Hi, I’ve tryed this and it works fine, when the file field has value. But when I’m editing back the record and don’t change the file. The file gets deleted. Anyone of you had the same problem?

Thank you thank you thank you for the new $form->bind() override!! My form was functioning properly when submitting by itself when not embedded, but when it was embedded in another form, I could not access $this->getValue(‘myfield’) in the embedded form class. Your method of iterating through each embedded form and manually-binding the submitted values fixed everything!

When embedding a file form into another form, I got “Unexpected extra form field named…” with the name of my embedded form. Any ideas?

I had the same problem, and found that there may be a bug in the function processUploadedFile().

At the end, it calls : return $this->saveFile($field, $filename);

If you’re looking in saveFile() params, you see there are 3 : $field, $filename and $file. If $file is null, the method take it from $this->values :

if (is_null($file))
{
$file = $this->getValue($field);
}

As you say, the problem came here, as the form object still does not have values.
But wait, the method processUploadedFile() which calls saveFile() HAS the value itself.

So, if you replace :

return $this->saveFile($field, $filename);

bye :

return $this->saveFile($field, $filename, $values[$field]);

Tadaaaam ! It works !

This one works for me also but i dont want random filename, i would like to have filename coresponding with picture ID in my database.

previously I used this method to get such result:

class Picture extends BasePicture
{
public function generateUrlFilename(sfValidatedFile $file)
{
return $this->getId().$file->getExtension($file->getOriginalExtension());
}
}

It dont work with this tutorial couse while file is saved to disk its not yet saved in database.

Anyone can help me fix my problem?
