Upload module.

The PHP-Nuke Upload module facilitates upload functionality for PHP-Nuke and has the following features:

Upload to virtual folders
Download the files from these folders
List files in these folders
Possibly add a comment to each file
Use the same filename several times in one folder
Each file is owned by one registered user.
Each directory is owned by one registered user.
Only the adminstrator can create new folders and assign them to a registered user
The adminstrator can change the ownership a existing file or folder
The owner of a file can change the permissions on the file
When uploading to a folder, the uploader (only registered users are allowed to upload files) may choose the initial permissions on the new file.
The following permissions exist for owner and registered users: no permission, read permission, read/write permission. Also a flag is available, that allows direct download access for anonymous users (but nothing more)
Full group membership access: Each registered user can be a member of multiple groups, and each file can belong to one group, which allows no/read/read+write access (configurable for each file)
Multiple Language support
Most links may also include images, to give the module a pretty layout.
Size display for each file
Download counter for each file
Quota support based on group, user and folder quotas.
Optional thumbnail support for .jpg and .gif files based on the original files (so this is only a pseudo thumbnail at the moment).

PHP-Nuke versions greater than 6.5 and the Upload module

If you are using a version of PHP-Nuke greater than 6.5, you must do a minimal, but crucial, change in the index.php file of the Upload file. Otherwise, the SQL queries will use the wrong field (uid, instead of user_id) for the user in the nuke_users table, leading to errors. Find the line

if ($Version_Num == "6.5") {

and change it to:

if ($Version_Num >= "6.5") {

This will make sure that the right field names are used for all versions greater or equal to 6.5, not only for the 6.5 version.
