Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 5.3 or higher - CakePHP 2.x Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Composer [](#composer) 1. Create a new directory for myapp ``` mkdir myapp cd myapp ``` 2. Install CakePHP using composer ([based on CakePHP Cookbook](http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/installation/advanced-installation.html#installing-cakephp-with-composer) 1. Setup Composer and get CakePHP: ``` echo '{}' > composer.json composer config vendor-dir Vendor composer config repositories.0 pear 'http://pear.cakephp.org' composer require 'pear-cakephp/cakephp:>=2.4.0' ``` 2. Bake a new project ``` Vendor/bin/cake bake project . ``` 3. You may define `CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH` to a relative path as suggested in the cookbook by adding the following to `webroot/index.php`: ``` define( 'CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', ROOT . DS . APP_DIR . '/Vendor/pear-pear.cakephp.org/CakePHP' ); ``` 4. Add the following lines to `Config/bootstrap.php`: ``` // Load composer autoload. require APP . '/Vendor/autoload.php'; // Auto load CloudinaryCake plugin \CloudinaryCakeLoader::load(); ``` 3. Install Cloudinary CakePHP ``` composer require 'cloudinary/cloudinary_cake_php:>=1.0.0' ``` 4. Configure Cloudinary using the `CLOUDINARY_URL` environment variable, or the `Config/CloudinaryPrivate.php` configuration file ### Manual [](#manual) 1. Create a CakePHP project 2. Download cloudinary\_php from [here](https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_php/tarball/master) 3. Extract the cloudinary\_php archive into `vendors` library 4. Download cloudinary\_cake\_php from [here](https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_cake_php/tarball/master) 5. Extract the cloudinary\_cake\_php archive into `vendors` library 6. Configure cloudinary 1. Environment variable - `export CLOUDINARY\_URL = "cloudinary://API_KEY:API_SECRET@CLOUD_NAME"` ([Check your settings in Cloudinary console](https://cloudinary.com/console)) 2. Create `app/Config/CloudinaryPrivate.php` using `vendors/cloudinary_php/samples/PhotoAlbumCake/Config/CloudinaryPrivate.php.sample` 7. Load the cloudinary plugin by adding the following lines to `app/Config/bootstrap.php`: ``` // Load plugin CakePlugin::load('CloudinaryCake', array('bootstrap' => true, 'routes' => false, 'path' => ROOT . DS 'vendors' . DS 'cloudinary_php' . DS . 'cake_plugin' . DS . 'CloudinaryCake' . DS)); // required when using `CloudinaryPrivate.php` for cloudinary configuration Configure::load('CloudinaryPrivate'); \Cloudinary::config(Configure::read('cloudinary')); ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### CloudinaryBehavior [](#cloudinarybehavior) CloudinaryBehavior adds Cloudinary support for CakePHP Models. It helps storing references to cloudinary images in a simple text field of your model. #### Setup [](#setup) Assuming you have a `Photo` model with `cloudinaryIdentifier` text field for storing cloudinary images references - you can add the following code to your model `Models/photo.php`: ``` [...] class Photo extends AppModel { public $actsAs = array('CloudinaryCake.Cloudinary' => array('fields' => array('cloudinaryIdentifier'))); [...] } ``` #### Usage [](#usage-1) This will allow you to access the `cloudinaryIdentifier` as a CloudinaryField. Here's a sample controller code - `Controller/PhotosController.php`: ``` class PhotosController extends AppController { [...] // set the specified Photo's image to the default one public function set_default_image($id) { $options = array('conditions' => array('Photo.' . $this->Photo->primaryKey => $id)); $photo = $this->Photo->find('first', $options); $photo['Photo']['cloudinaryIdentifier']->upload(DEFAULT_IMAGE_PATH); $this->Photo->save($photo); } [...] // Creates a new image from post data. Sets $image_url to the cloudinary url of the image with the given transformation. public function add() { $this->Photo->create(); $success = $this->Photo->save($this->request->data); if ($success) { $image_url = $this->Photo->data['Photo']['cloudinaryIdentifier']->url(array( "width" => 100, "height" => 100, "crop" => "fill")); } $this->set('photo', $this->Photo->data); } [...] } ``` ### CloudinaryHelper [](#cloudinaryhelper) CloudinaryHelper is an extension of the CakePHP InputHelper. It can be used for loading cloudinary\_js, presenting images, creating forms with image inputs and more. #### Setup [](#setup-1) You can load CloudinaryHelper using two methods - `Controller/PhotosController.php`: ``` [...] class PhotosController extends AppController { // Replace the FormHelper with CloudinaryHelper (recommended - accessible as $this->Form) public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form' => array('className' => 'CloudinaryCake.Cloudinary')); // Add CloudinaryHelper in addition to the default FormHelper (accessible as $this->Cloudinary instead of $this->Form) //public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'CloudinaryCake.Cloudinary'); [...] } ``` #### Usage [](#usage-2) You then can use it in any view of the controller: `View/Layouts/default.ctp`: ``` [...] [...] # Include cloudinary_js dependencies (requires jQuery) echo $this->Form->cloudinary_includes(); # Setup cloudinary_js using the current cloudinary_php configuration echo cloudinary_js_config(); [...] [...] ``` `View/Photos/add.ctp`: ``` [...] [...] ``` ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 59% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
