Upload images along with my news items ? - El Forum - 03-24-2010

OK, I've now managed to get 90% of it working
My current code.....
Controller(snippet):
Code:
function create(){
if ($this->input->post('title')){
$config['upload_path'] = '../uploads/';
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png';
$config['max_size'] = '100';
$config['max_width'] = '1024';
$config['max_height'] = '768';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->initialize($config);
if (!$this->upload->do_upload())
{
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->load->view('upload_form', $error);
}
else
{
//$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
//$this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
}
$this->MNews->addNews();
$this->session->set_flashdata('message','News created');
redirect('admin/news/index','refresh');
} else {
$data['title'] = "Create News";
$data['main'] = 'admin_news_create';
$this->load->vars($data);
$this->load->view('dashboard');
}
}Model(snippet):
Code:
function addNews(){
$now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$data = array(
'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
'slug' => $this->input->post('slug'),
'status' => $this->input->post('status'),
'body' => $this->input->post('body'),
'category_id' => '1',
'user_id' => $_SESSION['userid'],
'pubdate' => $now
);
$this->db->insert('news', $data);
}Tiny final issue.
If I want to send the filename value to my addNews method in my News model, how would I do this?
Many thanks for any help.

By the looks of your code you would use the following:
Code:
$file_name = !empty($data['upload_data']) ? $data['upload_data']['file_name'] : NULL ;
$this->MNews->addNews($file_name);Take a look at the File Uploading Class section of the user guide (scroll to the bottom of the page, for all the params you can use):

Thanks for the reply.
Just to confirm, my Controller would be something like this:
Code:
...
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
$this->upload->initialize($config);
if (!$this->upload->do_upload())
{
$error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
$this->load->view('upload_form', $error);
}
else
{
//$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
//$this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
}
//$this->MNews->addNews();
$file_name = !empty($data['upload_data']) ? $data['upload_data']['file_name'] : NULL ;
$this->MNews->addNews($file_name);
$this->session->set_flashdata('message','News created');
...Would I need to make alts to my addNews function in the model?
Like...
Code:
'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
'slug' => $this->input->post('slug'),
'status' => $this->input->post('status'),
'body' => $this->input->post('body'),
'category_id' => '1',
'user_id' => $_SESSION['userid'],
'img_header' => $file_nameThanks again for your help.

Your addNews function would be something like this (you'll have to test the code of course):
Code:
function addNews($file_name)
{
$data = array(
'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
'slug' => $this->input->post('slug'),
'status' => $this->input->post('status'),
'body' => $this->input->post('body'),
'category_id' => '1',
'user_id' => $_SESSION['userid'],
'pubdate' => date("Y-m-d H:i:s"),
'img_header' => $file_name
);
$this->db->insert('news', $data);
}...and remember to uncomment your code:
Code:
else
{
$data = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data());
$this->load->view('upload_success', $data);
