[Plugin: Upload Widget] Can’t view widget

Disregard.. it was a “role” issue. I was logged in Firefox as the site admin and that is why it was showing there and not in the other browsers. When I logged out it wasn’t showing in FF either. I had to play with the code a little to get it to show up for “visitors”. Thanks for a simple but very useful plugin!

Ok, Thanks for your feedback.

Folder ? BLOGUPLOADDIR/ ? doesn’t exist !

“BLOGUPLOADDIR” is only set for WPMU in file “wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php”.
Of course Upload Widget works with WordPress and WordPress Mu.
What version of WordPress are you using ?

Sorry, “BLOGUPLOADDIR” is set in “wp-settings.php”.

Can we have some more explanations about this BLOGUPLOADDIR ? I cannot find what to put in this field (it needs some more explanation). WP 2.9.2

This looks like a great plug-in but it’s missing any sort of documentation. monpelaud – is there any documentation for this any where?

Li-An, there was a bug with WordPress 2.9.
Please test the latest version 1.2 and give me your feedback.
In the field “Upload Path:” you must put the target directory from “/wp-content/”. If blank the file is upload in “/wp-content/”.
For example if you put “videos” in this field the file is uploaded in ‘/wp-content/videos/’.
If ‘/wp-content/videos/’ doesn’t exist you get an error message when you save the widget.

For some reason this widget recognized my WP install as a WPMU one and thats why its directing to the folder BLOGUPLOADDIR. I changed the destination manually in the code.

Onto my real concern. How can I get this widget to show up for my friends. On my site all the people I trust have “Contributor” status or higher, but they cannot see the widget in the sidebar. Only me as Administrator. trizzou implied he had a solution but I′m a total newbie when it comes to actual coding. Thanks

OK, the new version is OK for the directory but I’ve got an “Chargement échoué ! Fichier non autorisé” error with 10 Mo max, *.jpg, *.gif for the type and visiteur for the authorisation (sorry for my bad english). I’m connected as Admin.

Linusf,

1-For the folder, apparently the behavior is not the same according to the version of php.
As soon as possible I will publish a new version (1.3) that correct definitively this bug.
2-With the field “Authorized WP Role” you choose which role is allowed to upload files.
Only this role and admin see this widget to upload files.
Upload Widget is multi-widget, you have to create so much of widget that of roles authorized to download and set the correct “Authorized WP Role”.
Every role will see only his widget.
The admin will be the only one to see all the widgets.

Li-An,

Pas de problème pour l’anglais, car je suis fran?ais et mon anglais n’est pas terrible!
D’après mes tests je pense que avez un espace quelque part dans la liste des extensions autorisées.
La liste des extensions autorisées ne doit comporter aucun espace, que ce soit au début de liste, à l’intérieur de la liste ou la fin de la liste.
Je vais corriger ce problème dans une nouvelle version.

Merci pour votre aide.

It’s OK. You were right, it came from the space.

It could be nice the admin have more options for relooking the presentation of the widget.

trizzou what did you modify in the code to make the widget work for visitors?

Bammercode,

In lignes 142 and 146 replace ‘Visitor’ by ‘visitor’.
In Widget admin set :
“Authorized WP Role:” to ‘Visitor’.

I will publish, as soon as possible, a new version that fixe this bug.
Please, tell if it works fine.

Best Regards

Yep, that worked, thanks for helping. I actually looked at those lines and made them both capital because the rest of the code was that way, i guess i should have tried both lowercase before asking.
