Well it was just my user error as usual haha. I'll include what I did wrong
and how I fixed it in case someone else makes the same mistakes:
First I forgot to change the News add form to 'file' type when I introduced
the new file upload functionality to the form. I had this set in my stand
alone upload form and that's why it worked there and not here, to some
degree.
Then I forgot to set the Associated fields correctly in the Form input it
should look like this:
$this->Form->input('Upload.0.filename');
Secondly, I didn't have my extension types correctly defined in the
MeioUpload plugin and when I fixed the above errors the validation wouldn't
allow .doc .pdf through and that was because I didn't include the period
along with the allowed extensions.
Solved.
