Upload Plugin
The Upload Plugin is an attempt to sanely upload files using techniques garnered from packages such as MeioUpload , UploadPack and PHP documentation. It uses the excellent Flysystem <http://flysystem.thephpleague.com/> library to handle file uploads, and can be easily integrated with any image library to handle thumbnail extraction to your exact specifications.
What does this plugin do?
- The Upload plugin will transfer files from a form in your application to (by default) the
webroot/files
directory organised by the model name and upload field name.
- It can also move files around programatically. Such as from the filesystem.
- The path to which the files are saved can be customised.
- The plugin can also upload multiple files at the same time to different fields.
- Each upload field can be configured independently of each other, such as changing the upload path etc.
- Uploaded file information can be stored in a data store, such as a MySQL database.
- You can upload files to both disk as well as distributed datastores such as S3 or Dropbox.
- It can optionally delete the files on record deletion
- It offers multiple validation providers but doesn’t validate automatically
