Hi Im trying to make a posts sections for a university project on video streaming website. I have a posts controller and model. I thought that I would create an element for the posts input box so that I could echo this out in the localhost/evolvids/uploads/watch/ section, however when I submit a post I get thrown a MISSING CONTROLLER error.
This is my code for the Posts Element
<div class="postsform">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Posts', array('action'=>'add'));
echo $this->Form->input('comment', array('between'=>'<br/>', 'cols'=>'60'));
echo $this->Form->input('video.id', array('id'=>'video_id','value' => $uploads['Upload']['id']));
echo $this->Form->input('user.id', array('id'=>'userid','value' => $auth['username']));
echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit', true));?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
This is my Posts Controller script
<?php
class PostsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Posts';
function index(){
$this->Post->recursive = 0;
$this->set('posts', $this->paginate());
}
function add(){
if (!empty($this->data)){
$this->Post->create();
if($this->Post->save($this->data)){
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Post saved', true));
} else{
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Post could not be saved. Please try again', true));
}
}
}
function view($id = null){
}
}
?>
Posts Model
<?php
class Post extends AppModel{
public $name = 'Post';
public $belongsTo = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'id'
),
'Uploads' => array(
'className' => 'Uploads',
'foreignKey' => 'upload_id'
)
);
}
?>
Uploads Controller
<?php
class UploadsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Uploads';
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth'=>array(
'loginRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'uploads', 'action'=>'add'),
'logoutRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'users', 'action'=>'login'),
'authError'=>"Members Area Only, Please Login…",
'authorize'=>array('Controller')
)
);
public function isAuthorized($user) {
// regular user can access the file uploads area
if (isset($user['role']) && $user['role'] === 'regular') {
return true;
}
// Default deny
return false;
}
function browse ($id = null) {
$this->Upload->id = $id;
$this->set('uploads', $this->Upload->find('all'));
}
function watch ($id = null){
$this->Upload->id = $id;
$this->set('uploads', $this->Upload->read());
}
function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Upload->create();
if ($this->uploadFile() && $this->Upload->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('<p class="uploadflash">The upload has been saved</p>', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'add'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('<p class="uploadflash">The upload could not be saved. Please, try again.</p>', true));
}
}
}
function uploadFile() {
$file = $this->request->data['Upload']['file'];
if ($file['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$this->Upload->save($this->data); // data must be saved first before renaming to ID $this->(ModelName)->id
if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], APP.'webroot/files/uploads'.DS.$this->Upload->id.'.mp4')) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
?> Uploads Model
<?php
class Upload extends AppModel {
public $name = 'Upload';
public $hasandBelongstoMany = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'unique' => 'true'),
'Posts' => array(
'className' => 'Posts',
'foreignKey' => 'id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'upload_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'username',
'unique' => 'true')
);
}
?>
On the uploads view I am calling the element as follows
<?php echo $this->element('Posts/add'); ?>
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
