I don't recall seeing this done exactly this way before. If it has been, I apologize to the author.

Anyway, what this will allow a user to do is upload a file to your webserver that they can insert into their post. It's modelled after the old UBB image upload hack.

Please keep in mind that this was a quick and dirty hack job, and I wasn't making it with the intentions of releasing it.

You can specify the maximum file size that you'd like to use - that's about it as far as security goes.

Here's the file:

Hope someone will find this useful :).

Excellent I always wanted a hack like this one instead of the image gallery that limits the user to one upload!

thanks for the hack.

nice one..:)
but can we configure to accept other files format too?
and it will show only file links if it is not image file

No, but this feature will be part of vBulletin 2.0. It can upload anything - it's the displaying the link that isn't part of this hack. Feel free to manipulate the code any way that you want, however.

I'm using .php3, shall I rename the files only?

Thanks :)

Yes, just rename the files, and be sure to change the form action in the upload template as well.

I setup the stuff as instructed, now when I open that new window upload.php3 - I get this error:

What did I do wrong ?


The upload.php3 ONLY has 4 lines.. haha

Fred, did you add the upload_file function to global.php as specified in the install.txt file?

-jim

Yes
