Hi guys,
I have been using grocery crud for just over a week and I love it! I just have a few questions.
1. How do I save an uploaded images path in the database? For example I upload the image "cat.png" to "assets/uploads/images" how do i save the path "assets/uploads/images/cat.png" to the database? at the moment it saves cat.png only.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am not sure about this cause I haven't tried it myself but I think you might be able to set at least part of the directory in the database.
1) you set the path to "./" (which is the document_root) - Keep in mind that with this, any file uploaded will be on the document_root directory until you move/delete it
2) you do a callback_before_insert/update that moves the file from your document_root to the folder you actually want.
3) In that same callback, you prepend that directory to the $post['your_file_field'] variable.
That may work. As I've said, I haven't tried it myself, but if it does the trick for you...
The other option (I can think of) is to actually modify the GC library file.
Quick question: Why are you trying to save the upload path to the database?

Well.. mind it.. the solution provided will definately help you store the path in the table... but it also will fail the GC to identify the actual image when in edit / view. Cuz it automatically appends the path to the image. It will rather be recommended to append the path in the code where u using it rather then storing the same in the table.
Happy GCing :)
