Uploads Module: Category selector

[Gorm]

Ok So I got the uploads module installed - is it possible when displaying the file upload form to let the end user decide what category to upload to instead of passing the category in the smarty tag?

Thanks Gorm

Well, there's no code in there for this atm.  but westis has a user defined tag that he uses for something similar, I'll bet he'd be willing to paste it here if you can get ahold of him.

Hi Gorm,

I've reworked the user-defined tag a bit, but this is how I think it looked originally (thanks tsw and Calguy). I use it to display a list of upload items (Flash videos) in the selected category. Hope it can be of some help, although you need to rework it a bit for your needs.

Code: Select all

$html="";


$categories = array(
1 => array(
   'catid' => 1,
   'categoryname' => "Name of category 1"
),
2 => array(
   'catid' => 2,
   'categoryname' => "Name of category 2"
),
3 => array(
   'catid' => 3,
   'categoryname' => "Name of category 3"
),
4 => array(
   'catid' => 4,
   'categoryname' => "Name of category 4"
)
);



//post handler
$catid = '';
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
if (preg_match("/[0-9]*/" , $_POST['category_id']))
  $catid = $_POST['category_id'];
  $category=$categories[$catid]['categoryname'];
}

//form
$html .= '<form method="post">'."\n";
$html .= '<select name="category_id">'."\n";
foreach($categories as $one) {
$html .= '<option value="'. $one['catid'] .'" ';
if ($catid == $one['catid'])
$html .= 'selected';
$html .= '>'. $one['categoryname'] .'</option>'."\n";
};
$html .= '</select>'."\n";
$html .= '<input type="submit" value="Select a category" />'."\n";
$html .= '</form>'."\n";
//end form

if($catid) {
echo $html;
//Uploads module tag
global $gCms;
$mid = 'm' . ++$gCms->variables["modulenum"];
$returnid = '';
if (isset($gCms->variables['pageinfo']))
{
  $returnid = $gCms->variables['pageinfo']->content_id;
}
print_r( $parms );
$uploads = $gCms->modules['Uploads']['object'];
$parms = array();
$parms['category'] = $category;
$parms['mode'] = summary;
$parms['sortorder'] = date_desc;
$parms['summary_filetemplate'] = 'videos.tpl';
$parms['detail_filetemplate'] = 'showvideo.tpl';
$html .= $uploads->DoAction( 'default', $mid, $parms, $returnid ); 
//end Uploads module tag
} else {
//help
$html .= '<h4>Select a category</h4>';
echo $html;
}

I then just stick {ucat} in my page or template.  It's a bit of a hack (I cut and pasted the generated form code from uploads) at the moment it redirects only to one page - I am gonna try and figure out how to pull the categorys/upload form in dynamically. Any advice greatfully recived.

I have a different approach, with a simular result.
The following adjustments allows you to add a Category selector to your Uploads form.

Find the following lines in "function.default_uploadmode.php" (~ line 98):

Code: Select all

$hidden = 
	$this->CreateInputHidden ($id, 'MAX_FILE_SIZE', $this->GetPreference('max_uploadsize','1000000')).
	$this->CreateInputHidden( $id, 'category', $params['category']);

And replace it with:

Code: Select all

// get listable categories
$query = "SELECT upload_category_name AS category FROM ".cms_db_prefix ()."module_uploads_categories WHERE upload_category_listable = 1";
$dbresult = $db->Execute($query);

$categories = array();
while ($row = $dbresult->FetchRow()) {
	$category = $row['category'];
	$categories[$category] = $category;
}

$smarty->assign('cat_select', $this->CreateInputDropdown($id, 'category', $categories, $selectedindex=0, $selectedvalue=$params['category']));

$hidden = $this->CreateInputHidden($id, 'MAX_FILE_SIZE', $this->GetPreference('max_uploadsize','1000000'));

Use {$cat_select} in your Upload Form Template to display the Category selector.

Hi sn3p :-

I would really like to implement your solution, but the uploads module has since been updated and I am not sure which part of the file to change. Any ideas ? Any help much appreciated.

BTW - I am using Uploads 1.11.3 and CMS Made Simple 1.8.1 "Mankara"

Did you ever get your answer to this?
