XUpload - Upload to multiple locations

[rkiss]

Hi,

Is it possible to set the upload destination folder as a variable during the upload...

I have a real estate website and my "uploads" folder structure has the following subfolders: "images", "vr_tours", "documents"

How can I tell the script to upload new images to "images" folder, new vr tours to "vr_tours" folder, etc?

Thank you,

Regards,

Roman

You can do this in Pro version.
I've given quick hack for Free version somewhere on this forum, try to find it.

Hey, i'm using the free version and would also like to specify the folder location via GET or POST, i even found how to read GET and POST using PERL. What i tried to do is find the GET data before including the XUploadConfig.pm file which used $name for the target directory. the path was stored into $name, but I guess the upload doesn't work this way.

I'm new to PERL and only needed an upload script with no limitations and a progress bar. XUpload seemed like the best choice, and so far is, but i need to specify user specific upload directories for a per user basis.

I've scoured these forums to find no such hack given for free, but maybe if i post the "modifications" i made, you can tell me if i'm right/wrong?

All i really need to know is how to read POST data in the upload.cgi.

Also, if i want to upload two files in one form, but the free version only allows one, can i still upload the second file via PHP (after sending all POST/GET data to PHP script after PERL upload?)



Thanks for your time!

Ok. Here goes quick hack for specific upload folder:
you need to create input field with name 'ext_folder' in your upload form containing sub-folder name where you want upload to.
e.g. <input type="hidden" name="ext_folder" value="users">

then in your upload.cgi find line: "my @params = $cg->param;" and add this code below:

Code: Select all

my $ext_folder = $cg->param('ext_folder');
$ext_folder='' if $ext_folder=~/\.\./;
$c->{target_dir}.= "/$ext_folder" if $ext_folder;

About 2 files upload: no, it's not possible to upload 2nd file with PHP

Thankyou very much!, i was trying to do soemthign similar but had no idea how to grab POST data in PERL

Is there a way to specify if the uploading file should redirect to a new page? Say i want to create a way to upload multiple files myself by using Javascript, can i add a GET command to the script to tell it to redirect to a new page if the new var is equal to 1?

Thank you soo much!

As far as I understand you, it is not possible. Upload is possible only with POST, no way to initiate upload after GET or redirect.

Thanks anyway, i found a very dirty workaround, though I needed to modify your script quite a bit
