Answer 1

Try this,

make sure before you need to create folder media/Gallery

public function saveAction()
 {
 if ( $this->getRequest()->getPost() ) {
 try {
 $postData = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
 $uploader = new Varien_File_Uploader('imageurl');
 $uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png')); // Your Format Here
 $uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(true);
 $uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);
 $path = Mage::getBaseDir('media').DS.'Gallery'.DS; 
 $img = $path. $_FILES['imageurl']['name'];
 $filename = $uploader->getNewFileName($img);
 $uploader->save($path, $filename);
 $galleryModel = Mage::getModel('gallery/gallery'); 
 $galleryModel->setId($this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))
 ->setTitle($postData['title'])
 ->setDescription($postData['description'])
 ->setStatus($postData['status'])
 ->setImageurl($filename)
 ->save();
 //var_dump($uploader);exit();
 Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Item was successfully saved'));
 Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->setgalleryData(false);
 $this->_redirect('*/*/');
 return;
 } catch (Exception $e) {
 Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError($e->getMessage());
 Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->setgalleryData($this->getRequest()->getPost());
 $this->_redirect('*/*/edit', array('id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('id')));
 return;
 }
 }
 $this->_redirect('*/*/');
 }

Answer 2

Looks like you posted the form without uploading an image. Make sure that the form has the enctype='multipart/form-data' attribute.

• Develop: I need to create admin phtml also

Answer 3

As Fabian says and what I understand as per your screenshot you need to add enctype='multipart/form-data' for that in your Form.php of your module add below code.

 $form = new Varien_Data_Form(array(
 'id' => 'edit_form',
 'action' => $this->getUrl(
 'adminhtml/controller/action',
 array(
 '_current' => true,
 'continue' => 0,
 )
 ),
 'method' => 'post',
 'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data' //add this line 
 ));

EDIT

 $fieldset->addField('file', 'file', array(
 'label' => Mage::helper('gallery')->__('Image'),
 'class' => 'disable',
 'required' => true,
 'name' => 'imageurl',
 ));

• Develop: I changed that also still not upload I think I missed something in savefunction()
• Murtuza Zabuawala: provide your addFeild code
• Develop: $fieldset->addField('imageurl', 'image', array( 'label' => Mage::helper('gallery')->__('Image'), 'name' => 'imageurl', 'required' => true, 'note' => '(*.jpg, *.png, *.gif)', ))
• Murtuza Zabuawala: @Develop check Edit part
• Develop: File was not uploaded. i got this error

Answer 4

The issue happen with me. I fixed the issue by edit code on block form (example: app/code/local/Leric/Blog/Block/Manage/Blog/Edit/Form.php)

Add 'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data' to form:

$form = new Varien_Data_Form(
 array(
 'id' => 'edit_form',
 'action' => $this->getUrl('*/*/save', array('id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))),
 'method' => 'post',
 'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data',
 )
 );
