Hi Bruno;

I'm trying to use the multiupload feature on a Custom Package with the following simplified structure for this post:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model package="cms" baseClass="xPDOObject" platform="mysql" defaultEngine="MyISAM" version="1.1">
	

	<object class="Content" table="content" extends="xPDOSimpleObject">

		<field key="content_name" dbtype="varchar" precision="200" phptype="string" null="true" />
		<field key="content_description" dbtype="varchar" precision="512" phptype="string" null="true" />
		<field key="content_text" dbtype="longtext" phptype="string" null="true" />
		<field key="deleted" dbtype="int" precision="11" phptype="integer" null="false" default="0" />
		<field key="published" dbtype="int" precision="11" phptype="integer" null="false" default="1" />
		<index alias="id" name="id" primary="false" unique="true" type="BTREE" >
			<column key="id" length="" collation="A" null="false" />
		</index>
		
		<composite alias="ContentPhoto" class="ContentPhoto" local="id" foreign="photo_content_id" cardinality="many" owner="local" />
	
	</object>
	<object class="ContentPhoto" table="content_photo" extends="xPDOSimpleObject">

		<field key="photo_name" dbtype="varchar" precision="255" phptype="string" null="true" />
		<field key="photo_content_id" dbtype="int" precision="11" phptype="integer" null="true" />
		<field key="photo_file" dbtype="varchar" precision="20" phptype="string" null="true" />
		<field key="deleted" dbtype="int" precision="11" phptype="integer" null="false" default="0" />
		<field key="published" dbtype="int" precision="11" phptype="integer" null="false" default="1" />
		<index alias="id" name="id" primary="false" unique="true" type="BTREE" >
			<column key="id" length="" collation="A" null="false" />
		</index>
		
		<aggregate alias="Content" class="Content" local="photo_content_id" foreign="id" cardinality="one" owner="foreign" />		
		
	</object>

	
</model>

Multiupload tool is intended to work with MODx Resources and MIGx.
I want to make it work for a custom class called "Content" and using a MIGXdb which stores gallery items as "ContentPhoto" class items in the db.
Sort of a custom Gallery component.

The whole project is working like a charm, complete with filters, custom renderChunks in the grids, joined classes, class relationships, etc.
Except for uploading the files in the wrong folder.
I need the folder ID to be the 'id' from the table/class Content, but its taking the value from the manager's resource ID '11' all the time.
I've checked some of the files but still not sure where is the correct place to assign resource_id or object_id or co_id the correct value.

I think the following lines in the custom processor /core/cms/processors/mgr/default/update.php file has something to do:

$resource_id = $modx->getOption('resource_id', $scriptProperties, false);
$resource_id = !empty($co_id) ? $co_id : $resource_id;

Copied update.php from the default migx/processors/mgr/default/ to my package folder and commented out the code blocks i will not need but still not sure if this is the place where it needs to be changed. Where's the correct place for changing this?

Please, see attachment for clarification

At first you will need this fix to get allways the correct co_id:

https://github.com/Bruno17/MIGX/commit/288bb35dbe5655ca6437f25983a0b486e16aafa9

other instructions will follow later.

This is one way, which seems to work:

1. Create a mediasource for your object-photos with an dynamic path
path and url:

[[migxObjectMediaPath? &pathTpl=`assets/res/{id}/`]]

be sure this snippet is installed 'migxObjectMediaPath':

<?php

$pathTpl = $modx->getOption('pathTpl', $scriptProperties, '');
$objectid = $modx->getOption('objectid', $scriptProperties, '');
$createfolder = $modx->getOption('createFolder', $scriptProperties, '1');
$path = '';
$createpath = false;

if (empty($objectid) && $modx->getPlaceholder('objectid')) {
    // placeholder was set by some script on frontend for example
    $objectid = $modx->getPlaceholder('objectid');
}
if (empty($objectid)) {

