Well, I wrote this lil script for my board so that my member can upload images/pics since my board host lots of images of movie stars and all such, and database grows really fast if using Attachment Manager. It's been released at my forum for a while now, and didn't have time to post it here... it's fully tested, but maybe there'r still few bugs may be found.

What can you do with this script?
- Allow certain membergroups to access the script
- Upload img/banner in signature (sig hosting)
- You can set the max width & height, in case ppl upload huge image & break table cell of your forum
- You can set max filesize and allow certain extensions to be uploaded

lots more features will be added to v.2 of the script, admin can add file extensions, filesize and keep track on upload dir via Admin CP.

P.S. Due to mah busy schedule, support for this hack will be very limited ... You guys can find me on at my board sometimes, or post bugs in this thread: http://all4actions.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3389

If you want certain membergroups to see this File/Image Uploader option, you can use conditional in your template, i.e:


Code:

Can you make it so that the pictures can only be posted on your domain or other selected ones as well? DOn't need people eaqting up my bandwidth again with this :(

Looks awesome though

how about disabling hotlink?

[nexialys]

would be simply better if the attached files are included in the post, like when we add smilies in our posts... so users don't have to copy/paste the code...

[Mr. HillBilly]

Where can users see what images they have uploaded?

[Mephisteus]

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg ty :)

[MindTrix]

Will this allow uploads more than say 3mb though or is it only for very small files.

[nexialys]

@ Mindtrix : PHP upload is limited by your server, not by scripts...

[ranger2kxlt]

can you limit the number of files uploaded in one post?

[TCB]

Thanks, I will try :D


While editing the showthread_quickreply template, I kinda lost it after this:
<!--######## Scroll down about 3/4 of the page, look for: ######## -->

Look for your signature fieldset, and ABOVE IT, ADD:

What is the exact line that I need to look for, so that I can put the next thing above it? Because after 'look for' there's nothing to look for :surprised:

what happens if a file already exists?

if its overwritten is there a way to make it generate an error instead?

It won't overwrite, but to print an error message instead.

What about security issues - will it test to see if the file is an image ?

Reason I ask, is that with a tool like this, someone could upload a FTP php script and then access your whole server with web-server privileges...

You can set certain file extensions to be uploaded. Default set: jpg, jpeg, gif, png

Just checking that it will reject evilscript.jpg.php ?

I used strrchr() function which searches from the end of the filename; therefore, .php will match as in evilscript.jpg.php.

[Natch]

I'll shaddup now then ;)

[Ber|Art]

Thank, very nice addition :)

[Mickie D]

i would not use the OR conditionals in templates i would use ||

as i have many problems with that conditional

if you have problems with the image upload option change

I'm releasing my Upload/Image Uploader v2 soon that will have all the functions/features request above. :)

[SVTOA]

would be simply better if the attached files are included in the post, like when we add smilies in our posts... so users don't have to copy/paste the code...

I think that is certainly doable and will see if I can get that to work.

With regard to the template edits, for editor_smilebox this looks a little cleaner:

insert at the bottom of the template:

[TrangNgoc]

Thanks tnguy3n *installed* :ermm:

[qhoa]

what happen the pic is not show on the post (just red X)
thanks

[tnguy3n]

right click on redX (broken image) to see where the image located on your server, then make proper adjustment.

[qhoa]

hey thanks i solved them
it is my bad (typo url in the upload. file)
again, thanks

[NuclioN]

It gives problems with the chmod. I'm sure this is set correct and all the paths are ok. It is showing other errors when the image is to large etc. but no upload possible.

[CHIngs]

How can I change the FILENAME to the USERID so that each user can only upload 1 file?

[HeloHi]

I'm releasing my Upload/Image Uploader v2 soon that will have all the functions/features request above. :)

I am subscribing to this thread in anticipation :)

This is exactly what I want when the daily folder creator is added :cool:

Great hack!

[cdoyle]

This sounds like a great hack, we also have the webpage hack installed on our forum, and have been looking for way to give our users a way to upload images to use with it.

Is V2 close to being released? If it is, I'll wait til it's ready before installing.

So everyone seems to be pretty happy with this one? Any major problems they've noticed?

Chris.

[cdoyle]

Anyword on the next version?

[jsharper]

Is it me, or is www.all4actions.net down/dead?

[sketch42]

heres some new installation instructions, that are much more clear i think.


wonderful hack all in all

[esology]

It gives problems with the chmod. I'm sure this is set correct and all the paths are ok. It is showing other errors when the image is to large etc. but no upload possible.
Me too. I have tried numerous paths in the uploader.php file. I know my path is right.

is it possible that you can mak this have an extra button to make a thumbnail image? like after you upload you get this see attachment

and have a new bbcode for the image and thumbnail.. i think that would be an excellent addition

[Hornstar]

Ok, this is looking, nice, Can a user view all images that s/he has posted, incase they forget the url?

[esology]

Anyone try this with 3.5.1?

[tnguy3n]

I've built a new version of this hack, but I don't have an ETA for the release.

[esology]

Thanks for the reply. I was just about to start trying to make it work with the current version. Maybe I'll wait for the debut.

[A.Ah]

any update?

[Tommy12345]

This skip works perfectly, the best out there. It is simple but very customizable. Found security problem u are not using move_uploaded_file and is_uploaded_file command.
