image custom disk/folder

[AurelDragut]

Hey fellas,

As some of you might know, i am working on some more complex page templates where i would like to add a few image fields on each template. I got their structure but i have a little problem when i start to implement. I wanna do something like a folder called uploads/pages/pagename/imagefile so i was thinking that maybe there is a way to optionally specify disk and folder when setting up the image field type so they can be read by the setImageAttribute function.

What do you think?

This is already an option

https://laravel-backpack.readme.io/v3.0/docs/crud-fields#section-image

[AurelDragut]

Yes, but it would be nice if we add some parameters to that public function setImageAttribute($value) besides the value, so it won't be necessary to create a function for every image field

[OwenMelbz]

setImageAttribute is core to laravel, it's nothing todo with backpack, it's just used as a callback when uploading an image.

[AurelDragut]

Oh, right! I didn't recognize the way its name is constructed (it's a mutator). My bad!

[tabacitu]

i don't think that's possible. SetImageAttribute() is in the model, $crud is in the controller, no connection between them.

I think a more appropriate solution to this would be a modified "upload_multiple" field. Something like "upload_multiple_images". That way you can have only one mutator. Sounds good?

[AurelDragut]

Yeah, @tabacitu, it sounds good when i don't want to use the crop feature and it's ok. Anything else might be too much work to do and it doesn't seem necessary atm.

i am using
type field image for uploding when i delete the entry from database ....then the image is not remove from uploads folder

public function setImageAttribute($value)
{
$attribute_name = "image";
$disk = "uploads";
$destination_path = "drinks-category";

    // if the image was erased
    if ($value==null) {
        // delete the image from disk
        \Storage::disk($disk)->delete($this->image);
        dd($this->image);

        // set null in the database column
        $this->attributes[$attribute_name] = null;
    }

    // if a base64 was sent, store it in the db
    if (starts_with($value, 'data:image'))
    {
        // 0. Make the image
        $image = \Image::make($value);
        // 1. Generate a filename.
        $filename = md5($value.time()).'.jpg';
        // 2. Store the image on disk.
        \Storage::disk($disk)->put($destination_path.'/'.$filename, $image->stream());
        // 3. Save the path to the database
        $this->attributes[$attribute_name] = $destination_path.'/'.$filename;
    }
}
