Upload folder : one per user ?

[simon6023]

Hi,

First of all, thanx for this great plugin ! I’m just discovering it and it’s a real pleasure !

I need something like this for one of my client : on his site, customers send photos on a specific folder, one per user, and then the administrator can work with these photos (printing photo-albums).

After trying Jsmallfib, I ran into a problem of memory size, and finaly I have to forget using it.

The thing is, Jsmallfib was able to create a folder for each user, so the photos they send don’t mix with other customers pics.

Do you think your plugin can do that ?

For now, I didn’t find out how to do this…

It would be great if it could ! Maybe for a next release ?

Thanx in advance for answering my questions,

best regards,

Simon

@simon6023. Thanks for your questions. Actually, this question has been asked before. One member gave some very good guidelines on how to accomplish this. Check it out: http://support.michaelgilkes.com/topic/per-user-1

Hi Michael, I found out how to do this, thanks to the topic you indicated.

Here is the hack !

On line 307 of the easyflashuploader.php, replace

$destination = isset($local_params['destination']) ? $local_params['destination'] : $default_params['destination'];

1	$destination = isset($local_params['destination']) ? $local_params['destination'] : $default_params['destination'];

by

$user = &amp; JFactory::getUser();<br /> $destination = &quot;users/$user-&gt;username&quot;;

1 2	$user = &amp; JFactory::getUser();<br /> $destination = &quot;users/$user-&gt;username&quot;;

It works perfectly !

Automatically creates the user folder, by username (or whatever else you want, id, etc), and updates it when the folder already exists.

Thanks for helping !

Simon
