Upload Options

Hi,

I want to expand the capabilities of the upload module that comes with phpnuke so that people can use the existing text fields, as well as use an input form to upload other types of files (such as images or flash files).

The first thing I tried was creating a basic upload program using an HTML form converted to php using nuke tools:

Code:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

where the action "uploader.php" looks like:

Code:

<?

$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

?>

I figure that using this method is as simple as putting the input form somewhere at the end of the submit_news table. However, uploader.php is very restricted in what it does. It does not distinguish between acceptable file extensions, sizes, and is probably not safe in many other ways to use.

I was wondering. I have an additional module installed (EasyUp) that does exactly what I am trying to program. Is there a way to have one menu item load both Submit_News and EasyUp on top of eachother in separate tables? Or is there any other way to integrate these two modules? If not, I will have to research php and build a better/safer upload function myself.

Thanks,
Ashkon

Sounds to me like custom development is needed.
