Plugin cakephp-file-Storage 3.0 does not run and does not display Error

Question

Following the installation tutorial of cakephp-file-Storage 3.0 plugin (which aims to give you the possibility to upload and store files in virtually any type of backend storage) but did not succeed in uploading the file (nor in its allocation), I got nothing like Released Exception but nothing of the file storage operation was executed.

Answer 1

First we have to configure the plugin with the specific configuration in the case Local Storage:

In the archive bootstrap.php

C: xampp htdocs [Projectfolder] config bootstrap.php

StorageManager::config('Local', [
    'adapterOptions' => [TMP, true],
    'adapterClass' => '\Gaufrette\Adapter\Local',
    'class' => '\Gaufrette\Filesystem']
);

Put this block below the block with the use (Remember to add the use Burzum Filestorage Lib Storagemanager; library)

use Burzum\FileStorage\Lib\StorageManager;
use Cake\Cache\Cache;
use Cake\Console\ConsoleErrorHandler;
use Cake\Core\App;
use Cake\Core\Configure;

This line can be adjusted to your need (It contains the folder and the file will be saved).

'adapterOptions' => [TMP, true],

for (not necessarily this could be another depending on the need)

'adapterOptions' => [ROOT . DS . 'PicturesResources' . DS],

These are my tables in Mysql (Only two tables products and medias which stores the path to an image (media_types is not relevant to the problem))

CREATE TABLE products (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  product_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  quantity INT NOT NULL,
  sold INT NOT NULL,
  description VARCHAR(1000),
  price DECIMAL(7,2) NOT NULL,
  old_price DECIMAL(7,2) NOT NULL,
  visited INT NOT NULL,
  status INT NOT NULL,
  created DATETIME,
  modified DATETIME
);

CREATE TABLE media_types (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  name_media_type VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  created DATETIME,
  modified DATETIME
);

CREATE TABLE medias (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  media_type_id INT NOT NULL,
  product_id INT NOT NULL,
  path VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  created DATETIME,
  modified DATETIME,
  FOREIGN KEY media_type_key (media_type_id) REFERENCES media_types(id),
  FOREIGN KEY product_key (product_id) REFERENCES products(id)
);

I executed: cake Bake all products and cake Bake all medias and the result was:

In Productstable.php

public function initialize(array $config)
{
    parent::initialize($config);

    $this->table('products');
    $this->displayField('id');
    $this->primaryKey('id');
    $this->addBehavior('Timestamp');
    $this->hasMany('Medias', [
        'className' => 'Medias',
        'foreignKey' => 'product_id'
    ]);
}

I added 'classname' => 'Medias', (I don’t remember if it’s optional but I added and there were no problems).

The archive Mediastable.php is the same generated by Bake.

public function initialize(array $config)
{
    parent::initialize($config);

    $this->table('medias');
    $this->displayField('id');
    $this->primaryKey('id');
    $this->addBehavior('Timestamp');
    $this->belongsTo('MediaTypes', [
        'foreignKey' => 'media_type_id',
        'joinType' => 'INNER'
    ]);
    $this->belongsTo('Products', [
        'foreignKey' => 'product_id',
        'joinType' => 'INNER'
    ]);
}

Man Upload method in Productscontroller.php

 public function upload() {

    if ($this->request->is('post')) {
        $mediaTypeId = 1;
        $productId = 2;
        $path = $this->request->data['Media']['file']['tmp_name'];
        $inserted = $this->Insert->insertMedia($mediaTypeId, $productId, $path);

        //-------------------------------------------------------------------------

        $stringSeparator = '_';
        $storeName = 'StoreGYN';
        $productName = 'TestProduct';
        $saved = $this->UploadFile->saveFileLFS($stringSeparator, $storeName,
            $productName);

        if($inserted === true && $saved === true){
            $this->Flash->set(__('Upload successful!'));
        }
    }
}

I put the method responsible for Store the file in a component (this is optional, but this method must exist)

public function saveFileLFS($stringSeparator, $storeName, $productName)
{
    $key = $storeName . $stringSeparator . $productName . $stringSeparator .
        $this->request->data['Media']['file']['name'];
    if(StorageManager::adapter('Local')->write($key,
        file_get_contents($this->request->data['Media']['file']['tmp_name']))){
        return true;
    }else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

And I put the method in charge of Save image path (on file system) in table in a component also:

public function insertMedia($mediaTypeId, $productId, $path)
{
    $media = TableRegistry::get('Medias')->newEntity();
    $media->media_type_id = $mediaTypeId;
    $media->product_id = $productId;
    $media->path = $path;

    if(TableRegistry::get('Medias')->save($media)){
        return true;
    }
    else{
        return false;
    }
}

This is the template, Pay close attention to HTML element names, they have to be the same as the $this->request->data['Media']['file']['tmp_name']; otherwise you won’t be able to access the data sent in the form (including the file).

<?php
echo $this->Form->create(null, array(
    'type' => 'file'
));
echo $this->Form->file('Media.file');
echo $this->Form->error('file');
echo $this->Form->submit(__('Upload'));
echo $this->Form->end();
?>

Note: I am using XAMPP and Cakephp 3

OBS 2: I noticed that many people also can not use the plugin following the tutorial as this question Soen
