8.3.11. Upload module

The PHP-Nuke Upload module facilitates upload functionality for PHP-Nuke and has the following features:

• Upload to virtual folders

• Download the files from these folders

• List files in these folders

• Possibly add a comment to each file

• Use the same filename several times in one folder

• Each file is owned by one registered user.

• Each directory is owned by one registered user.

• Only the adminstrator can create new folders and assign them to a registered user

• The adminstrator can change the ownership a existing file or folder

• The owner of a file can change the permissions on the file

• When uploading to a folder, the uploader (only registered users are allowed to upload files) may choose the initial permissions on the new file.

• The following permissions exist for owner and registered users: no permission, read permission, read/write permission. Also a flag is available, that allows direct download access for anonymous users (but nothing more)

• Full group membership access: Each registered user can be a member of multiple groups, and each file can belong to one group, which allows no/read/read+write access (configurable for each file)

• Multiple Language support

• Most links may also include images, to give the module a pretty layout.

• Size display for each file

• Download counter for each file

• Quota support based on group, user and folder quotas.

• Optional thumbnail support for .jpg and .gif files based on the original files (so this is only a pseudo thumbnail at the moment).

PHP-Nuke versions greater than 6.5 and the Upload module

If you are using a version of PHP-Nuke greater than 6.5, you must do a minimal, but crucial, change in the index.php file of the Upload file. Otherwise, the SQL queries will use the wrong field (uid, instead of user_id) for the user in the nuke_users table, leading to errors. Find the line if ($Version_Num == "6.5") { and change it to: if ($Version_Num >= "6.5") { This will make sure that the right field names are used for all versions greater or equal to 6.5, not only for the 6.5 version.
