    MOdx V.: Revolution 2.07
    Server: Linux w/ apache and php 5

    Greetings all,

    I’m looking for some documentation on the dropbox packet. I’ve tried the wiki, and Jaka’s page @ http://jaka.kubje.org/projects/dropbox-uploader/. The wiki didn’t have anything about it and Jaka has some great examples but I’m not sure how to actually alter the example form. Really all I want to do is remove the destination selector and add a name filed there instead. As I’m only starting to cut my teeth on php I was wondering if there was a comprehensive resource for this. Any thoughts?

    Any direction to a resource would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. grin

      Hello all again.

      I fixed the problem I was having.

      1. the dropboxuploader package comes with two different TPLs. I just had to select the other TPL to get the format I wanted.

      2. While the dropboxuploader is compatible with MODx Revolution the examples and instructions are for an older version. I’m assuming Evo.

      So I just checked out the older syntax and changed to work with Revo. New dropboxuploader calls look like this now:

      [[!DropboxUploader? &username=`email@address` &password=`your_password`]]


      **Note**
      Replace the term "email@address" with your email address you registered at dropbox.com and the term "your_password" with your dropbox account password. I just used these as placeholders for my post. ( I know that’s obvious to most,.. I wanted to include this to make it clearer for anyone who might not know.)

      Just thought I’d pass this back to anyone else who needs to use the package. Good luck all grin grin
