Holler if not. Note: I removed all the DB interaction stuff as it was 100 lines long and not on topic.

Yes, the data has to be editable. It is real estate data, so things change (price, description, etc).

I can't use pages (would have been much easier if I could!) as the data has to be stored in an outside database so that it can be merged with other data.

Wow! Is it really that easy? I changed the maxFiles to 0 and was able to upload 10 photos in the one dialog at the same time. But it only listed the first file in the window. Saving worked, although it didn't give them the formatted name I would desire, but I am sure I can address that. Is there an input type/setting that would allow the use of the image type you normally find on a page with drag and drop and previews of the uploads?

While that looks really cool, I don't see how it applies to my situation. I need the photo management within the same screen as the data...

I have created a module for a client that allows them to insert real estate listings into a larger 'global' database (external to PW). The module works great for the text (address, city, property info, etc), but I am getting stuck wrapping my head around the images. The customer wants to upload a lot of images (think 20-30 in some cases). Currently (see code below) I am allowing 8 images to be uploaded, which works fine - BUT not the way it should. Let me explain. The form is a simple file upload dialog (you know, "click here to choose file"). What's missing is the ability to display what has been uploaded previously (when they come back to edit a listing), the ability to delete an image previously uploaded and the ability to replace images. The images are currently stored in a special folder at: site/assets/files/_listings and saved as "listingID-1", "listingID-2", "listingID-3", etc. I tried reading the code for the inputimagefield tag, but that just got me more confused (new to this level of using processwire). I am looking for some pointers or help in moving this forward if anyone is willing! What I think would be great would be functionality like you get on pages using the images field. That would give the client the ability to add, delete, drag-n-drop, change the order, delete, etc. But I have no clue how you implement something like that inside a module. What I have now (in part, obviously this is a much larger file): The input part: //Add Property Description $f = $this->modules->get("InputfieldTextarea"); $f->label = 'Property Description'; $f->attr('name','prop_desc'); $f->columnWidth = 100; $f->required = false; $f->value = $row['description']; $form->add($f); //Add pictures for ($x = 1; $x <= 8; $x++) { $f = $this->modules->get("InputfieldFile"); $f->label = 'Property Picture #'.$x.' Import'; $fieldName = 'prop_pix_'.$x; $f->attr('name',$fieldName); $f->extensions = 'jpg jpeg png gif'; $f->maxFiles = 1; $f->descriptionRows = 0; $f->columnWidth = 25; $f->overwrite = true; $f->required = false; $f->destinationPath = $dPath; $form->add($f); } $f = $this->modules->get('InputfieldSubmit'); $f->attr('name', 'submit_save'); $f->attr('value', $this->_('Save')); $f->addClass('head_button_clone'); $f->icon = 'save'; $form->add($f); The "saving" part: //Process photos function convertImage($originalImage, $outputImage, $quality) { // jpg, png, gif or bmp? $exploded = explode('.',$originalImage); $ext = $exploded[count($exploded) - 1]; if (preg_match('/jpg|jpeg/i',$ext)) $imageTmp=imagecreatefromjpeg($originalImage); else if (preg_match('/png/i',$ext)) $imageTmp=imagecreatefrompng($originalImage); else if (preg_match('/gif/i',$ext)) $imageTmp=imagecreatefromgif($originalImage); else if (preg_match('/bmp/i',$ext)) $imageTmp=imagecreatefrombmp($originalImage); else return 0; // quality is a value from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) imagejpeg($imageTmp, $outputImage, $quality); imagedestroy($imageTmp); unlink($originalImage); return 1; } for ($i = 1; $i <= 8; $i++) { if($form->get('prop_pix_'.$i)->value > '') { $uploadedFile = $form->get('prop_pix_'.$i)->value; //ensure image is jpg image and delete original upload convertImage($target_dir.$uploadedFile,$target_dir.$propNum.'-'.$i.'.jpg',70); } } Any pointers or references to the correct tags would be much appreciated.

Again, thanks for your help, the form is working great. I would like to do an upgrade of sorts and add to the image upload box. I would like to show the image if it exists. I can determine the file name, but how to insert it into the form builder? Here's my form builder code for the image field: $f = $this->modules->get("InputfieldFile"); $f->label = 'Property Picture #1 Import'; $f->attr('name','prop_pix_1'); $f->extensions = 'jpg jpeg png gif'; $f->maxFiles = 1; $f->descriptionRows = 0; $f->columnWidth = 25; $f->overwrite = true; $f->required = false; $f->destinationPath = $dPath; $form->add($f); I tried putting an image tag into to the "description" tag, but all I got in return was the code displayed on screen. Any hints/ideas?

