I managed to try out Yii 2.0’s guide in uploading multiple files but it’s somehow not working on my end. There’s no error message and the data are not saved in the database (MongoDB). Here are my code snippets:
Contact.php Model
class Contact extends ActiveRecord
{
public $file;
public $attachment;
/**
* @inheritdoc
*/
public static function collectionName()
{
return ['iaoy', 'contact'];
}
/**
* @inheritdoc
*/
public function attributes()
{
return [
'_id', 'fname','lname','email','phone','address','contact_type','business_name','notes','company_id','date_added','attachment','sort', 'urls'
];
}
/**
* @inheritdoc
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
[['_id', 'fname','lname','email','phone','address','contact_type','business_name','notes','company_id','date_added','attachment','sort', 'urls'], 'safe'],
[['fname','lname','contact_type','business_name'], 'required'],
[['attachment'], 'file', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'extensions' => 'png, jpg', 'maxFiles' => 10, 'maxSize'=>20*1024*1024,],
//[['urls'],'string'],
];
}
/**
* @inheritdoc
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return [
//'contact_id' => 'Contact ID',
'_id' => 'Contact ID',
'contact_type' => 'Contact Type',
'business_name' => 'Business Name',
'fname' => 'First Name',
'lname' => 'Last Name',
'email' => 'Email',
'phone' => 'Phone',
'address' => 'Address',
'notes' => 'Notes',
'attachment' => 'Attachment',
'company_id' => 'Company ID',
];
}
public function upload()
{
if ($this->validate()) {
foreach ($this->attachment as $file) {
$file->saveAs('archive/contact/' . $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension);
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
ContactController.php Controller
public function actionCreate()
{
$session = Yii::$app->session;
$model = new Contact();
if($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) {
//if (Yii::$app->request->isPost) {
$model->company_id = new \MongoId($session['company_id']);
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila');
$model->date_added = date('d-m-Y', time());
$model->attachment = UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'attachment');
/*if($model->attachment) {
foreach ($model->attachment as $key => $file) {
$file->saveAs('archive/contact/'. $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension); //Upload files to server
$model->urls .= 'archive/contact/' . $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension.'**'; //Save file names in database- '**' is for separating images
}
$path = 'archive/contact/' . $model->attachment->baseName . '.' . $model->attachment->extension;
$count = 0;
{
while(file_exists($path)) {
$path = 'archive/contact/' . $model->attachment->baseName . '_'.$count.'.' . $model->attachment->extension;
$count++;
}
}
$model->attachment->saveAs($path);
$model->attachment = $path;
}*/
$model->save();
if($model->save()) {
Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', "Successfully created contact!");
} else {
$model->save();
if($model->save()) {
Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', "Successfully created contact!");
} else {
Yii::$app->session->setFlash('error', "Contact creation failed!");
}
}
$model->refresh();
return $this->redirect(['index', 'id' => $session['user_id']]);
} else {
return $this->renderAjax('create', [
'model' => $model,
]);
}
}
_form.php View
echo FileInput::widget([
'model' => $model,
'attribute' => 'attachment[]',
'name' => 'attachment[]',
'options' => [
'multiple' => true,
'accept' => 'image/*'
],
'pluginOptions' => [
'showCaption' => false,
'showRemove' => false,
'showUpload' => false,
'browseClass' => 'btn btn-primary btn-block',
'browseIcon' => '<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-camera"></i> ',
'browseLabel' => 'Attach Business Card',
'allowedFileExtensions' => ['jpg','gif','png'],
'overwriteInitial' => false
],
]);
I’m not sure what seems to be lacking or wrong. Is it because I am using MongoDB or Kartik’s widget? Please let me know your thoughts below.
I posted this question at StackOverflow as well. (I can’t embed links because this is still my first post.)
