VirtueUpload 1.0.0 - upload component for VM

[eaxs]

Lots of things changed....
started as a small hack, it is now an independant component, which works hand in hand with VirtueMart!
VirtueUpload will give you and your customers the possiblity to upload certain files, corresponding to an order.
From the joomla-backend, you can manage, download and view the files very easily.

VirtueUpload 1.0.0 ( Release date: 01.03.2006 )

Sorry that it took a bit longer than expected...
So here´s the 1.0.0 Stable Release.

Some Features:

• Language support: english, german, greek
• Uploads are logged into a database table
• Choose who can upload (Everyone, or a specific shopper group)
• Restrict file-extensions
• Set filesize-limit
• Spam-protection: Bans a user after X uploads
• Auto-rename: uploads can be automatically renamed
• Users can leave a comment on the uploaded file
• Show current upload-status to the user
• Inform admin when a new file is uploaded
• Upload allowed in Flypage, Account-maintenance and as pop-up.
• Tiny template-system so you can easily modify the layout.

Installation and usage:

Install it just like every other component. Then make sure the config file is writable.
File-location: administrator/components/com_virtueupload/admin.virtueupload.cfg.php

Create a new component-link in your prefered joomla menu and/or use the little hack as described in the VirtueUpload Config. That's it!

Feel free to report any error or trouble with VirtueUpload.

Woderfull! Nice! Excellent! Thank You!

Works perfekt... unfortunately i am not able to program an extention. But the extention would very helpful.
While uploading the customer might think there is nothing happening anymore. can anybody programm a layer that pops up while a file is downloading with the message Upload in progress please wait ( and blinking dots.gif). Would be great!

And a second nice modification would be one which makes it possible to the customer to upload a secend filde as well.

last but not least, after the upload progress we need a admin notification so that the admin gets to know that there is a file uploaded for an specific order number...

in the future it would be nice if a fileupload was done, an automatically generated link would be addes to the orderlist in the backend.

and now i lean back and enjay my new features... sponsored by   eaxs

Thanks for your feedback!
I will add your proposals tomorrow. Stay tuned

*applauds* Great work! I'll certainly be tracking this modification! Would it be possible to actually consider making a full addon/module for VM that can be plugged-in as mentioned by ronwaste?  Then the admin has the option of allowing the user to upload/not upload files through the admin backend.

I think the upload size and file type is limited by the settings in Joomla or is there a restriction setting somewhere?

Thanks!

[ronwaste]

in my oppinion ... the php.ini from webserver have a file size restriction... sorry i am german...

[eaxs]

Yes there is an upload limit defined in php: ~8mb.

I´ll improve the hack a bit and post the changes here when its done 

[ronwaste]

but fast

I think this is what I need, but I am unsure how to implement it.  Where exactly is line 570?  In my cpanel editor, the lines are unnumbered, and copying the source code into dreamweaver shows inserting at 570 puts the hack inside function delete_record( $record_id, &$d ).  Is this correct?  I am just learning php, so I know my 'noobness' is probably annoying.  Any help I would greatly appreciate.  I want to be able to allow users to not only upload pictures to customize their purchase, but also text.  Thanks to all.  The site I am working on is www.declarationsinstone.com

$tmp_cell .= "<br /><strong>".$VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_ORDER_PRINT_PO_NUMBER.":</strong> " . sprintf("%08d", $db->f("order_id"));
$listObj->addCell( $tmp_cell );-------------------HERE IS LINE 570--------------------------------
