Installation

Requirements

Steps to install

Import The file config\schema\medias.sql in your database

How to use

In your config\bootstrap.php file, add this line

Plugin::load('Media', ['bootstrap' => false, 'routes' => true]);

Security purpose

By default, the plugin is blocked for everyone. To set proper permissions, you can implement canUploadMedia() method in your YourApp\AppController. For exemple :

public function canUploadMedias($model, $id){
	if($model === 'YourApp\Model\Table\UsersTable' && $id == $this->Auth->user('id')){
		return true; // Everyone can upload medias for their own records
	}
	return $this->Auth->user('role') == 'admin'; // Admins have all rights
}

Behavior

To use this plugin, you must load the MediaBehavior in your tables. Form instance, if you want to manage medias for your posts :

<?php
namespace MyApp\Model\Table;

use Cake\ORM\Table;

class PostsTable extends Table
{
	public function initialize(array $config)
	{
		$this->addBehavior(
			'Media.Media', [
				'path' => 'img/upload/%y/%m/%f', 	// default upload path relative to webroot folder (see below for path parameters)
				'extensions' => ['jpg', 'png'],  	// array of authorized extensions (lowercase)
				'limit' => 0,						// limit number of upload file. Default: 0 (no limit)
				'max_width' => 0,					// maximum authorized width for uploaded pictures. Default: 0 (no limitation) 
				'max_height' => 0,					// maximum authorized height for uploaded pictures. Default: 0 (no limitation)
				'size' => 0							// maximum autorized size for uploaded pictures (in kb). Default: 0 (no limitation)
			]
		);
	}
}

For the path option, you have numerous parameters :

%y Year
%m Month
%f Sluggified filename
%id Media Id
%cid Media Id /100
%mid Media Id /1000

Helper

In order to add media upload and edit capabilities in your views, you can use MediaHelper.

To do so, add in your AppController

<?php
namespace App\Controller;

class AppController extends Controller
{
	public $helpers = ['Media.Media'];
}

Or in your AppView

<?php
namespace App\View;

class AppView extends View
{
	public function initialize()
	{
		$this->loadHelper( 'Media.Media' );
	}
}

For example, you can add an iframe to manage medias:

<?= $this->Media->iframe('Model', 'ID'); ?>

Or you can add text editor (tinymce for instance) inside form :

<?= $this->Form->create(); ?>
<?= $this->Media->tinymce($fieldname, 'Model', 'Id', array $options); ?>
<?= $this->Form->end(); ?>

This method take the same array $options than native FormInput helper.

Thumb

If you want to add thumb for your posts, you must add media_id field in your 'Model' database table.

Notice

In order to upload pictures, you should implement draft system for your model.

ToDo

Add the ability to edit a media when clicked;
Add resize, crop, flip and rotate functions;
Finish unit test...
