cakephp 2.0 Upload plugin - plugins

Question

I am attempting to use the cakePHP Upload plugin just loaded the latest version.
I am on a Bluehost server
PHP 5.
Crested a test table similar to the example in the documentation
here is the add.ctp
<?php
/**
File: office_apps/view/VwImageTest/add.ctp
Created: 3/19/2015 - mfm
**/
?>
<div class="imagetest form">
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('VwImageTest', array('type' => 'file') );
echo $this->Form->input('code');
echo $this->Form->input('description');
echo $this->Form->input('image', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('image_dir', array('type' => 'hidden'));
echo $this->Form->end('Add');
?>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<h3>Actions</h3>
<ul>
<li><?php echo $this->Html->link('List Images', array( 'action' => 'index'));?></li>
</ul>
</div>
Here is the error I get when the Add button is pressed.
Error: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'Array' in 'field list'
Query submitted by application
SQL Query: INSERT INTO thewoode_virtual_workshop.vw_image_tests (code, description, image_dir, image, modified, created, id) VALUES ('PKFPBU', 'Vertex Click Pen Bushing', '', Array, '2015-03-19 12:24:29', '2015-03-19 12:24:29', '550b145d-0dbc-4764-845f-41ee45591f3e')
here is the Model file
<?php
/**
* file: office_apps/model/vw_image_test.php
*
* Image Test Model
*/
class VwImageTest extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Image Test';
var $useTable = 'vw_image_test';
/*
public $actsAs = array(
'Upload.Upload' => array(
'image'
)
);
*/
public $actsAs = array(
'Upload.Upload' => array(
'image' => array(
'fields' => array(
'dir' => 'image_dir'
)
)
)
);
}
?>
<?php
/**
* file: office_apps/model/vw_image_test.php
*
* Image Test Model
*/
class VwImageTest extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Image Test';
var $useTable = 'vw_image_test';
/*
public $actsAs = array(
'Upload.Upload' => array(
'image'
)
);
*/
public $actsAs = array(
'Upload.Upload' => array(
'image' => array(
'fields' => array(
'dir' => 'image_dir'
)
)
)
);
}
?>
LEt's try this again
<?php
/*
File: ../virtual_studio/office_apps/Controller/VwImageTestController.php
Created: 3/19/3025 by mfm
*/
class VwImageTestController extends AppController {
public $components = array('Session');
public $helpers=array('Html','Form','Session');
public function index() {
$this->set('imagetest', $this->VwImageTest->find('all'));
}
public function add() {
if (!empty($this->request->data)) {
$this->VwImageTest->create($this->request->data);
if ($this->VwImageTest->save()) {
$this->Session->setFlash('This image has been save');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('This Image could not be saved. Please try again.');
}
}
}
}
?>
When I run the app and use the "Add" function here is what I get
Database Error
Error: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'Array' in 'field list'

Has me stumped
Thanks in advance

The only thing I see that might be causing your problem is the use of $this->data. You should try $this->request->data as in the following in your add action:
if (!empty($this->request->data)) {
$this->VwImageTest->create($this->request->data);
if ($this->VwImageTest->save()) {
$this->Session->setFlash('This image has been save');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('This Image could not be saved. Please try again.');
}
}
