I have previously posted about a plugin I made to store author bios and then output them in various pages. With a LOT of help from @pamtbaau the plugin is almost ready for release. I am having one specific issue: when I upload an image to an author profile, the upload appears to complete, but when I hit save the page reloads and I get the message "Data type 'authors' doesn't exist!", and the image is nowhere to be seen. All other text input saves perfectly in user/data/authors/authors.yaml. I am intending for the images to save in user/images but something is amiss.
Beyond the issue above I'm also calling for a general review of the code if anyone is willing to point out anything I may have missed, potential improvements etc. Thanks.
The Aura Authors plugin as it stands is available here: https://github.com/matt-j-m/grav-plugin-aura-authors
It integrates closely with my original Aura plugin, the develop branch of which is sitting ready for its next major release to support Aura Authors: https://github.com/matt-j-m/grav-plugin-aura/tree/develop
Below is my blueprint for saving the author data and image.
Cheers
