Hi guys

I need to have a Dailyimport from CSV to a DataObject. I have got it reading the CSV and putting together then writing the DataObject but now I need it to also read a folder of images and import those into the DataObject has_many.

So far I have loaded all the images into an array, and checked them against the import. So is there a function I can use when looping over the images to import them into the assets/ folder and load them against the DataObject? The images will already be in a folder on the host.

Here are my objects:

class VehiclePreowned extends DataObject {

	public static $db = array (
		'UniqeNo' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'StockNo' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'Year' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'Make' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'Model' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'Desc' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'BodyStyle' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'Doors' => 'INT',
		'ChassisNo' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'CC' => 'INT',
		'FuelType' => 'Enum("Petrol,Diesel")',
		'KM' => 'INT',
		'ExtColour' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'IntColour' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'Comments' => 'HTMLText'
	);

	public static $has_one = array (
		'Folder' => 'Folder'
	);
	
	public static $has_many = array (
		'VehicleImages' => 'VehiclePreownedImage'
	);
	
	static $searchable_fields = array(
		'Make',
		'Model'
	);
	static $summary_fields = array(
		'Make',
		'Model'
	);
	
	function canCreate() {return true;}
   	function canEdit() {return true;}
   	function canDelete() {return true;}
	function canPublish() {return true;}


	public function getCMSFields() {
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		
		//$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Main",new TextField('Name','Name'));
		
		return $fields;
	}

	function onBeforeWrite() {
		parent::onBeforeWrite();
		if(isset($_POST['Name'])) {
		  $clean_name = SiteTree::generateURLSegment($_POST['Name']);
			if($this->FolderID) {
				$this->Folder()->setName($clean_name);
				$this->Folder()->Title = $clean_name;

				$this->Folder()->write();
			}
			else {
				$folder = Folder::findOrMake($clean_name);
				$this->FolderID = $folder->ID;
			}
		}
	}

}

Image DataObject and Image

class VehiclePreownedImage extends DataObject {

	public static $db = array (
	);
	static $has_one = array(
		'VehiclePreowned' => 'VehiclePreowned',
		'VehicleImageFile' => 'VehiclePreownedImage_Image'
   	);
	function canCreate() {return true;}
   	function canEdit() {return true;}
   	function canDelete() {return true;}
	function canPublish() {return true;}

}
class VehiclePreownedImage_Image extends Image {
 
   function generateVehicleImageListing($gd) {
      return $gd->croppedResize(191,161);
   }
   function generateVehicleImageThumb($gd) {
      return $gd->croppedResize(74,63);
   }
   function generateVehicleImageMain($gd) {
      return $gd->croppedResize(383,325);
   }
   function generateVehicleImageLarge($gd) {
      return $gd->croppedResize(700,600);
   }
}

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers!!

So is there a function I can use when looping over the images to import them into the assets/ folder and load them against the DataObject?

For loading them into assets I'm not use of the easiest /best way of doing that, most of the loadIntoFile() functionality assumes it is a file upload rather than moving a file. First I guess you should move the file to assets (using PHP exec() or how ever you want to move the file) then either

a) run Filesystem::sync(). This will create all the image dataobjects for you.

b) create the dataobjects manually

foreach($images as $image) {
$img = new Image();
$img->Filename = $image['Filename'];
$img->write();

To attach the image to a DO then it's a little easier

$do->VehicleImages()->add($img);

Thats prefect thanks Willr. I went with creating the dataobjects manually
