[ADDED] adding unique ID fields to the fly views of images 05 Jul 2012 11:15 #2764

cefnllys Topic Author Offline Premium Member Posts: 102 Thank you received: 5	Basically i need to add ID fields to each of my fly view image upload previews. Is there an easy way to do this with Jdom? I only need to distinguish bettween two diffrent IDs. e.g. I have an image field for a tilable background image and one for a logo upload. please help

Maybe you only need to use the RENAME property

ex:
{BASE}-tile.{MIMEXT}

and
{BASE}-logo.{MIMEXT}

Not possible yet :
{ID}-tile.{MIMEXT}
{ID}-logo.{MIMEXT}

For the moment, you can retreive your images files using a DB query (getting the item which indexes the images)

It is not possible because the upload is processed BEFORE the item creation. (in controller) So the ID is still unknown when file is uploaded. Maybe not a good choice for the moment. It will evolve.
It is on the roadmap, and for sure, after the V2.0

Coding is now a piece of cake

In the controller,
you can reverse the order of operating the saving function.

I mean, you first save the item, and then you call the upload function.

TODO :
In your context controller, (function save() )
- place the 'upload' call function at the end, or maybe only if the storing succeed`;
- send a new parameter in this function (id value)

In classes/file.php,
- add a parser tag ({ID} for instance)
- receive the id parameter for your new tag (replace the tag with this value)

That's it.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
