if ($data = $this->getRequest()->getPost()) {
$model = Mage::getModel('modulename/modulename');
$model->setData($data)->setId($this->getRequest()->getParam('id'));
try {
if ($model->getCreatedTime == NULL || $model->getUpdateTime() == NULL) {

try {
$uploader = new Varien_File_Uploader('image');
$uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png')); // or pdf or anything
$uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(false);
// setAllowRenameFiles(true) -> move your file in a folder the magento way
// setAllowRenameFiles(true) -> move your file directly in the $path folder
$uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);
$path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . '/modulename_images/' ;
$uploader->save($path, $model->getId().'.jpg');

// Mage::getModel('modulename/flatrates')->saveMultipleFlatrates($data, $model->getId(),$this->getRequest()->getParam('cat_id'));
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('modulename')->__('Item was successfully saved'));
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->setFormData(false);
if ($this->getRequest()->getParam('back')) {
$this->_redirect('*/*/edit', array('id' => $model->getId()));
return;
}
$this->_redirect('*/*/');
return;
} catch (Exception $e) {
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError($e->getMessage());
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->setFormData($data);
$this->_redirect('*/*/edit', array('id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('id')));
return;
}
}
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->addError(Mage::helper('modulename')->__('Unable to find item to save'));
$this->_redirect('*/*/');
}
Anything wrong i did here ?
any ideas ?
If any spell mistakes i am really sorry.

Answer 1

In order to get the image preview, you have to use the image field type, not file, like this (look at second parameter):
$fieldset->addField('image', 'image', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('modulename')->__('Image'),
'name' => 'image',
'note' => '(*.jpg, *.png, *.gif)',
));

Answer 2

This is because of you have store your image in Subdirectory of media folder so you have to setvalue() of your image field before display..
like in EditAction() add this code here is my field name profile_pic
if($model->getProfilePic())
{
$model->setProfilePic('testimonial/'.$model->getProfilePic());
}
OR you can use helper to preview that image