    //set Session - var in fields.php - processor
    if (isset($_SESSION['migxWorkingObjectid'])) {
        $objectid = $_SESSION['migxWorkingObjectid'];
        $createpath = !empty($createfolder);
    }

}


$path = str_replace('{id}', $objectid, $pathTpl);

$fullpath = $modx->getOption('base_path') . $path;

if ($createpath && !file_exists($fullpath)) {
    mkdir($fullpath, 0755, true);
}

return $path;

if you want to have multiple file-sizes when uploading images add a mediasource-configuration.

resizeconfigs:

[{"x":"300","y":"300","alias":"small"},{"x":"500","y":"500","alias":"middle"},{"x":"800","y":"800","alias":"big"}]

2. Create a (image)-TV with this mediasource for the context 'web'
I named it 'objectimage'

3. Create a php-config-file under your packages-folder.
lets say the package is named 'cms' and the migx-configuration für your images is named 'contentphotos' (the filename needs to start with the name of your migx-configuration)

core/components/cms/migxconfigs/contentphotos.config.inc.php

with this content:

<?php

if (isset($_REQUEST['iframeTpl']) && $_REQUEST['iframeTpl']=='ajaxupload.html'){
    $_REQUEST['resource_id'] = '1';// we need any resource-id of a resource in the correct context, just to get the context
    $_REQUEST['tv_name'] = 'objectimage';// we need a image-tv with the correct mediasource in this context     
}

4. Create a copy of the migx/processors/mgr/default/fields.php
to
cms/processors/mgr/default/fields.php

and change this line:

$_SESSION['migxWorkingObjectid'] = $object_id;

to:

$_SESSION['migxWorkingObjectid'] = $modx->getOption('co_id',$_REQUEST,'undefined');

This does update the SESSION-var every time you open the update-window. This way the mediasource-snippet can get the object-id of the currently edited object and the filebrowser can navigate to the correct filepath.

5. In your form-configuration select for your image-field a inputTVtype of image with the above mediasource for contexts web and mgr

Amazing Bruno!

I will implement and let you know about the results.
Forgot to say i'm using migx-2.4.0-beta3 from your github repository

Found some differences in core/components/migx/templates/mgr/grids/default.grid.tpl but i'll figure it out.
Thanks a lot for all the help. Really helpful

I can't find

$_SESSION['migxWorkingObjectid'] = $object_id;

in the specified file. Perhaps because i'm using 2.4.0-beta3?

it was added with this commit:

https://github.com/Bruno17/MIGX/commit/9d91b94eed7af470ce619b9cc31d940221ba958d#L1R52

just put it before this lines:

//handle json fields
$record = $object->toArray();

I've carefully updated to 2.4.2-beta4 and made the modifications, loved the new small additions since 2.4.0-beta3 btw.

Nothing comes out from this line. co_id seems empty.
Double checked all the steps just in case.

I've made a xPDO::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR on $_SESSION['migxWorkingObjectid'] and $co_id after the following line and comes out empty:

$_SESSION['migxWorkingObjectid'] = $modx->getOption('co_id',$_REQUEST,'undefined');

I've noticed it works OK if i change it to $modx->getOption('object_id)',$_REQUEST,'undefined');
Any drawbacks for doing this?

Do you recommend to use the same inputTV and its associated MediaSource in the input field content_image for the edit formtab of the ContentPhoto items?
Tried and it generates the folder with the id of the ContentPhoto item instead of the Content id [ed. note: lithiumlab last edited this post 13 years, 5 months ago.]

I think, should have a look into it by myself. Seems still somewhere a missconfiguration or something not updated correctly.

Latest package on Github has this modifications in place.
Still some work to do to persist the objects in the database but the files and thumbs are being generated in the correct place. [ed. note: lithiumlab last edited this post 13 years, 3 months ago.]

Any chance of those other instructions to follow! I've tried to follow all this but I can't seem to get it to work. I can get as far as upload option but it fails to create directories and then fails to upload.

I'm using latest version of MIGX 2.5.2. And would like to be able to upload images for use in a custom table.
