How to upload images in articles?

[ozdemirburak]

Hi Rafael, that image field only holds the path, not a blob, so if you are planning to use Faker for that, you need to save that image then store the field in the database.

If you'd like to use that file template, then just create your form file like below.

@extends('layouts.admin')

@section('content')
    @include('partials.admin.form.init', ['action' => 'create'])
    @include('partials.admin.form.text', ['attribute' => 'title'])
    @include('partials.admin.form.file', ['attribute' => 'image'])
    @include('partials.admin.form.submit')
@endsection

And in your controller, pass the image field to store and update methods.

public function store(Request $request)
{
    return $this->createFlashRedirect(Article::class, $request, 'image');
}

Thanks man!

It didn't work, it saved me like this in the database: C:\Users[my_user]\AppData\Local\Temp\php1307.tmp

In ModelFactory.php I have this:

$factory->define(\App\Models\Article::class, function (Faker $faker) {
    $public_path = public_path('/img/blog/');
    return [
        'category_id' => $faker->numberBetween(1, 5),
        'content' => implode('<br/><br/>', $faker->paragraphs(8)),
        'description' => $faker->sentence(5),
        'published_at' => $faker->date($format = 'Y-m-d', $max = 'now'),
        'title' => Str::title($faker->words(4, true)),
        'image' => $faker->image($public_path,980,600, null, false),
    ];
});

And in ArticleController.php I have this:

/**
     * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse|\Illuminate\Routing\Redirector
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        return $this->createFlashRedirect(Article::class, $request, 'image');
    }

@rafamem hi, I also run into this problem and for me it is simply windows directory separator problem.
File upload function in app/base/AdminController.php file on line 189 [$host, $uploadPath] = explode('/public/', $fullPath);
as you see explode function is looking for "/public/" with slashes which will cause problem on windows host. Just change slashes with backslashes like [$host, $uploadPath] = explode('\public\', $fullPath); or remove slashes and leave only 'public'. Hope this will be helpful
