Upload field. How to store the full path in database?

Grocery CRUD Enterprise
1

Is there any way to store the full path while using setFieldUpload()? The documentation says it only stores the name of the file:

The method is taking 3 parameters:

  1. The first parameter is the field name in the database. Have in mind that only the name of the file (without the full path) is stored

I need to prefix the relative path to the random generated file name. Any ideais?

TIA,
Bernhard Enders.

Is there any callback I can use to append $uploadPath or $publicPath to the auto generated filename? If I didn’t store $uploadPath or $publicPath how can I retrieve the uploaded image outside GCE pages?

Hello @bgeneto ,

Unfortunately there is not any out of the box way to do that in Grocery CRUD since the filename prefix is hardcoded currently with the below code:

if (file_exists($this->_uploadPath . '/' . $newFileName . '.' . $fileExtension)) {
    $newFileName = $newFileName . '-' .substr(uniqid(), -5);
}

I am working currently in having the callbackBeforeUpload, callbackUpload and callbackAfterUpload and I am going to release that very soon (e.g. this week). Maybe what are you looking for is a callbackUpload or a callbackAfterUpload so you can change the filename? I will inform you once the functions are available to see if this fits your needs. Also what about using the callbackAfterUpdate instead?

For example having something like this:

$crud->callbackAfterUpdate(function ($stateParameters) use ($callbackAfterUpdateModel) {

    $prefix = 'test-';

    if (!empty($stateParameters->data['photo_url']) && !strstr($stateParameters->data['photo_url'], $prefix)) {
        $photoUrlWithPrefix = $prefix .$stateParameters->data['photo_url'];

        // Create your own model and update the photo url
        $callbackAfterUpdateModel->updatePhotoUrl($stateParameters->primaryKeyValue, $photoUrlWithPrefix);
    }

    return $stateParameters;
});

What do you think? I hope this helped
