Editor Upload // Example of integration with Amazon S3 Bucket

fabioberetta

Good morning all,

I am using Editor Upload function to upload users photos and documents. I would like to use amazon S3 bucket as a repository for those documents.

I was wondering if this is possible and if an example of integration exists somewhere.

I did not find any evident google link.

Sorry, this is not something I have an example of. However, you could presumably use the S3 API (or ssh) to upload the file from your server-side script like you might with any other file.

Thanks Allan,

I did try but despite it looked pretty simple I hit some issues with the namespace. It seems I cannot call the API functions from within the Upload constructor.

I to not think it is a problem with your library .It is due to my limited knowledge of PHP namespaces.

I will sitck with my filesystem or the moment. If I make it work I will try to post the example.

I wrote a solution to this problem. If anyone is interested, I can post what I did.

I am interested!

Please post it. i did some tests but rather unsuccessful, it would be great to have a working example to start with.

This is an example based upon one of my implementations using joins. I'm uploading images to s3 that I embed in a website, which is why the ACL is public-read. You may require other options. I recommend you vet every line of this code prior to implementing it yourself. It is simply an example. Use at your own risk.

Also, I'm using aws php sdk v3.

Editor::inst($db, 'table_name')
    ->fields(
        Field::inst('table_name.file_location')
            ->setFormatter('Format::ifEmpty', null)
            ->upload(
                Upload::inst(function($file,$id){
                    require_once '/path/to/aws/cred/and/s3client/init';
                    try {
                        $result = $S3Client->putObject(array(
                            'Bucket' => 'BucketName',
                            'Key' => $file['name'],
                            'SourceFile' => $file['tmp_name'],
