a frontent end file [UPLOADS] MANAGER snippet/plugin ??

Maybe you could integrate "Big File Send Service" to your existing MODx site. For example sendspace has an API. It’s free to try/use, there is ads. Premium service without ads is quite affordable too.

I offered this once as an alternative to implement big file sends and made a test case based on example files on API pages. It worked very nice without any problems though the client eventually chose the simplest way (direct FTP uploads/downloads).

Thank you all !

I’m affraid I’ll have some difficulties to convince my partner who is actually the boss.

He says he already did some very big files manipulatins throught the DAM and other T3 extension so ..what can I say ?

David : Merci pour la piste Relay, peut-on en parler en mp ?

Well, it all depends of the environnement, maybe the Typo3 install was used as an intranet (or VPN or whatever) which is a very different setup than internet access (bandwith is much faster) but otherwise I wouldn’t believe it. Or else Typo3 uses a utility to split big files into rars and decompress like newsgroup do

Anyway, about Relay I have no real world experience about it, I don’t know that I would provide any valuable input here elz64...

Looks like some have made such thing in T3. I suspect this one :
http://www.airware.de/site/extensions/frontend-filemanager/?L=1
will meet the limits you all talk about here.

But, this one : http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/t3extplorer/0.0.2/view/1/1/

is a port of this : http://extplorer.sourceforge.net/

Looks like using ftp.
May be some dev guru could give me an idea of the amount of work to embed it in MODx ?

Thank again.

Since MODx Revolution’s default manager is based on extJS, the js framework used for extplorer it should be easier to port to Revolution.
I even wonder what are the differences between extplorer and Revolution’s file manager... it looks just like it...

Yet it doesn’t mention any special ability to upload large / very large files...

extplorer looks like being a great frontend tools, using an alternate FTP mode to deal with big files. Installed in 2 minutes on OVH, the only thing to do was chmod Folders to 755(!) and files to 644

I’m on my way to test the stuff, many things to deal with if I wanna overide the default limits.

I suggest the team to have a look at it, just in case it could be added as a module or plugin (you name it!) in MODx 0.96 and 2.0
