Multimedia Upload

Hello all,

Awhile back, I post a a script that allow vb3 member to upload files like mp3, wma, etc. I have no idea that such upload is needed for our board I got a lot of request for instructions and direction on that script.

As a result, I put aside a little time from my working hour and work on this new upload script.

What this script does is:

- Allow members to select a file from their local computer.

-Upload to the board's predifined directory.

-Create a meta file that associated with the current uploaded file, and save to another directory. This meta will be used by the music bb code



The uploaded files are not managed by database.

    { 
        print_no_permission(); 
    }

//########################### settings  ############################################

$file_extension = array(".wma", ".mp3", ".rm", ".ram", ".wmv"); 
$filesizes = "31457280"; // max filesize allowed to upload (in KB)
$filesizemb = number_format($filesizes/1024,1) . "MB"; // convert to  mb

$metaurl="http://www.123.com/yourforum/musicmetadirectory/" ; 
$metadir="/var/www/html/forum/musicmetadirectory/"; 


You will have to create the BB code for your music format. If you need the bb code, I will post it up here.

Thanks

The upload worked but not always (??) We have the VBradio installed so there is a mp3 tag already. Maybe another tag will do.

Take a look of the wma tag in the pix. You can do the same thing for other bbcode.


I usually don't put anything in the description field. You can put in a short description of what that code does if you want

Hello All,

I just found out there is an issue running this script on apache server. I have attached the script for running under apache server. Just download the songloadersforvb_apache.php and rename to songloadersforvb.php.

For those who encountered the "Couldn't Upload File" on apache and want a quick fix

Open your existing file

find

PHP Code:

$d=$PATH.$musicdir; 


replace with

PHP Code:

$d=$musicdir; 


Save and close the file

Hope this help
