How to add an Upload form in the frontpage?

[avatarz]

Hi,
This is my first post.
I need some help to add in my coppermine powered gallery http://www.msnavatarz.com/ , an upload form in the frontpage. I want that my users can easy upload images directly from the frontpage. Please give me some help..

My website is http://www.msnavatarz.com/

Not sure I fully understand your question. 

Your users should, (as long as they have the correct permissions), see a "Upload file" button at the top of every page.

I know that there is a link, but I dont want just e link. I need a form where the users can upload one photo at once.

Here is a screenshot. (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pixhostr.com%2Fimage-5C90_4D0CCADA.jpg&hash=d36de54f4c119158103dc247295ddf366aba1773)

What exactly should happen when they upload a file? If you just have the "select file" form element, you have to hard-code to which album the files should be uploaded. Is this what you want?


Moving to themes board.

After the upload the user have to be sent to the form where he/she can choose an album from a drop down menu, plus the title, description, keywords fields. This the way how coppermine works, or not? This is the simple one, where can be uploaded one file at time. See the screenshot.

No. You have to select an album before you upload.

What is if we set a choosen album by default. Everthing uploaded from this simple frontpage upload form goes in this default album.
I would like a modification like this. A lot of people could use coppermine as a free image hosting script too.

Then it's possible. Please post a link to your gallery and describe exactly where you preferably want the upload field to be displayed. A screenshot could also help.

What's the problem of using the existing upload forms?

Nothing is wrong. It's fine and ok. But an upload form just in the frontpage is much simpler for the normal user.

I will put the form just under the header. I can read the code and can work with template.html
If you give me the right code for this I think I can implement it myself.

Thank you.

Please create a screenshot and mark where exactly it should be, as I'm currently not sure what contains to the header for you and what not.

As I said I can implement it myself if I have the code for the upload form!
Whatever, here you have a screenshot.

Code Select Expand

list($timestamp, $form_token) = getFormToken();
$template_gallery_admin_menu .= <<< EOT
    <form name="cpgform" id="cpgform" method="post" action="db_input.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
    <input type="hidden" name="event" value="picture" />
    <input type="hidden" name="album" value="1" />
    <input type="hidden" name="form_token" value="{$form_token}" />
    <input type="hidden" name="timestamp" value="{$timestamp}" />
    <input type="file" name="userpicture" size="40" class="listbox" />
    <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
EOT;

I tried this using anycontent.php and then using template.html but with the same error:

Error A valid form token could not be found.

I think that anycontent.php is the right direction to go. It is ideal for a frontpage upload form.
Cheers

Works for me as expected when I add the following code to anycontent.php in my testbed:

Code Select Expand

list($timestamp, $form_token) = getFormToken();
echo <<< EOT
    <form name="cpgform" id="cpgform" method="post" action="db_input.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
        <input type="hidden" name="event" value="picture" />
        <input type="hidden" name="album" value="1" />
        <input type="hidden" name="form_token" value="{$form_token}" />
        <input type="hidden" name="timestamp" value="{$timestamp}" />
        <input type="file" name="userpicture" size="40" class="listbox" />
        <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
    </form>
EOT;