@bernhard @MrSnoozles Thanks for your help. Your pointers along with a 7 year old post by @Soma got it for me. The piece that I was missing I believe is that I had it in my head that the building of the form and the processing of the form needed to be in separate functions. Once I combined the two functions into one, did some further debugging (yes with Tracy), I was able to get a photo uploaded, named and saved where I wanted it!! Whew! Waaaayyyyyyy too many hours spent on this, but finally got it. Thanks again.

Tried installing TracyDebugger and while it did give me some things to clean up it won't let my form process at all. Keeps throwing an error for missing vars, etc. I use the same form to edit and enter new listings. Earlier in the code I check for a value in a $_GET and if there I populate $row (which was previously defined as an array). //Add Property Street Address 100: $f = $this->modules->get("InputfieldText"); 101: $f->label = 'Property Address'; 102: $f->attr('name','prop_add'); 103: $f->columnWidth = 40; 104: $f->requiredLabel = '*'; 105: $f->required = true; 106: $f->requiredAttr = true; 107: $f->placeholder = 'Example: 123 Main Street'; 108: $f->value = $row['st_address']; 109: $form->add($f); This block of code is throwing an error with Tracy turned on: Undefined index: st_address I've always done things this way. Is a best practices kind of thing? Figured it out! Too many iterations of testing and deleted one too many lines.

Creating a module to add records to an external database. All the "text" form fields work perfectly. Now I am at the point of trying to do file uploads for the listing. I want to upload and save the images into a directory inside the Files directory. In part I have: //Add pictures $f = $this->modules->get("InputfieldFile"); $f->label = 'Property Picture #1 Import'; $f->attr('name','prop_pix_1'); $f->extensions = 'jpg jpeg png gif'; $f->maxFiles = 1; $f->descriptionRows = 0; $f->columnWidth = 25; $f->overwrite = true; $f->required = false; $f->destinationPath = $dPath; $form->add($f); And then in the processor section: print_r($image); and am only getting: Array ( [0] => IMG_2752.JPG ) Shouldn't I get a lot more data? Obviously with only that little bit of info I can't save the file: move_uploaded_file($_FILES["prop_pix_1"]["tmp_name"], $dPath.'test.jpg');

Doh! < slaps forehead > of course!! I will also look into that PW database interaction stuff. I should be doing it that way, but for some reason have resisted learning the wire framework.

Beautiful!! That was it exactly. Still have some other logic/syntax problems to work out, but they are of the php/mysql variety and I can (hopefully) handle that part! ? Now the big question, can you tell me or point in the direction of WHY that code change you suggested was the solution? What I had before is working in another module I did last year (far simpler and writing to a table within the PW database).

I haven't. I will look into it. Sorry, newbie here, but where would that line you referenced go?

I am creating (or at least trying) a module to collect some data from a form in the admin that saves that data into a table/database that is not the PW database. Data has to be inserted into a table that is shared among several sites. I have successfully added a menu item, created and displayed the form in the admin, but when I click save, nothing happens, it just returns to the blank form without saving the data. I am new to this and probably missing something obvious, can you help?! <?php class AddSpecialPropertyListing extends Process { public function init() { parent::init(); // always remember to call the parent init } /** Executed when root url for module is accessed */ public function ___execute() { $form = $this->buildForm(); if($this->input->post->submit) { $result = $this->processForm($form); return $result; } else { return $form->render(); } } /** Build the "Listing Input" form */ protected function buildForm() { $form = $this->modules->get("InputfieldForm"); $form->method = 'post'; //Add Property Street Address $f = $this->modules->get("InputfieldText"); $f->label = 'Property Address'; $f->attr('name','prop_add'); $f->columnWidth = 40; $f->requiredLabel = '*'; $f->required = true; $f->requiredAttr = true; $f->placeholder = 'Example: 123 Main Street'; $form->add($f); //Add Lot Size $f = $this->modules->get("InputfieldText"); $f->description = "Input numbers only (ie 1234, not 134 acres). Enter as number of acres."; $f->label = 'Lot Size'; $f->attr('name','prop_acres'); $f->columnWidth = 25; $f->type = number; $f->placeholder = 'Example: 1234'; $f->required = false; $form->add($f); $f = $this->modules->get('InputfieldSubmit'); $f->attr('name', 'submit_save'); $f->attr('value', $this->_('Save')); $f->addClass('head_button_clone'); $f->icon = 'save'; $form->add($f); return $form; } /** Process the form **/ protected function processForm(InputfieldForm $form) { // Connection details $dbhost = 'localhost'; $dbuser = 'xxx'; $dbpass = 'xxx'; $db = 'prop_data'; $conn = mysqli_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass,$db); // Check connection if($conn === false){ die("ERROR: Could not connect.

" . mysqli_error($link); } // Close connection mysqli_close($conn); return $success; } } This is my module.php file. I am running in PW 3.0.123.

BINGO!! That was it. I had picked up some code from a (former) employee for generating the nav bar and he had used $pages as a array/var. Changed his code from $pages to $navPages and my code now works!!! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
