uploading pictures to ee

[tcultice]

Does E/E have an upload function built into it? I belong to a site that uses E/E and they have an "upload a picture" button on it. And also when I go to http://www.mysite.com/gallery I see a directory of files is that normal? Should the link to the gallery be gallery/index.php?


thanks

No not yet. Maybe the site you mention has their own ftp upload interface. Can you give an URL to that site?

This is a server setting: your server is probably set to open index.html automatically. Index.php will work too if configured so.

If you run Apache, you can do a .htaccess file on each folder. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex

.htaccess in this case would be something like

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

Yes the url for that site is: http://www.gofishohio.com the photo gallery link is on the let hand side . Not sure if it posts directly to E/E or not never uploaded any pics there yet. So i need to create files for each exhibit? One for big, thumb, micro thumb? By the way do you know what message board this is? Really like the look and functions, looking for a better one for my site that will handle uploads, and have pass protection.

It seems to be a simple file upload script which just puts files to a folder. Admin would then have to review the photos and insert them to EE.

thumb and microthumb are compulsory, big sizes are quite free: you can have only one or dozens...

This is a modified tforum. Tforum is not developed any more. http://www.phpbb.com/ seems to be very popular nowadays.
