UncleCheese,

I ran into the following situation today on SS2.4.2 and the latest Uploadify (I think r510):

Photo.php

<?php
class Photo extends Image {

	static $has_one = array (
		'Page' => 'Page'
	);

}
?>

Page.php

...

	public static $has_many = array(
		'Photos' => 'Photo'
	);

...

		$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.'._t('CMS.PHOTOS','Photos'), $miuf = new MultipleImageUploadField('Photos',_t('CMS.CONTENT_PHOTOS','Content photos')));

...

Situation:

1. In CMS open page 'home' and upload new image using uploadify
2. Check front-end: image perfectly visible
3. Back in CMS open page 'about us' and import the same image using 'Choose existing'
4. Check front-end: image perfectly visible, BUT no longer on page 'home'. Also in CMS the image is gone on page 'home'

That's funny. I literally just discovered this bug yesterday, just hours before you posted it.

Yeah, it's a tricky one. The "choose existing" functionality for a multiple file upload field would have to be based on a many_many rather than a has_many.

The other solution is to copy the files on import -- like DOM does. That way you don't break any relationships.

It's a major drag, either way. Neither is a clean solution.

Ok thanks for you quick response!!!

What would be the quickest fix. Could you lead me/show me where to find/provide me with the code to copy files like done in DOM?

Hi Uncle Cheese. Is it possible/ease to setup a multiple file upload field with a many_many relationship or does this involve some serious coding? All this to prevent images disappearing from other pages when adding them (choose existing) to a new page.

Yes.. thank you for reminding me. There's a patch floating around this forum that updates Uploadify to use many_many..

If you find it, please post it here.. I'll keep looking. Hopefully whoever wrote it can submit a pull request and we can get that into Github.

Found the patch and applied it.

Thanks Uncle Cheese,

I've set it up like this:

// mysite/code/Photo.php

class Photo extends Image {
 
  static $belongs_many_many = array (
    'Pages' => 'Page'
  );

} 

// mysite/code/Page.php

...

  public static $many_many = array(
    'Photos' => 'Photo'
  );

...

  $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Photos", new MultipleImageUploadField('Photos',' '));

Works like a charm...

Great! Thanks for being the first to test it.
