[blade x]

Hi

I would like to say what a cool addon to any forum software this is i have searched high and low for an uploader that gives a link to the selected uploaded file/image.

Now lets get right to it

i dont want to use the password feature as i really thinks it sux as the password could be handed out to any one (forum members pass it on to friends)

so the solution is to create a custom page using phpbb and then insert your script in to the html file (for phpbb custom page)

now the down fall is your script will not run from a html file

so the solution is to make a index1.php and place the below code in it (it will check if the user is logged in and if not force them to login to phpbb)

the below snipp needs a html file
once you get passed the phpbb's login box your pushed to the upload box

PHP Code:

<?php
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

//Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();
if ($user->data['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{
    login_box('', $user->lang['LOGIN']);
} 
page_header('Title Here');

$template->set_filenames(array(
    'body' => 'dummy_body.html',
));

ob_start();

include('upload.php');

$template->assign_var('CONTENT', ob_get_clean());

page_footer();
?>

so now we need a html file so we make a dummy_body.html file and place it in the right location using the code below

PHP Code:

<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->

{CONTENT}

<!-- INCLUDE overall_footer.html --> 


and now for your script in a .php file

it works but it pulls the forum page all to the left and looks a mess

so the question is how can this snippet below be worked in to your script without the need for a html file that in turn would stop the forums theme being used and with out breaking the uploader ?

PHP Code:

<?php
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();
if ($user->data['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{
    login_box('', $user->lang['LOGIN']);
} 

page_header('Title Here');

$template->set_filenames(array(
    'body' => 'yourpage_body.html',
));

make_jumpbox(append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx"));
page_footer();
?>
