Thanks for the heads up. I don’t actually have the code in production.
The original files with updated include
http://files.getdropbox.com/u/949793/DropboxUploader.zip
External links from my drop box, I could not figure out how to add a new attachment to the forum.
DropboxUploader -- Upload files to a Dropbox account.
DIG -- Dynamic Image Generator

makeQR -- Uses google chart api to make QR codes.
MODxTweeter -- Update your twitter status on publish.
Is anyone else getting "mkdir() [function.mkdir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect." error after you try to submit a file??
Cool can’t wait to try this!!
Dropbox changed domain from www.getdropbox.com to www.dropbox.com, script updated.
I also attached the file here as well. In case I ever lose my dropbox account.
Here are some brief instructions on use.
- Uncompress the contents of DropboxUploader.zip into your snippets directory.
- Copy the contents of DropboxUploader.snippet.php into a new snippet called DropboxUploader.
- Create a chunk for the upload form.
<!-- chunk: dbu_upload -->
<form method="POST" name="DBU" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" value="true" name="submitted" />
<dl>
<dt>File</dt><dd><input type="file" name="file" /></dd>
<dd><input type="submit" value="Upload file." /></dd>
</dl>
</form>
Call the snippet uncached in your document.

Sounds like your server is running with SAFE MODE on.
You can check by going to Reports > System Info > phpInfo() > View
I would also check the permissions on the files.

If you’re getting this error:
DropboxUploader requires the cURL extension
Make sure that the cURL extension is installed by running this command (I’m running Ubuntu with PHP 5 on Apache):
sudo apt-get install curl php5-curl
This sounds like it could be very useful... Could I just clarify? Is the purpose of this to allow users of the web site to upload files to Dropbox via the web site, or to allow them to access files on Dropbox via the web site rather than logging into Dropbox? Our band web site has a file of absences which I end up having to update and reupload to the Modx each week with changes, and it would be much easier just to use Dropbox instead
Your first guess is correct. It is for uploading from your MODx site to your Dropbox account.
You could use Dropbox the other way around though, you could write a snippet that reads the file from you Dropbox’s public folder.
[[getExternalFile]]
<?php
// getExternalFile
$anyfile = file_get_contents('http://dl.dropbox.com/u/949793/states.txt');
return $anyfile;
?>
