Thread: Image upload by site visitors

I need to create a box / field / button that allows site visitors to upload an image from their computer / handheld device, to then store the image on the site / server library for other visitors to search through and display if they wish.

How do I do this and how do I limit the image size / resolution upload, and or reject them if too large?

Way too many questions and not enough answers, but then that is my fault....

Many thanks

It is easy to upload images, using a BV form. Please watch / read the Forms tutorials. You can limit the size and also reject files bigger than the set limit.

Making these images available to site visitors automatically, requires custom coding.

How can I do the same with videos? Is it possible to let visitors upload their own videos, search for them and rate them on my web?

I am trying to install ABVFP through http://www.yourdomain.com/ABVFP/dbts_install.php
but it just goes to http://www.yourdomain.com/
and I can't find the page DB TECHNOSYSTEMS that you have a picture of in the pdf tutorial for the installation...

How can I proceed?

Replace "yourdomain.com" with your real domain name....

You can upload files of any type through the built in form processor or through ABVFP, but the rest of what you want (searching, viewing, rating) require specific scripting. You should search on the net for you Tube clone scripts

oops yes... I have processed a form but as I finish it... I click on close window but it doesn't close or create a new form...

How do I proceed now?

Thx

I have another little problem... I want to add video to my pages and I insert a Flash player... But then in the options I select allow full screen and display full menu, and it doen't do any of this... The video autostarts correctly but then I can't pause it, control volume, screen or anything... Any solution for this?
Cheers

Form: I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean. Please clarify

I try to publish swf videos with the flash player in BV but it doesnt allow any options... I guess I have to create the swf or flv file with the play, pause, etc, control embedded onto it.

Could you tell me how to intall JW Player into my site? I have been reading that that could be a solution but I can't manage to find out the right steps...

thx

I have created an html code at JW site and at least I am able to see the video but the skin that I have uploaded to my directory stormtrooper.zip doesnt appear...

Could you tell me what could be wrong... this is the code... thx

<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>

<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>

<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('spotinicio.swf','mpl','340','240','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('author','Alberto Moreno');
so.addVariable('file','http://www.alfaaudiovisual.com/spotinicio.swf');
so.addVariable('start','0');
so.addVariable('title','SPOTINICIO');
so.addVariable('frontcolor','ffffff');
so.addVariable('lig***olor','cc9900');
so.addVariable('screencolor','ffffff');
so.addVariable('skin','stormtrooper.xml');
so.addVariable('bufferlength','1');
so.addVariable('volume','0');
so.addVariable('autostart','true');
so.write('mediaspace');
</script>

sorry the page is http://www.alfaaudiovisual.com/spot_...udiovisual.php

I also set the code to 0 or any other value on the volume and just remains the same

IT's funny I have created this code on the JW page and it works on their page

script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>

<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>

<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','mpl','470','320','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('file','http://www.alfaaudiovisual.com/spotinicio.flv');
so.addVariable('start','1');
so.addVariable('autostart','true');
so.write('mediaspace');
</script>

I can see the video on their page

http://www.longtailvideo.com/support...wizard#preview


Yet when I paste the same code on the BV html field I upload it and it doens't work.... I don't see anything...

I guess I might be close to getting it but not yet....

It you know a solution please help.

Thx
Linceman
