Hi,

do you have a zip-file for us?

thanks

I installed it and everything seemed to work great, but I cannot enable it on more than 1 forum at a time. As soon as I turn it on in a different forum the previous one will automatically reset.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Marc

Never mind, I checked the 6.3 thread on this one and found the necessary modifications...works great now...

Marc

can you point me to the modifications you found? I'll update the file

Hey Allen, thanks for the port.

I think Marc is talking about the code in cp_forums.cgi:

[code][/code]...where 17 should be 19 to get the radio buttons to stick.

I just tried this though, in both spots in cp_forums.cgi and the problem is still persisting. There must be some other instances of it in the code.

Yes, that's the code I used, after I changed the 2 instances as mentioned in the 6.3 post it still didn't work so I did a search for just "0 .. 17"...there are 4 total, changed those to 19 also and it worked. I think LK mentioned that too in the other thread.

Hope that helps,

Marc

thanks, I had grabbed the files from a later date and thought that was already done, I'll update the file shortly

I still had problems with the radio buttons even after fixing the "17" in those four places. Maybe it's just me though. Allen, possibly you could see if it works for you.

Hi,

were can I find the multihack-programm, or have anybody a zip-file for me???

thanks

Allen, I know I am missing something here.

I have searched high and low in all instances of the ELY_M upload hacks throughout the ages and I can't seem to find a method of activating this on a new topic, or post reply form.

The MHP installed without a hitch and I was able to configure the Modifications Settings, as well as each Forum by preference. I should mention LK's CPAddon, WordletsMod, SpellCheck and QuickReply were previously installed and might I say, work flawlessly!...(UBB.Classic 6.4.0.1)

Is there any additional work that needs to be done to get this to work correctly?

errrr ahhhh....never mind, I found the problem. (ME!)

During the MHP analyze, I got an error so I investigated. The vars_wordlets_mod entry was looking for the ); and 1; to be separated by a single CR.

I modified the MHP to only look for the 1; and add above. Duhhhh, I went back and moved the ); to the proper location and have been blasting away at uploads ever since.

A question on how the file name is made... instead of using a random file name, or one with the member's name in it, or their member number, is there a way to let the user input a file name?

This is a big problem for me because my users use this upload feature to post numerous files of the same type (recorded games for the game, Age of Mythology, which are dropped into a special folder when downloaded) and a lot of people are complaining that the files are just overwriting each other because they're all named for the user or their number.

Thanks in advance for any help... this would be a boon to my forums if someone could figure it out.

Yes, what Xiphoid said...

My pervious install of this mod is on 6.1.0.3, and the file is uploaded with the original name. I need to be able to keep descriptive names to be able to sort through the upload folder.

Any suggestions?

Search for my reply in a previous version. I detailed how to maintain the current filename. I don't remember and I'd have to search too otherwise I'd tell ya

I'm still looking for a way to restrict uploads to specific users, so if anyone has any idea how to do that please let me know An admin-set checkbox in member profiles would rock, that way I could restrict this to subscribing members only.

Found it here:
http://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=000630;p=4#000053

I just applied this on my 6.4 version, and it did work to save the original fime name. But the overwrite protection didn't work. I was able to re-upload the same file, with no warning, and the file did not get CHMOD'd to 0444. Maybe I just need to check my upload settings...

There may be a conflict with the new settings in the CP: One difference between the instructions and the newer version of ELYs_Upload:
$vars_misc{SAVE_DIRECTORY}
is now:
$vars_modifications{elym_upload_SAVE_DIRECTORY}

seems to work well thanks, descriptive names hack next please

Works on 6.5

Hmm, I have v6.5 but can't seem to activate the upload feature. It says "File Uploading is not allowed in this forum" but can't seem to find how to activate it anywhere. I do have the "Modification Settings" hack installed, but still don't anything in there that will activate the file upload. HELP!

Nevermind. I'm such a dork, it's in Forum Settings.

