download/1 and then use the media view and
your own
A few here:
- Check the extension as well as the mimetype
- Only allow certain types
- Check the filesize if needed
- Make sure the file is a valid file resource
- Make sure there are no errors upon uploading
I however have create a file upload plugin. You can use the plugin
itself or you can
Hey,
I couldn't wait and tried out your Plugin. And, well, it works like a
charme! It does everything I want to do right from the start, the data
I need is stored, I can even set the path where the files are uploaded
to within the action (so I can save the files in a separate directory
for each
Hey,
this looks nice, and I like the fact that it can handle mutliple files
at one time!
I will try to implement this into my project, and then start to
customize it to fit my requirements. I want to create some records in
the database for each uploaded file, but I'm sure this is gonna work
Apologies for the late reply - I solved this, it was a really silly
error on my part!
I was accessing the array but not the specific field I needed.

OK, so I have solved the undefined index problem - the view file was
wrong, it should have been Tip.image instead of just image. However,
I changed it to Img.pic so as not to clash with image.
I'm now getting the following error when trying to add:

Are you using safari by any chance? I sometimes find that safari gets
stuck while doing POSTs containing files, while firefox doesn't have a
problem and I've never got to the bottom of it. But this was happening
to me before I started using cake as well as now.

You didn't mention what technique you were using to upload files,
however here is one idea.
If you are doing a flash upload, some browsers (can't remember which)
won't complete the request until data is returned from the server. So
in my upload action I always output a space. exit(' ');
Also,
also, if you want to store the data of the file in the database instead
of just in a file, you should also base64_encode(); the data before
saving it to either a blog or text datatype.
when you want to retreive you do:
?php
// header to let the browser know what type of file it is
// saee
which can have the effect of tripling the data size, just so you keep
that in mind when setting up your db

I wouldn't save to a DB. Just move the file based upon the user id or
something and automatically create folders based on the user id or
whatever.
I would think it to be a security hazard if you did do that. Also, you
will increase the size of your db which could degrade performance.
People are
Sorry, after a bit of a reread don't forget to record the path of your
file somewhere. Either in the database itself or I tend to include it
as a constant or attribute of my model so I can move stuff easily.
cheers,

thanks for the input but that isn't exactly the issue. What I don't
quite get is a) why I'm getting an index error, and b) how to
populate the db (with the imageFile [name] value in addition to the
other values passed by the form) at the same time I'm uploading the
file into a specific
Oh... apparently they go in /app/webroot/img... what a surprise.
Nothing to see here :-)
