Uploading Images With News Submissions

Worker Joined: Jun 07, 2006 Posts: 114

Hi all....My website is using Raven's RavenNuke76 v2.02.02 Distro package.

I want to begin allowing my website users to submitt stories and news. In addition to any text, I would also like to give them the option to submitt images relating to their story.

I do understand that users can currently link to an image URL, but I want to give people the option to uplolad an image from their local drives. Usually the websites I see that have this facility have a 'browse' field where a user can locate a file on their local drive. Is this possible to implement with my php-nuke package?

If not, what is the next best solution?

From what I can see and work out, as it curently stands, I can only advise users to seperately e-mail any related images to me for inclusion with a story they may be submitting....and this way sounds a little 'messy' to proceed with, particularly if your website is going to be very busy with submissions.

not as simple as you might think....
has to be build in and another thing that comes to mind is security,allowed sizes,extensions,..and another doorway to hack the place as you have to give upload/writing rights..

You can do that with nukeWYSIWYG, but as hitwalker correctly states, you have to very careful about that (which is why it's turned off by default in nukeWYSIWYG).

Also, we are looking into news enhancements that would allow this directly. See this post.
