Hi David
I have followed through with these steps, but am still getting the same result.
Here's my data array:
[ClinicProfile] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[clinic_id] => 4df049cd-b4a8-4d8b-83b3-6ea5b59c8c28
[description] => This is a test clinic description.
[additional_information] =>
)
[Logo] => Array
(
[foreign_key] => 2
[model] => ClinicProfile
[group] => logo
[file] => Array
(
[name] => logo.gif
[type] => image/gif
[tmp_name] => /private/var/tmp/php3ASh1S
[error] => 0
[size] => 8349
)
)
...and the resulting row in attachments:
id model foreign_key dirname basename checksum
alternative group created modified
1 2linicProfile 2 img 4e0b2cce88ddc.gif
aee5e8c59fc6e529afb0f7832a4a4a24 NULL 2ogo 2011-06-29 13:46:54
2011-06-29 13:46:54
Whilst we're corresponding, one of my objectives is that each ClinicProfile can
have a single Logo and a single Picture. What's the best way of achieving this
- or will it happen once the model and group fields are populated correctly?
