Want to make use of the upload function in other plugins

if you are just looking for a file upload capability for users, I use the cForms plugin….. lets me allow DJs to upload music mixes to my site

you just set up a form with it, and make one of the fields a file upload field

I am looking for an upload field as well, but for the admin side. I want to add one to datafeedr random adds. BUt somehow my added code:

<?php
	function my_admin_scripts() { // function to load scripts
	wp_enqueue_script('media-upload');
	wp_enqueue_script('thickbox');
	wp_register_script('my-upload', WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/my-script.js', array('jquery','media-upload','thickbox'));
	wp_enqueue_script('my-upload');
	}

	function my_admin_styles() {
	wp_enqueue_style('thickbox');
	}

	if (isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == 'my_plugin_page') {
	add_action('admin_print_scripts', 'my_admin_scripts'); // load own javascripts
	add_action('admin_print_styles', 'my_admin_styles'); // load own css
	}

	?>
		<tr valign="top">
		<th scope="row">Upload Image</th>
		<td><label for="upload_image">
		<input id="upload_image" type="text" size="36" name="upload_image" value="" />
		<input id="upload_image_button" class="thickbox" type="button" value="Upload Image" />
		<br />Enter an URL or upload an image for the banner.
		</label></td>
		</tr>

Does not seem to work. I have found this code and adjusted it slightly, but the newly added image uplaod button does not open the WP uploader pop-up….

Latest code for image upload field using ThickBox in (DataFeedr) plugin:

<?php
// Add code for upload field

function my_admin_scripts() { // function to load scripts
wp_enqueue_script('media-upload');
wp_enqueue_script('thickbox');
wp_register_script('my-upload', WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/datafeedr-ads/my-script.js', array('jquery','media-upload','thickbox'));
wp_enqueue_script('my-upload');
}

function my_admin_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style('thickbox');
}

if (isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == 'datafeedr-ads') {
add_action('admin_print_scripts', 'my_admin_scripts'); // load own javascripts
add_action('admin_print_styles', 'my_admin_styles'); // load own css
}
?>
<tr valign="top">

			<td><label for="upload_image">
			<div class="clear" style="height:10px;"></div>
			Enter an URL or upload an image for the ad.		<br />
			<input id="upload_image_button"  type="button" value="Insert Image" />
			</label></td>
			</tr>
				<div class="clear" style="height:10px;"></div>
		<div>
			<a href="javascript:;" onclick="addEvent();" class="button-secondary">Add Box</a>
			<input name="submit-edit-group" type="submit" value="Save Changes" class="button-secondary">

			<div class="clear"> </div>

Here the JavaScript (my-script.js):

jQuery(document).ready(function() {

jQuery('#upload_image_button').click(function() {
 formfield = jQuery('#upload_image').attr('name');
 tb_show('','media-upload.php?type=image&TB_iframe=true');
 return false;
});
// send url back to plugin editor

window.send_to_editor = function(html) {
 imgurl = jQuery('img',html).attr('src');
 jQuery('#dfrads_textarea').val(imgurl);
 tb_remove();
}

});
