The Bakery Everything CakePHP

I’ve this project from the public copy from sabbour, to have a standard way of uploading files to CakePHP projects.

It is version controlled at (and you can download the fresher source code from)
http://github.com/tute/Thumbnail-component-for-CakePHP
Usage

1. [li] Copy attachment.php to /app/controllers/components/ [li] Add component to your controller: var $components = array('Attachment'); [li] In your upload form:

   View Template:

   
<?php
echo $form->create('Model', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $form->file('Attachment');
?>

Filesystem storage (default)

1. In your controller action (save file_path):

Controller Class:

<?php $file_path = $this->Attachment->upload($this->data['Model']['Attachment']);?> 2. In your view, if it’s an image:

View Template:

<?php echo $html->image('/attachments/$folderName/{size}/'.$data['Model']['file_path']); ?>

Configuration options

* photos_dir: The folder which will hold the files, inside /app/webroot/attachments/.
* database: Whether to save the images in the database or the filesystem.
* allow_non_image_files, self descriptive ;-) .
* images_size: Array of different file sizes required by your app. Each
element is itself an array, like:
'folder_name' => array($width, $height, $do_crop)
You can override the default configuration passing an array of options while
including the component, like:

Controller Class:

<?php var $components = array('Attachment' => array('photos_dir' => 'pets'));?>
(Check the $config array defined at the first lines of the component to see
default values and the syntax.)

Methods

upload($data)

* data: file data array from the form. If it’s an image, it calls:

thumbnail($data, $upload_dir, $maxw, $maxh, $crop = false)

* data: the image data array from the form
* upload_dir: the name of the parent folder of the images
* maxw/maxh: maximum width/height for resizing images
* crop: indicates if image must be cropped or not (defaults to false)

delete_files($file-to-delete-name)

Requirements

1. [li] PHP GD library installed and enabled [li] /app/webroot/ must be writable by the web server (or you can create /app/webroot/attachments/ and make writable that folder). [li] You must store in database $file_path returned by $this->Attachment->upload in order to reference the file.

To do list

Image resize in upload_DB.
