Answered Members area with private file upload - Newest Revo

    Hello, I am about to embark on a new project. I have seen many discussions of members areas and so that part shouldn't be too bad, (there will be some pages only available in that area) but i need my users to be able to upload their files to their own 'page', and see the list of their uploaded files. I also need the system to alert the admin when a file is uploaded, but that can't be too tough.

    No collaboration is needed at this time, just each user has their own page of uploads, and that page is not available to other users.

    So, anyone got an idea about how to do this? I don't think it is very difficult in Modx at all, but just don't have a sense about how to handle the file uploading, I mean I know the tools for uploading of course...in some sense I need a 'profile' for each user, not in the sense of info like age and location, but just in the sense that the user has their home page. Maybe I am not making much sense now.

    Anyways, any thoughts are most welcome tongue

      Just try to upload the files to their own folders.
      For folder structure, can be like:
      assets/uploads/[[+modx.user.id]]/


      Then for listing, you do the same on giving any &getDir=`assets/uploads/[[+modx.user.id]]/` property.

          Just to tell that I am working on the same project too and the offered solution from goldsky is working great.

          You can use Upload to Users CMP together with Login snippet, FileUpload and FileDownload R with the additional settings. The only problem was with entering the path which have to be the root path but that's because I didn't realized it at the beginning - it's written in the Settings and in the installation.

          Here you can check my solution of the above:
