ok after a long time of setting up the code. I got it working somehow and I can see the image gallery on screen!
but i get the following message
Before add photos to product gallery, you need to save product
what shall I do now? pls see attached screenshot
It looks like you are tring to manage gallery of not existing product (model is not saved into database, so there is no gallery because there is no object where to attach it…)
The way how gallery behaviour is working is:
on a first save(after behaviour was added to model) it creates gallery, with provided configurations, for a model and saves its id in specified field
when you are rendering GalleryManager widged created gallery is used to load initial list of photo and to configure widget
after widget is renderd it can be used to manage gallery by "talking" to GalleryController using Id of an gallery
when model is deleted from database Gallery behaviour will remove related gallery and all images in it
About your question("what shall I do now?"):
read the documentation, one more time
look an example: https://bitbucket.org/z_bodya/yii-demo-blog
look at extension source code - it is not too complicated, but this would make it much more clear - how extension works
read topics in this thread - I believe, that almost every common issue is covered here.
If you still have questions ask there, but please ask questions that can be answered(if do not understood something concreate, or want to achive something and need an advice, and so on… but not like this one (for me it sounds literally like: "I have done something weird. What shall I do next?")
About you comment on extension page:
http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/imagesgallerymanager/#c18038
Problem why that code is not working, is not about extension… it is because you are not understanding basic concepts how yii framework works: you should not call $this->widget from controller - you should do this in view that should be rendered using CController::render method, othervise widget would not be able to register styles and scripts using Yii::app()->clientScript
Better remove that comment from extension page - it is question, not a comment… it is not about an extension, it is completely useless for anyone…
Taking back all my comments!! Extension works fantastically! Thanks Bogdan
Hi Bogdan
In the controller action of Gallery Controller
/**
* Method to handle file upload thought XHR2
* On success returns JSON object with image info.
* @param $gallery_id string Gallery Id to upload images
* @throws CHttpException
*/
public function actionAjaxUpload($gallery_id = null)
{
$model = new GalleryPhoto();
$model->gallery_id = $gallery_id;
$imageFile = CUploadedFile::getInstanceByName('image');
$model->file_name = $imageFile->getName();
$model->save();
$model->setImage($imageFile->getTempName());
header("Content-Type: application/json");
echo CJSON::encode(
array(
'id' => $model->id,
'rank' => $model->rank,
'name' => (string)$model->name,
'description' => (string)$model->description,
'preview' => $model->getPreview(),
));
}
Is the image stored on the server folder under gallery folder?
I checked that the image name is stored in the gallery_photo table but when I checked the gallery folder I see images but they are with different name…
Any idea how to save the images using your extension onto a specific directory in the server?
Image name
$model->file_name
is stored only for purpose of tracking uploaded filenames… it is not used to generate file name on the server or somewhere else…
Actual image is saved there:
$model->setImage($imageFile->getTempName());
Using id from gallery_photo.
Any idea how to save the images using your extension onto a specific directory in the server?
What exactly you want to do? In general you will need to modify extension.
