I too would like to be able to upload and store a photo and perhaps a file did anyone find a work around for this?
i think im going the direction of having a seperate formit call on the user update profile page where they can upload a photo and perhaps a pdf too, i found the useful snippet formit2file;
this works fine but is it possible to perhaps add data about the image to the user database?
the code below creates a unique folder for the image file ;
i would like the folder to be the username so each image is in the username folder ; but the attempt below doesnot work;
$userName = $modx->getLoginUserName();
$uploadpath = ’assets/uploads/$userName’;
i would also like the user name to be the file name of the image too say +pic or something; but below doesnt work either
$filename = $userName($filename); // to lowercase
$filename = str_replace(’ ’, ’_’, $filename); // spaces to underscores
$filename = date("Y-m-d_G-i-s_") . $filename; // add date & time
<?php
// initialize output;
$output = true;
// valid extensions
$ext_array = array('pdf', 'txt', 'doc', 'docx', 'rtf', 'jpg',);
// create unique path for this form submission
$userName = $modx->getLoginUserName();
$uploadpath = 'assets/uploads/$userName';
// you can create some logic to automatically
// generate some type of folder structure here.
// the path that you specify will automatically
// be created by the script if it doesn't already
// exist.
// EXAMPLE:
// this would put all file uploads into a new,
// unique folder every day.
// $uploadpath = 'assets/'uploads/'.date('Y-m-d').'/';
// get full path to unique folder
$target_path = $modx->config['base_path'] . $uploadpath;
// get uploaded file names:
$submittedfiles = array_keys($_FILES);
// loop through files
foreach ($submittedfiles as $sf) {
// Get Filename and make sure its good.
$filename = basename( $_FILES[$sf]['name'] );
// Get file's extension
$ext = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$ext = mb_strtolower($ext); // case insensitive
// is the file name empty (no file uploaded)
if($filename != '') {
// is this the right type of file?
if(in_array($ext, $ext_array)) {
// clean up file name and make unique
$filename = $userName($filename); // to lowercase
$filename = str_replace(' ', '_', $filename); // spaces to underscores
$filename = date("Y-m-d_G-i-s_") . $filename; // add date & time
// full path to new file
$myTarget = $target_path . $filename;
// create directory to move file into if it doesn't exist
mkdir($target_path, 0755, true);
// is the file moved to the proper folder successfully?
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$sf]['tmp_name'], $myTarget)) {
// set a new placeholder with the new full path (if you need it in subsequent hooks)
$modx->setPlaceholder('fi.'.$sf.'_new', $myTarget);
// set the permissions on the file
if (!chmod($myTarget, 0644)) { /*some debug function*/ }
} else {
// File not uploaded
$errorMsg = 'There was a problem uploading the file.';
$hook->addError($sf, $errorMsg);
$output = false; // generate submission error
}
} else {
// File type not allowed
$errorMsg = 'Type of file not allowed.';
$hook->addError($sf, $errorMsg);
$output = false; // generate submission error
}
// if no file, don't error, but return blank
} else {
$hook->setValue($sf, '');
}
