I have an entity which is MotorsAdsFile, I use an event listener to add the image to the table after it's been dragged and dropped
Upload Listener
<?php
namespace DirectoryPlatform\AppBundle\EventListener;
use Doctrine\Common\Persistence\ObjectManager;
use Oneup\UploaderBundle\Event\PostPersistEvent;
use DirectoryPlatform\AppBundle\Entity\MotorsAdsFile;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Routing\Router;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use FOS\UserBundle\Event\FilterUserResponseEvent;
use FOS\UserBundle\FOSUserEvents;
class UploadListener
{
protected $manager;
public function __construct(ObjectManager $manager)
{
$this->manager = $manager;
}
public function onUpload(PostPersistEvent $event)
{
$file = $event->getFile();
$object = new MotorsAdsFile();
// $object = new Image();
$object->setImageName($file->getPathName());
$this->manager->persist($object);
$this->manager->flush();
}
}
The image is dragged and dropped, the thumbnail preview shows up, at this time the image file path is added to the motorsadsfile table and the image is also moved to the gallery folder. This works just fine except that I need to assign the image a listing_id which is only generated after the form has been completed and submitted.

Maybe there's an event I could listen for that coincides with successful form submission so that I could just add the listing_id to the motorsadsfile table after the listing has been created and actually has an id?
One way I could see maybe doing this is in dropzone.js setting it to populate a hidden field in the form with the file path so it can be used later but I'd like to know if you have any suggestions.
Image and Listing are separate entities which are join by the listing_id from Image and the id from Listing.