<Smacking head against wall>

Duuuhhhhh... Nevermind. Great hack

Ok... something weird here... Have 5 different forums authorized to upload. The bullet in the Forum Description resets to nothing being checked in the forum just like it was when it was first installed when it feels like it.

You can upload a file and then it resets and it shows that uploading is not allowed in this forum. You can go back and reset it to "Yes" and it sets itself back to nothing again.

Is this an issue with 6.5 or something I have set wrong?


Thanks

Figured it out... thanks anyway...

I installed the hack but nothing differnt is showing up in my forums to allow upload i even activated it through the CP

Peter

Hi,

everytime I create a new forum in control pannel, the forums with upload-right are reseted...so upload is not aloud...what can I do..?

Not sure, I'll have a look when I get back from my break™

how do you keep guest from uploading???
I have modified one of the files so the file names of the upload are the name of the member plus a random number so the file never gets rewritten and you can see who uploaded it.
but when guest upload it names it that random number twice

Could we get this for 6.7, please?
Multihack didn't care for it much.
Thanks!

k, I can't promise any time frame (as I don't have computer access at this time ), but I'll look at it if Weird Al doesn't first

class begins tuesday, so take your time

No mod for 6.7 yet?

it would be nice yeah

If Allen hasn't given this a shot yet, I could start looking at it, but I can't promise anything as school has me swamped

I haven't had time to look at it yet

does anyone have the zip version? I've got a cold and don't want to download multihack

http://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/elym_upload.zip

Any progress? No stress, just wondering, looking forward to this mod..

Absolutely none

Brutal Honesty, I love it!

I've looked in all old versions I can find... does anyone know the point of this wordlet, and maybe what it should be?

Interesting

I've made some progress, and had to make some changes.

The file structure for uploaded files will be similar to that of flareupload.

(Designated Dir Path As You Set)/(Member Number, or 'unregistered')/(actual file name, as it appeared on your hard drive)

ie...

afa.png

If the folder doesn't exist, it will make it itself, not prompt you to tell your administrator to make the folder via ftp.

Still have a while to go, wordletizing, cleaning some code, cp, xhtml

Maybe a fourth option - letting the uploading user specify the subdirectory?

Would be nice, perhaps for use with Bobbitts great album

http://perl.bobbitt.ca/album/

I haven´t checked out ely_m:s upload, is the attached files displayed with the post?

His album has it's own uploader, so that would be redundant.

It does not attach it to your post, it gives you a link which you can put into your post

Do you have a link to a board using the 6.4-version of this script?

One more question: Can you see all uploaded pics/files on the user profile of each user?

I don't, but if you look around this topic, someone might have it

only the admins who have ftp access can. All the files are stored in folders corresponding to their member number.

Thanks for doing all of this for us! I really appreciate all of your hard work.

Yes, it´s great!

No progress with this yet?

If not - isn´t it possible to BUY flare upload with a license? I need a good UBB-integrated uploader.

Any other alternatives?

Licenses for the technology behind FlareUpload 2 are not available, unfortunately.

btt

btt?

Back to top, Looking for updates. I have seen this MOD in use on 6.7.1, but cannot find it available for D/L.

it's not available for download.

Brett has it listed as "Nearly Finished, Ready(Beta Hacks)"

Sweet, thanks!

Is there a version that works on 6.6.0?

But his will be for 6.7.1 Im using 6.6.0 thats why I was asking if there was already one for 6.6.0.

the 6.7 one should work for 6.6

Its so good to be back on ubb.

I look forward to seeing the 6.7.1 being released soon.

Is this mod working on UBB 6.7.1 ?

<hr /></blockquote>

Any updates from the May 1st. status?

It was released a while ago as UBB.Upload by Brett

yeh, my whining and title sugguestions... The 6.7.x build is a complete rewrite from the ground up; hence the name change.

Ian,

Felix
