Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how the edit_action is working.

I have a model: Model_Car where it has an image as part of the model with the properties:
image_name, type, size, extension.

I'm able to save the image, but the model save fails since the properties such as: type, size and extension are not sent with the Post.

I see in the edit aciton:

        $car = Model_Car::find($id);
        $val = Model_Car::validate('edit');

        if ($val->run())
        {
            $car->name = Input::post('name');
      //      $car->real_file_name = Input::post('file_type');
      //      $car->file_type = Input::post('file_type');
....
        }
         else
        {
            if (Input::method() == 'POST')
            {
                             if (Upload::is_valid())
                             {
                                 Upload::save();
                             }
                            
                             // get the list of successfully uploaded files
                             foreach(Upload::get_files() as $file)
                             {
                                   $car->name = $val->validated('name');
                                   $car->real_file_name = $file['name'];
                                   $car->file_type= $file['mimetype'];
                             }
                             Session::set_flash('error', $val->error());
              }
        }


So I tried to comment out the main validation section, but it still throws back the errors even though the file saves correctly (which I would like to not... both should fail and rollback if one of the processes fails.)

I would also like this to be able to handle multiple images saving a new row for each image uploaded using the same content entered into the form.

So any ideas on why or how I should setup the action to not throw back the errors on fields I want to set from the uploaded image?

Are there transient properties?

Thanks.
