Image upload and Chronoconnectivity

Question

Hi,

I created a form to add a new item in a table showed using Chronoconnectivity v5. I used Connection[Data] for every field name and it works, except for the image upload. Using this for the "File field" blocks the "Upload file" action. If I change the "File field" name, the action works. But, even though it works, the image name isn't registered in my database. How could I do this ?

I also have a form made for item editing. I suppose I would need some sort of field which contains the name of the file that was already uploaded, if the item has one, to avoid erasing the file name in the database if the person editing the item does not add a new picture ?

I hope that's clear, it's quite difficult to write down my thoughts in a language thats not my mother tongue.

Thank you for your help,
Quentin

Hi,

The first way to do this is to use Model[field_name] format for your file field, and add "Model" in the "arrays fields" setting under the "files upload" action.

The 2nd way is to use a field name without model, say "file", and then move the file name value under the model using a "custom code" action AFTER the upload action:


<?php
if($form->data("file")){
$form->data["Model"]["field"] = $form->data["file"];
}
