Installation

Using Composer

View on Packagist, and copy the json snippet for the latest version into your project’s composer.json. Eg, v. 2.x-dev would look like this:

{
        "require": {
                "josegonzalez/cakephp-upload": "2.x-dev"
        }
}

This plugin has the type cakephp-plugin set in its own composer.json, composer knows to install it inside your /Plugins directory, rather than in the usual vendors file. It is recommended that you add /Plugins/Upload to your .gitignore file. (Why? read this.)

Manual

• Download this: https://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-upload/archive/2.x.zip
• Unzip that download.
• Copy the resulting folder to app/Plugin
• Rename the folder you just copied to Upload

GIT Submodule

In your app directory type:

git submodule add -b 2.x git://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-upload.git Plugin/Upload
git submodule init
git submodule update

GIT Clone

In your Plugin directory type:

git clone -b 2.x git://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-upload.git Upload

Imagick Support

To enable Imagick support, you need to have Imagick installed:

# Debian systems
sudo apt-get install php5-imagick

# OS X Homebrew
brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew tap josegonzalez/homebrew-php
brew install php54-imagick

# From pecl
pecl install imagick

If you cannot install Imagick, instead configure the plugin with 'thumbnailMethod'  => 'php' in the files options.

Enable plugin

You need to enable the plugin your app/Config/bootstrap.php file:

<?php
CakePlugin::load('Upload');

If you are already using CakePlugin::loadAll();, then this is not necessary.
