easy, upload images to site Code. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Sexodus · 05-03-2004, 06:52 PM

ok basically what I am looking for is a blank web page (i.e. www.WhateverYourDomainNameIs.com/upload) in this page will just be a place to upload images. So they can post them on the forum in the same place.

it is a Forum that my family wants me to make. And they have no programming or uploading knowledge. They check E-mail and stuff.

So i need it so that they can kind of select "Upload" and find the image and upload it, find the link and past it.

I am hoping that there is some code already written for this. However what i do know is that it can be done in Perl or something similar, and then a database. However my knowledge is little HTML (basic web design) and VBNet (no database as of yet)

if there is a Script out that makes it so you can upload images to a new folder then it kind of auto makes a page with thumbnails that would be even cooler. LOL but simple is what i am looking for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i'm sure there are programming gurus here that can help you out, but just out of curiosity, why not use yahoo! photos?

it's already built, and other than the ads, not much of a pain in the ass.

Privacy, and simplicity. Maybee not for me, but simple for everyone else! LOL

soopafreek · 05-04-2004, 01:43 PM

do you need a site AND the code for ability to upload, or just the code?

i sometimes use web picture creator ( http://www.webpicturecreator.com/ )for making online galleries.

it's pretty cool to use... it's pretty simple, but i'm not too sure it's ULTRA-simple. but it's definitely worth a look and of course, FREE.

i have the site (www.ftalk.net) i just need the code so people can upload things without having to FTP. since they dont know how to do that. (or install a ftp for that matter lol) However password protecting would be cool. but we will see.

Hopefully someone knows some code i could use. or at least point me in a direction, Where codes are free or a database of them or something!

I don't know your level of proficiency with web stuff in general, but if you are running your own webserver and can get PHP up and running, then take a look at the singapore project. (singapore.sourceforge.net). Been a while since I installed it, but if I remember correctly, you can just unzip it to a public directory and it will give you automatic thumbnail generation and other nifty features.

For uploading, on the client side is pretty simple, there is an input type=file. You will have to write some server-side stuff to keep it sorted into the right directories. For this, php is your friend, you can do it in a half dozen lines of code or so if you don't mind opening your box to being r00ted by kiddies... (a couple dozen and you can be pretty safe).

Of course if you're not running your own server, then most of this is probably moot, ah well.

(edit) and if you do have your own server/php running and run into any issues or want a bit o direction on the server side stuff you need to do the uploading, lemme know. I've done it before, so I'm pretty familiar with the intricacies.

Ill check into that singapore deal. i have a host (anhost) and they do support PHP sql etc etc... so i will check that out and see if i can install it. as far as me knowing PHP im lost there. but i can usally catch on to syntax pretty good, ill have to check the bookstore to see if they have a translator or something. or just PHP itself.. thanks.
