Magento2.1 Category image upload showing preview after upload image but not working after save category.

this is magento version default bug.

To solve this issue by apply bellow patch.

Opne this url : https://github.com/magento/magento2/pull/5978/files

You have to override below core files code with file code from given URL.

vendor/magento/module-catalog/Controller/Adminhtml/Category/Image/Upload.php
vendor/magento/module-catalog/Controller/Adminhtml/Category/Save.php
vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/Category.php
vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/Category/Attribute/Backend/Image.php
vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/Category/DataProvider.php

Now magento-2.1 working code for custom image attribute of category.

I solved this issue by setting the backend_model for my attribute in the eav_attribute table to Magento\Catalog\Model\Category\Attribute\Backend\Image

When a category is saved in Magento 2 it walks through the attributes calling the afterSave function of each attribute.

As you can see below the function Magento\Catalog\Model\Category\Attribute\Backend\Image::afterSave moves the file from the tmp folder to correct folder.

public function afterSave($object)
{
    $image = $object->getData($this->getAttribute()->getName(), null);

    if ($image !== null) {
        try {
            $this->getImageUploader()->moveFileFromTmp($image);
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $this->_logger->critical($e);
        }
    }
    return $this;
}

  • this fails in \Magento\Catalog\Model\ImageUploader::moveFileFromTmp as the $baseTmpImagePath contains both $basePath and $baseTmpPath => the copyFile method fails

Check if you have created a preference for Magento\Catalog\Model\Category\DataProvider, and your new DataProvider has this code in it.

class DataProvider extends \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category\DataProvider {

protected function getFieldsMap()
{
    $fields = parent::getFieldsMap();
    $fields['content'][] = 'custom_attribute_name';
    return $fields;
}

  • You can override only the public methods of AbstractPdf.php For protected methods, you can override the methods from where these methods are called. For example to override the method called insertLogo, override the Invoice.php which is calling insertLogo in getPdf method. Oct 29, 2018 at 4:32
