Hi Tarique,
The behavior in cheesecake is almost stripped to the bone, and has
some assumptions built in (where the files will go meaning the use of
WWW_ROOT, each file is a foto, the format for the name of the thumb
file etc.). For a photo driven site I guess it's what's needed.
Hi Tijs,
The paste was not for a finished version but I did a bit more than
change the way the default setup works. I added/did the following:
* style changed to be more inline with other behaviors (use of
extract so you don't need $this->params to refer to all your variables
for example)
* changed to work with almost no parameters
* made separate methods for some operations such as determining file,
thumb and path names
* the folder to save can be configured/changed on the fly 'dir' =>
'{APP}uploads{DS}{$class}{DS}{$foreign_id}' <- those get replaced when
used
* the thumb/versions to save can be configured/changed on the fly
''name' => '{$file}.small.{$ext}' <- can be what you like
* added a name cleanup routine (only applicable if you are not using
random filenames) so that áccëñtèd characters in file names are
converted
* fixed the beforeDelete method and wrote it to ensure that the pics/
thumbs/versions of abcd.jpg are not deleted when you delete the pic
bcd.jpg
I changed it to use relative file paths when saving to the database,
although that's currently hard coded. Not sure if it is still a bit
too db-centric as a model may not be a table in the db of course.
The thing that mildly bugged me before was that a file (upload) is a
file, not a jpeg/png. The behavior was and still is (because I decided
to stop thinking and just write something) a bit foto centric imo. I
need to be able to upload images and pdfs, but the same upload
behaviour could be used for any file type, so if it includes image
resizing, shouldn't it include any of doc to text, text to pdf, mp3 to
first x seconds, movie to first x seconds, unzip zip etc. ?
I like the way cheesecake keeps things separate by outsourcing image
manipulation to a vendor. Maybe configuring a callback is a
possibility, maybe image resizing should be done in the model or maybe
I'm thinking too much.
Anyway, thoughts?
