How to let the user choose the upload directory? - file-upload

Question

I have a form used to upload images in my blog engine. The files are uploaded to web/uploads, but I'd like to add a "choice" widget to let the users pick from a list of folders, for instance 'photos', 'cliparts', 'logos'.
Here's my form
class ImageForm extends BaseForm
{
public function configure()
{
$this->widgetSchema->setNameFormat('image[%s]');
$this->setWidget('file', new sfWidgetFormInputFileEditable(
array(
'edit_mode'=>false,
'with_delete' => false,
'file_src' => '',
)
));
$this->setValidator('file', new mysfValidatorFile(
array(
'max_size' => 500000,
'mime_types' => 'web_images',
'path' => 'uploads',
'required' => true
)
));
$this->setWidget('folder', new sfWidgetFormChoice(array(
'expanded' => false,
'multiple' => false,
'choices' => array('photos', 'cliparts', 'logos')
)
));
$this->setValidator('folder', new sfValidatorChoice(array(
'choices' => array(0,1,2)
)));
}
}
and here is my action :
public function executeAjout(sfWebRequest $request)
{
$this->form = new ImageForm();
if ($request->isMethod('post'))
{
$this->form->bind(
$request->getParameter($this->form->getName()),
$request->getFiles($this->form->getName())
);
if ($this->form->isValid())
{
$this->form->getValue('file')->save();
$this->image = $this->form->getValue('file');
}
}
I'm using a custom file validator :
class mySfValidatorFile extends sfValidatorFile
{
protected function configure($options = array(), $messages =
array())
{
parent::configure();
$this->addOption('validated_file_class',
'sfValidatedFileFab');
}
}
class sfValidatedFileFab extends sfValidatedFile
{
public function generateFilename()
{
return $this->getOriginalName();
}
}
So how do I tell the file upload widget to save the image in a different folder ?

Answer 1

You can concatenate the directory names you said ('photos', 'cliparts', 'logos') to the sf_upload_dir as the code below shows, you will need to create those directories of course.
$this->validatorSchema['file'] = new sfValidatorFile(
array('path' => sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir' . '/' . $path)
));
Also, you can have those directories detailes in the app.yml configuration file and get them calling to sfConfig::get() method.

I got it to work with the following code :
public function executeAdd(sfWebRequest $request)
{
$this->form = new ImageForm();
if ($request->isMethod('post'))
{
$this->form->bind(
$request->getParameter($this->form->getName()),
$request->getFiles($this->form->getName())
);
if ($this->form->isValid())
{
//quel est le dossier ?
switch($this->form->getValue('folder'))
{
case 0:
$this->folder = '/images/clipart/';
break;
case 1:
$this->folder = '/images/test/';
break;
case 2:
$this->folder = '/images/program/';
break;
case 3:
$this->folder = '/images/smilies/';
break;
}
$filename = $this->form->getValue('file')->getOriginalName();
$this->form->getValue('file')->save(sfConfig::get('sf_web_dir').$this->folder.$filename);
//path :
$this->image = $this->folder.$filename;
}
}
