looks like it’s my day of running into walls…
I have the following lines in my view:
$form=$this->beginWidget('bootstrap.widgets.TbActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'whats-new-form',
// Please note: When you enable ajax validation, make sure the corresponding
// controller action is handling ajax validation correctly.
// There is a call to performAjaxValidation() commented in generated controller code.
// See class documentation of CActiveForm for details on this.
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
'htmlOptions' => array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'),
...
<?php echo $form->fileFieldControlGroup($model, 'filename'); ?>
in the model rules this:
array('filename',
'file',
'allowEmpty' => true,
// 'types'=>'jpg, gif, png',
// 'maxSize'=>1024 * 1024 * 50, // 50MB
// 'tooLarge'=>'The file was larger than 50MB. Please upload a smaller file.',
),
and in the controller I do a print_r on the $_POST variables:
public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new WhatsNew;
// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed
// $this->performAjaxValidation($model);
if (isset($_POST['WhatsNew'])) {
$model->attributes=$_POST['WhatsNew'];
$model->filename = CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'image');
print_r($_POST);
Yii::app()->end();
...
and while all other variables display the entered values, the ‘filename’ attribute is always blank
i have looked at a lot of similar topics, but none seem to work for me
That works fine now
