Upload images along with my news items ?

Sorry if i don't get too detailed, but hopefully I can point you in the right direction. Your "addNews" method will need something like this to handle the uploaded file:

Code:

$config = array
(
    'upload_path' => '/path/to/uploads/dir/'
    , 'allowed_types' => 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png'
    , 'max_size' => 500 // 500KB
    , 'overwrite' => FALSE
);

$this->load->library('upload', $config);

if ($this->upload->do_upload('userfile'))
{
    $data = $this->upload->data();

    // save image here
    // echo $data['file_name'];
}
