LG SAEF File Upload.... Throwing my hat into the ring

Hi Leevi,

Did drop you a PM this morning. Not sure if you received it or not though?

Would love to get a look at trying this one out if possible.

Best wishes,

Mark

Hey Mark,

I sent you an email with the extension about an hour ago… I’ll resend 😊

Cheers

Hiya,

Thanks will go and check now.

Best wishes,

Mark

Haven’t got anything so far either, did you get my PM?

Here is the first cut of LG SAEF Uploader.

To use all you need to do is add a couple of params to your opening form tag.

lg_saef_file_upload=”y” … Tells the extension to change the form encryption type lg_saef_file_upload_dir_id=” … The upload directory id set in the upload prefs

The set your input name to the id value of the field.

{exp:weblog:entry_form
    weblog = "gallery"
    lg_saef_file_upload = "y"
    lg_saef_file_upload_dir_id = "1"
}
  <input type="file" name="field_id_7" value="" />
  <input type='submit' value='submit' />
{/exp:weblog:entry_form}

The extension is MSM aware, although there is nothing that requires this functionality yet.

There is no support for preview yet… and I’m not sure how to go about SAEF editing. I’ll have to look into it. Any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers Leevi

Looks great! But having the ability to add it to the edit form would make it usable. At least the ability to delete files like in the file extension.

Yeah those features are planned for the future…

Hi Leevi,

Love the extension. If I log out and try to log back in I am getting:

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_param() on a non-object in ~\system\extensions\ext.lg_saef_file_upload.php on line 375

Please disreagrd this comment. It is no longer valid

So your trying to log into the admin?

Quick fix…

Try adding:

if ( ! defined('TMPL')) return $data;

around line 373 in the extension file.

The new function should look like:

<pre><code> /** * Modify the $data parameters before they are processed by the user side form creator * * @param array $data The form data * @return array The form data * @since Version 1.0.0 * @see http://expressionengine.com/developers/extension_hooks/form_declaration_modify_data/ */ function form_declaration_modify_data($data) { global $EXT, $TMPL;

    // -- Check if we're not the only one using this hook
    if($EXT->last_call !== FALSE) $data = $EXT->last_call;

    if ( ! defined('TMPL')) return $data;

    if($TMPL->fetch_param('lg_saef_file_upload') == 'y')
    {
        $data['enctype']='multi';
        $data['hidden_fields']['lg_saef_file_upload'] = 'y';
        $data['hidden_fields']['lg_saef_file_upload_dir_id'] = $TMPL->fetch_param('lg_saef_file_upload_dir_id');
    }
    //$this->_debug($data, FALSE);
    return $data;
}[/code]

logging in on the front end…but that did it. Thanks!

Just double check your code… I made a quick change..

if ( ! defined('TMPL')) return $data;

should be after the check to see if we are not the only one using this hook

So I installed the entension, and it was great, worked, until…I had the same issue above, so I modified the file as directed and that was cool, until…I logged out.

Then when I went to log back in to the CP all I had was a blank screen. Cleared everything and still blank. Went to another machine and got the login page. Logged in and, guess what? Blank screen again.

So I logged in to phpmyadmin and deleted the extension there and all is cool, but no upload :(.

Any ideas? It is a great idea, but not good if it crashes everything.

hmm, didn’t experience that ^

but now it won’t add the upload file directory tag “https://ellislab.com/asset/images/ent-partner-logo/” unless I comment out the added line from above….

Initially the original file didn’t work. All off the links to member profiles returned errors. When I added the change that was fixed.

But I still get a blank page with either file, the original, or the edited one, after logging out. If the extension is disabled I have no issues. But that’s no good either!
