File Upload field issue

[AnatolyKruglov]

I'm trying to upload images using backpack's File Upload field and store them in the /uploads folder. The field appears in the admin interface, allows me to browse files, but the chosen image isn't uploaded to the server and I don't get any errors.

I followed the official documentation thoroughly + applied advice found on forums (none of which worked), so I assume this might be a bug(

In my CrudController:

    CRUD::addField([   
            'name'      => 'image',
            'label'     => 'Image',
            'type'      => 'upload',
            'upload'    => true,
            'disk'      => 'uploads', 
    ]);

In my Model:

    public function setImageAttribute($value)
    {
        $attribute_name = "image";
        $disk = "uploads";
        $destination_path = ""; //relative to $disk
        $this->uploadFileToDisk($value, $attribute_name, $disk, $destination_path);
    }

In config/filesystems.php:

    'disks' => [
        'uploads' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => env('APP_URL') . '/public_html/uploads',   //btw, my public folder is called public_html
            'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/uploads',
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],
     ...

I would appreciate any help with that)

I've just tested this and it worked fine - so I'm pretty sure it's not a Backpack bug, but an implementation issue. I can't spot anything obvious from your code... I'd recommend you go one-by-one in the lines above, dd() the stuff you use to determine where the problem lies.

If the field is visible, no need to test that. So I'd start with the Model, inside the setImageAttribute() mutator. dd($value) then if that's ok copy-paste the contents of uploadFileToDisk() to your model and dd() along that one too.

99% of the times this is an issue with how the filesystem is configured though. Try it the same way it's done inside our demo too (where it's 100% working). In fact, if you end up with nothing, you can install the demo too, to see if it works as-is (it should).

Hope it helps.
Cheers!

Hi,

using dd(request()) shows me that no file is coming to be taken by 'uploadFileToDisk' function to store, so DB is correctly updated while no file is written to disk as CRUD 'upload' field seems to bring no file at all to server side when trying to create/update a model with that 'upload' field populated with any local file. Weird

Not sure but might be because file uploads are disabled in demo? Did you tried in a new laravel installation with backpack? Let me know, Pedro A quinta, 29/07/2021, 12:07, MBC Servicios Audiovisuales < ***@***.***> escreveu:

Hi, I managed to discover the problem.

CRUD panel's form does not include the attribute enctype="multipart/form-data".

I guess something is missing in docs regarding CRUD Controller setup around the usage of 'upload' field. As shown into source code for the blade files create.blade.php, edit.blade.php, for backpack/crud, I can see a conditional inclusion of this attribute as follows (for the edit.blade.php case, similarly found into create.blade.php template):

@if ($crud->hasUploadFields('update', $entry->getKey()))
enctype="multipart/form-data"
@endif

Looking for that hasUploadFields I discovered that 'upload' CRUD field shall include 'upload' => true attribute to work as expected. Neat coding may need that attribute to be defaulted to true in case it is not provided.

Cheers!

Hi.

Due to not activity on many years i will close this discussion, if there is needed feel free to reopen or create a new one.

Cheers.

Also as of now (Backpack 6) you can use the https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/6.x/crud-uploaders to make the uploading of files a breeze in Backpack.

Cheers
