File upload feature implemented

[santiago-ve]

Hi guys,

This weekend i've implemented the file upload feature (using an ajax file upload) which uploads the file to X place (defined in the doajaxfileupload.php file) and displays a link for the user to use later.

I would like some feedback... we're using it for a project i'm working on actually... and i'll get my team's feedback but would be nice to have even more...


i've generated a patch file, which is http://codigo.zarate.net.ve/phpfreechat/uploadfile-plugin.patch

feel free to contact me (either by forum, or using the mail function of the forums )

Have fun,

Santiago Zarate

Thanx much i will try and implement this in tthe next day or so see how it goes

[DreadPirateVane]

ok so how do u implement this to the chat,, i can not figure out how to integrate the file

Well... if you're on linux... or have a linux box with the tool "patch" you can simply apply the changes tothe sources of the chat

just download the code, unpack, change to the dir, apply the patch simply by using:

patch -p0 <uploadfile-plugin.patch

after that... you should be able to have the uploads available.

The problem comes when you have windows , which i dont use... but there's a patch program http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm which you can use to do the same...

i have tried the windows version and can't seem to get it right
not sure what i am doing with it

you don't have the src codes that you used and modified you could post here?

Hi, sorry for not answering in a really long long while... the place with the patch its up again... so: http://codigo.zarate.net.ve/phpfreechat is up and running again

I understand the server issues, so how to add this to the chat template is what Im looking Im kind of lost

[santiago-ve]

Good thing google cache still exists,

Well.. todhend, you can use the patch program to apply the changes to the source code... you do that by using the program patch (For windows)... i dont use windows, so cant exactly tell you how to... on the other hand... since i've seen many people having problems to do this (my fault by not providing a .zip file or some svc place to get the code), i've uploaded a patched (and working) version to my personal launchpad branch... you need to have bzr installed (Check here: http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/WindowsDownloads for windows and on linux just look for a bazaar or bzr package... on ubuntu "aptitude install bzr" and you're set)... branch is located here https://code.launchpad.net/~santiago-ve … ile-upload the instructions to get a working copy are there too (dont try pushig... launchpad wont let you)... ill try uploading a .zip file too... if i feel like i have to...

I'm pretty sure i wrote that few weeks ago... and that i did not delete it... so, as far as i know... someone did... any explanations?... AFAICT, phpfreechat is LGPL... not closed source

I'm the only active moderator/admin, and I didn't remove it (no reason for me to). I would have messaged you if I had removed it for some reason. We have had one or two hiccups on the server, maybe it happened right before one of those?

[todhend]

I'm still a little lost, could you give a screen shot or instructions of any kind? I really don't want to mess with a server patch just files or code, script and instructions how to add manually if thats possible ? thanks

If your looking for a file sharing/upload example, I've created one here, this is a very simple template change with a couple of files added, no source code changed at all, no confirm or error messages so far, I just started this so more work is needed take a look

[DreadPirateVane]

[todhend]
