CakePHP plugin for Uploadcare

This is a plugin for CakePHP framework to work with Uploadcare

It's based on a uploadcare-php library.

Requirements

• CakePHP 2.2+
• PHP 5.2+
• php-curl

Install

Clone the repo:

git clone git://github.com/uploadcare/uploadcare-cakephp.git plugins/Uploadcare --recursive

Unzip file to you CakePHP's plugin folder.

Inside your app/Config/bootstrap.php add:

CakePlugin::load('Uploadcare');

Inside your app/Config/core.php add:

Configure::write('uploadcare', array(
  'public_key' => 'demopublickey',
  'private_key' => 'demoprivatekey'
));

Change "demopublickey" and "demoprivatekey" to your own public and secret keys.

Usage example

Plugin has a behavior and a helper.

Create some model and attach a behavior:

class File extends AppModel
{
  public $actsAs = array(
    'Uploadcare.Uploadcare' => array('file_id')
  );
}

Behaviour takes an array of fields to be treated as file_id. You can pass as many fields as you can.

Create some controller that will handle the file the form. Add a helper Uploadcare.Uploadcare to it.

class FilesController extends AppController {
  public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Uploadcare.Uploadcare');
  
  public function add() {
    if ($this->request->is('post')) {
      $this->File->create();
      if ($this->File->save($this->request->data)) {
        $this->Session->setFlash('Your post has been saved.');
        $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
      } else {
        $this->Session->setFlash('Unable to add your post.');
      }
    }   
  }
}

Create a View to display form with Uploadcare widget:

<?php echo $this->Uploadcare->api()->widget->getScriptTag(); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->create('File', array('action' => 'add')); ?>
  <?php echo $this->Form->input('File.file_id', array('type' => 'hidden', 'role' => 'uploadcare-uploader')); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->end('Save!'); ?>

That's everything to be ready to upload. When controller will recieve a POST data and try to create new object, the Uploadcare.Uploadcare behavior will handle all the fields you provided and store files for you.

File operations

Uploadcare CDN provides a set of operations. You can easily use every operation inside your view or controller.

Create a controller. File model has a field "file_id":

class FilesController extends AppController {
  public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Uploadcare.Uploadcare');

  public function index() {
    $this->set('files', $this->File->find('all'));
  }
}

Inside view:

<?php foreach ($files as $file): ?>
  <?php echo $this->Uploadcare->file($file['File']['file_id'])->scaleCrop(400, 400)->getImgTag(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

"Uploadcare" helper provides 2 basic methods. By calling

$this->Uploadcare->api()

you will get an instance of Uploadcare_Api.

$this->Uploadcare->file($file_id)

you will get an object of Uploadcare_File class.

You can find more about this classes at uploadcare-php main repo.
