MeioUpload + hasMany + JavaScript-Generated Fields
larry-tx opened this issue · 4 comments
I'm using CakePHP 1.3.3/MeioUpload 2.1.1/PHP 5.3.1. I've got a very standard hasMany/belongsTo set of models. On the many side is a simple table with id, filename, mimetype, and dir using actsAs MeioUpload. I know that I will always have at least one file on the many side so, in my add.ctp for the master side, I've got one set of fields for a single record for the many side (name="data[ItemsFile][0][filename]" and id="ItemsFile0Filename", and so on for the other fields).
When I add a record using that view, it works perfectly, uploading the associated file and making appropriate entries into the database. (My tremendous praise to the developers of MeioUpload!)
Now, comes the problem. I know that I'll need a varying number of records on the many side, so I add a JQuery button to generate an additional set of fields for an additional file upload (name="data[ItemsFile][1][filename]" and id="ItemsFile1Filename" and so on for the other fields). When I try to add a record using the original, hardcoded set of fields and the generated set of fields to upload two files, it uploads the file entered in the original, hardcoded set of fields, but not the file entered in the generated set of fields.
I then use debug() to look at what data is being sent to the controller from add.ctp. Lo and behold, only the data from the first, hardcoded set of upload fields is in the array.
Next step, I look at the source -- after clicking the button to generate a second set of fields -- using Firebug > View Source > View Generated Source. The code looks perfect, but just to make sure, I copy the jQuery-generated HTML from the Firebug Generated Source and paste it into add.ctp below the original hardcoded set of upload fields.
When I test that out, guess what happens! It uploads the two files with no problem at all and makes the appropriate entries in the database! This is the very same HTML code cut-and-pasted into add.ctp that wouldn't work when it was jQuery-generated!
Can anybody give me any idea what I'm missing? This one has me completely stumped.
Are you using the Security component, or anything to sanitize your data? It might be that your form looks okay, but the generated fields are outside the form itself.
Please provide an example application if you continue to have this issue.
I'm not using the Security component. I was trying to avoid pasting in the code because of its length, but here goes.

I assume that I have made many, multiple mistakes. Thanks for your generous help.
I found the problem! It was, indeed, where Cake was throwing the tag due to the way the div's were constructed. Many thanks for the wonderful MeioUpload.
Please use a pastebin such as http://gist.github.com or http://bin.cakephp.org in the future for pasting code samples online. Hope your application turns out well otherwise.
