In order to get around this issue of having multiple models using the
FileUpload.FileUpload behavior I did the following:
created two additional behavior files:
private_file_upload.php and public_file_upload.php in /app/plugins/
file_upload/models/behaviors
containing the following code respectively:
<?php
App::Import('Behavior','FileUpload.file_upload');
class PrivateFileUploadBehavior extends FileUploadBehavior {
}
?>
<?php
App::Import('Behavior','FileUpload.file_upload');
class PublicFileUploadBehavior extends FileUploadBehavior {
}
?>
then in the model configurations I changed
var $actsAs = array(
'FileUpload.FileUpload'
to
var $actsAs = array(
'FileUpload.PrivateFileUpload'
and
var $actsAs = array(
'FileUpload.PublicFileUpload'
This has allowed me to use two separate configurations for each upload
type, you can probably use this same method, just create separate
behavior files to extend the base FileUpload for each different
configuration you want to have.
