Work on the Portal

    The work on the new Portal has been almost finished



    the administration area only needs access to the news system (will take a 10mins)
    and the forum need some new boards for the new games (but ill do that tomorrow)
    -> today i dont want to be disturbed with such stuff




    one final problem
    how to upload files by users?
    so far ive no solution for that prob
    the moderators/admins are able to upload stuff to the download database
    but users have no way to submit files so far


    good would be to have a php script with mysql support that can upload files to a directory on the server and moderators could check these downloads before they are published
    it also should be able to enter a description to that download
    and of course to moderate it from an admin area
    im not sure if the php has a upload limitation (but since it is no normal webspace but server i heavily doubt it)

    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    just couple of things Op,


    does it need to intergrate into the board's database?
    will the users upload directly to the site or does an admin/mod check it to get on the site.


    You could do it like LR, email?

    how to upload files by users?


    if you use a pre-created CMS, try searching for a plugin. Or try www.hotscripts.com. Or use a different CMS (I'd suggest Joomla! (www.joomla.org) - freeware, lots of options, easy customisation, lots of free plugins, templates etc.)...

    how about this:


    user clicks "download" that leads him to form to write a PM to you, OP. And the user types the description, name etc. and adds the file as an attachment. So you get the PM and put the file for downloading...


    ooh man i'd really suggest you to use one///

    PHP get more and more powerful, so there are funtions that can get the filesizes... in connection with an mysql database or a file log it should be possible to limit the upload or download... (phpBB has now something similar within their new version :) BTW it should be possible to write a easy script for your requirements...

    The portal still needs a functional link to the CF serverstats; this is a most useful tool!

    1. which email would support attachments of 500mb?
    -> no real solution


    2. no i wont contact anyone for moderator jobs
    those that are willing to do them will do them out of their own


    3. why should i want to limit something


    4. what has CF to do with the Portal?

    Huh? 500 MB via mail - who mentioned mail? What i had in mind as i wrote about php, is to make a upload page, where a user can select a file to upload (this should be limited, due to your storage capacity is also limited). Nothing more and nothing less. If you use it in connection with a database, you can determine which user has what uploaded and whats was the amount he already up - or downloaded. And if he has the right to upload. bla bla bla, nearly all that you can admit for users in your portal...

    dunno, maybe to avoid massive downloads that causes too much traffic without any use... ^^ to avoid criminal misuse
