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.

Upload songloadersforvb.php to your forum root

PHP Code:

//################### set usergroup can access this script  ############################
if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(1,2,3,4,5,6)))
    { 
        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

$completesitelocation = "http://www.123.com/yourforum/musicdirectory/"; // Full URL to upload dir
$physicallocation = "/var/www/html/yourforum/musicdirectory";
$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

Can I upload media to a different server than that hosts the board?

Sweet I just got this to work!

When I upload an mp3 I get this error:

Warning: fopen(/home/mysite/public_html/music/3.m3u): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /songloadersforvb.php on line 150

I checked that the directory indeed existed, and then tried again, and got an error that said the song already existed. I checked the upload folder and it was not renamed or converted to .m3u, yet it was obviously looking for one.

I checked and the directory is chmodded to 777.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

:squareeyed:

edit: NEVERMIND! It was a non-trailing slash on the file path

ALSO: The successful upload window was weird looking, with the forum header so I removed:

<center>$header</center>

from the multimedia_management_result template since I felt that it really did not belong there.

Thanks again.

Is it possible to limit the amount of files in which they may upload?

Also, is it possible for them to DELETE files?

Hi, how come when I upload mp3 or any wav file got an error saying:

Warning: fopen(/home/users/web/b2126/pow.timmy408/htdocs/forums/music/metadir1_7.) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/class_atmmuploader.php on line 232.

Any suggestion? Angkor
