Magento

If you are running Magento 1.6.1, you are probably experiencing this:

Or, if you are running Magento on a HTTPS URL with a self-signed certificate (ie, you have to add an exception to your browser before it lets you see the browser), this won’t work with the flash uploader. The uploader only works with HTTP or with a valid HTTPS certificate.

Hi there,

I have been struggling with this issue for the last couple of days. I need as a matter of urgency to create a module to handle image uploads and management, i.e. a media gallery.

At the moment I have a section in the action which allows me to save the the details for a page in, but I need to be able to upload and edit images too.

Mondane, you posted some interesting information, however I do not follow it completely and it does not quite work with my current system.
I have a form which creates a row of an image uploading field, a couple of text fields for title, etc and sort order. I need to be able to store the image, and then save the url in the db. Any pointers? At the moment I don’t know how to retrieve files through magento, but I know that $_FILES is returning a blank array, even though I have multipart/form-data set correctly....

Can someone give me some pointers of how to access the uploaded image files?

Thanks

From this post: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/spip.php/viewreply/358889/ can you tell me at which step you are stuck?

And, if possible, can you attach the module you’re working on.

PS Which Magento version do you have?

@Mondane

I\’m not sure I follow your guide when you write in step 1, add to the install / upgrade file.

Could you by any chance post a demo, where the code is distributed between their respective files?

Best regards

The code in the attachment for step 1, lines 14-112, goes in ie /app/code/local/MyCompany/MyModule/setup/mymodule/install.php or /app/code/local/MyCompany/MyModule/setup/mymodule/upgrade-x-y.php

Thank you very much, I was unsure about the install part of the modules.

Still, I’m unable to get mine to work, it keeps giving a server error (without logging).

Could you by any chance post an example module, where the code is structured as it should to work?

Best regards

I don’t have one right now. Can you post the server error, perhaps in /var/log/error.log ?

Edit [1 feb, 20:14 CET] Placed the code from my earlier attachment in the corresponding files. It’s not a working example, but perhaps it helps finding out your problem.

Thank you very much, you\\\’re being very helpful!

The module I\\\’m writing does not use tabs, so I\\\’m unsure how I display it through my module controller.
I don\\\’t suppose I could display the gallery through block creation? I\\\’ve tried but it gives an error.

I guess my question is: How do I display the widget in my layout?

I don’t believe you can use the media gallery without tabs. It shouldn’t be that hard to convert your module to a tabbed layout, this site can help:
