Simple File Upload

This is a very simple upload module for Joomla. #### NEW VERSION RELEASED: 0.9.3 #### # # What’s new: # – A few “bug” fixes # – Change of background color on pop-up # – Allow fo any position in your Joomla site # # Available under Projects section on http://wasen.net/ #### I was surprised when I tried to find something to use to upload files onto the server and couldn’t find any “simple” thing for it… I just wanted to be able to place a file on the server in a predetermined directory, in my case for a user to be able to change their banners, but couldn’t find any existing extension for it. Yes, there are superb and efficient “uploaders” but nothing suited my needs, so, well, I figured I’ll write my own… It turned out to do it’s job fairly well, so now it’s time to share… Just grab the zip package and use Install in Joomla Administration to install. Then move over to the modules and chose “Simple File Upload”. Set the standard Joomla parameters, access, where to show it, etc. Don’t forget to enable it! Once that is done, there are a few settings for the module itself: “Upload location”, this is where any uploaded file ends up. Simplest to use relative paths, e.g. if you want your uploads to go into “http://your.joomla.com/images”, put “./images” as location. “Background color”, set the background color of the information pop-up to match your site. “Max upload size”, well, the maximum size allowed to upload in bytes. “If file exist”, three options if this happens, copy the old one with a new name (Backup); overwrite the old one (Replace); Don’t allow to move or overwrite old one (Fail). “Allowed file types”, what should be possible to upload. Default is only images, but add/remove as you wish. Be careful though as you shouldn’t allow to upload any executable! Only in 0.9.2b and 0.9.3: – “Allowed users by username”, you can add usernames of user(s) that are allowed to upload. The users must be in correct capitalization, e.g. “Admin” is not teh same as “admin”! – To allow upload of ANY filetype, simply add a * (astrisk) in the “Allowed file types” setting.
