Gravity Forms photo upload

I came across this snippet, which does almost what I am looking for. Problem is I cannot get it to work with gravity forms, hoping someone can spot my error and help with the missing part.

Here is the snippet

Here is my page template

Here is a screenshot of the form code

The missing part is that I want to map this to a set post_id rather than the current post of the form like it does, so if anyone could figure that out too I'd appreciate it.

This question has been answered.

Arnav Joy says:

you have to change the following line of code

foreach ($_FILES as $file => $array) {
$newupload = insert_attachment($file,$post->ID);
}

see this $post->ID

you have to change this to your desired post id say 50

so here is the code

$mypostID = 50;



foreach ($_FILES as $file => $array) {

        $newupload = insert_attachment($file,$mypostID);

      }

here is the full code

<?php

/*

Template Name: Add Photos

*/



function insert_attachment($file_handler,$post_id,$setthumb='false') {

 

  // check to make sure its a successful upload

  if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();

 

  require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');

  require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');

  require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');

 

  $attach_id = media_handle_upload( $file_handler, $post_id );

 

  if ($setthumb) update_post_meta($post_id,'_thumbnail_id',$attach_id);

  return $attach_id;

}





global $post;

$mypostID = 50; // change it to your desired post id



if ( $_FILES ) {

  $files = $_FILES['input_1'];

  foreach ($files['name'] as $key => $value) {

    if ($files['name'][$key]) {

      $file = array(

        'name'     => $files['name'][$key],

        'type'     => $files['type'][$key],

        'tmp_name' => $files['tmp_name'][$key],

        'error'    => $files['error'][$key],

        'size'     => $files['size'][$key]

      );



      $_FILES = array("input_1" => $file);



      foreach ($_FILES as $file => $array) {

        //$newupload = insert_attachment($file,$post->ID); // this was your code

		

		$newupload = insert_attachment($file,$mypostID); // this is my code

		

      }

    }

  }

} 



genesis();

see the line

$mypostID = 50; // change it to your desired post id

Okay, that may work for the second part. I can't tell yet

Still need to solve the Gravity Forms compatibility problem before I can tell if that's working

Thanks for the reply though

sorry for miss confusion

ktrusak says:
The way I worded the question up top may not have been best because it is two parts.

(On the first line up top) The main problem is that I am using that code snippet you can see with that first link and the code snippet doesn't work (it wasn't made for Gravity Forms). I also attached the current page template and the code from the gravity form to help. Hoping someone sees where I messed up.

No visible change to process. I am still having the file submitted with nothing being added to a gallery/media library
08/14/12 1:33pm

Arnav Joy says:
ok , can you show me the result of

<?php print_r( $_FILES);?>

and can you check if the image is uploading to the folder if not try setting the permission of the folder to 777

ktrusak says:
it just prints Array()

The files are uploading the the gravity forms file: /files/gravity_forms/11-27379e615c3b26b6d2e0b70167319e03/2012/08/bentrod14.jpg

I think, was having some problem with your php code.
Current



function insert_attachment($file_handler,$post_id,$setthumb='false') {

 

  // check to make sure its a successful upload

  if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();

 

  require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');

  $attach_id = media_handle_upload( $file_handler, $post_id );

 

  if ($setthumb) update_post_meta($post_id,'_thumbnail_id',$attach_id);

  return $attach_id;

}

Wrong
// check to make sure its a successful upload
if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();

Fixed
