Hi everyone i am using FileInput
kartik widget in yii2
project and uploading and saving works fine but i am having problem while updating the images
I can get the images path on the update form and create and array and display in as initialpreview
in the widget but the problem is that my files
field is required field so even there are some values in initialpreview
the form gives error to upload image as its required field. So what should i do here?
I only want to give preview of their uploaded pics to the user but if they dont make any changes than i dont want to update anything for images
Following is my view
code and model
code
return [
[[ 'price', 'created_date', 'created_by', 'updated_date', 'updated_by','file','address'], 'required'],
[['price'], 'number'],
[['address'], 'string', 'max' => 255],
[['file'], 'file', 'extensions'=>'jpg, gif, png', 'maxFiles' => 4],
];
<?php
$initalpreview = array();
foreach($model->adsImages as $images) {
$initalpreview[] = Html::img('/upload/'.$images->image, ['class'=>'file-preview-image']);
}
?>
<?=$form->field($model, 'file[]')->widget(FileInput::classname(), [
'options' => ['accept' => 'image/*',
'multiple'=>true],
'pluginOptions' => [
'maxFileCount' => 5,
'initialPreview'=> $initalpreview,
'showUpload' => false,
]
]); ?>
So what should i do here?
Thank you
