strodeath Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Ok, what I'm looking for is basically a file sharing thingy. Where people can upload files onto the site and others have download the files. How can I get that? Quote
Wilexa Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 There are a bunch of scripts around that you can download. A simple file-manager-like interface version can be downloaded at ***http://sourceforge.net/projects/onedotoh/ Here's a demo: ***http://onedotoh.sourceforge.net/demo/fm.php If you know your way around PHP a bit, it is easy to configure. There are also a bunch at hotscripts.com. good luck, dave Quote
strodeath Posted October 4, 2003 Author Posted October 4, 2003 Er, if I download it, how do I get it onto my site? :-\ Quote
strodeath Posted October 4, 2003 Author Posted October 4, 2003 Yes that would be how to get them onto the internet, but doesn't explain how to get them onto the website.. Must I remind you I'm a noob? Quote
Wilexa Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 strodeath, Did you try the demo link I posted? Is that the kind of upload/download interface you are looking for? I am getting a little confused. 1. Are you looking for a way for people to upload files, pictures for instance, and have them available for the masses to download? 2. Or are you looking for a way for people to post web pages on your site? 3. Or none of the above? It might help to know the type of files you want be shared (pix, documents, songs (but be careful on that one )). Is your site plain-jane static html (plus a forum, I guess) or dynamic MySQL driven? The more specific you can be, the more help you will get. ...dave Quote
Guest schussat Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 A simple file-manager-like interface version can be downloaded at ***http://sourceforge.net/projects/onedotoh/ That's a pretty nice-looking package, Wilexa. Have you personally used it? I'm curious if it can be configured to simply allow browsing, rather than presenting the upload/delete/rename set of options. It might make a nice interface for posting working papers and other miscellaneous stuff. If you don't have personal experience with it, no sweat. I'm just curious. Maybe I'll download it and poke through it this weekend. -Alan Quote
Wilexa Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 schussat, Yes, I do have personal experience with the Simple File Manager package. It works well, but had too many features for me. So I stripped it down to limit it to a single directory, etc. Also, I had to increase the allowable file size. Not too difficult. I was going to do some more, but I got distracted. It my be possible to restrict it to just upload, but I haven't really tried. Here's my version (ugly as it is): ***http://www.wilexa.com/drop/fm.php ...dave Quote
strodeath Posted October 4, 2003 Author Posted October 4, 2003 Did you try the demo link I posted?No. I don't know where to look, everywhere I click it just re-directs me to a brand new site, never letting me download. 1. Are you looking for a way for people to upload files, pictures for instance, and have them available for the masses to download? Yes, and the type of files to be uploading a .rep files. ( Replay files for a game, Starcraft ) Is your site plain-jane static html (plus a forum, I guess) or dynamic MySQL driven? Uh.. I just use TCH to host, and CSB to make.. Quote
Wilexa Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 Thanks for the info. Source forge pages can be a bit cluttered! Here is the "real" download link: **http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=60333&release_id=153764 Click on the sfm-v24.zip link, pick a mirror site close to you, then click on the little download icon. Unpack the files on your PC, read the README in the docs folder, edit the source to fit your domain, then upload to TCH. I know it is a lot of steps, but they should each be pretty fast. good luck and let me know if you get stuck. ...dave Quote
strodeath Posted October 4, 2003 Author Posted October 4, 2003 ... What? This readme file is to confusing. I have no clue what to do. :-\ Grrrr, I'm tired of everytime I try to do stuff, people explain it to me in expert terms.. THEY NEED TO MAKE A NOOB GUIDE!!! -.- Ugh.. Quote
Wilexa Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 strodeath... Sorry for your frustration. Sent me a PM (hit the PM bottom of this post) and I will help you out in "noob" terms. It's just too tough in forum-land! ...dave Quote
