Contents. Method 1, SWFUpload Part 1: Introduction SWFUpload is a free open source multiple file uploader available for download from A demo of swfupload is available here: The standard way to upload a file is with a HTML form. This works great if you are uploading one file, but browsers do not let you select and upload more than one file at a time (Update Feb 2010, Firefox 3.5+ and some other modern browsers support the HTML5 multiple file input) The most common way of selecting multiple files for upload is to use flash and javascript. The flash part of the script opens up a select file dialog where multiple files can be selected, and the flash/javascript sends each file, and receives the response from the server.

Dec 19, 2013 This video will demonstrate how to upload a PDF file in Joomla 3.0 and then create a reference link for it on any page/article. This is a very easy to use, yet powerful, upload file(s) module for Joomla. It can be as simple as just adding the directory to upload to, or you can chose to use any. I want to upload a pdf from a custom component from backend in the edit mode. The state now is, 1.- either the pdf is uploaded correctly but the file name is not.

The most popular scripts used to do this are SWFUpload and Fancy upload. The flash uploader in Joomla's media manager is based on Fancy Upload version 1.0. As Fancy upload 2.0 and 3.0 use mootools 1.2, and Joomla 1.5 uses mootools 1.11, we can not use Fancy Upload 2.0/3.0 in the admin pages of Joomla. Fancy Upload 1.0 could be used, but it is not updated or supported anymore. SWFUpload does not use Mootools or Jquery. Because of this it will likely work on any page with Mootools 1.11 (Joomla 1.5), or Mootools 1.2 (Joomla 1.6).

Therefore we will be using SWFUpload in this article. Download the latest version of SWFUpload from the download page.

Download the SWFUpload v2.2.0.1 Samples.zip file. Inside the file there will be a demos folder, and inside that a simpledemo folder.

This is the example we are going to integrate into a Joomla component. This tutorial assumes you have followed the tutorial and are familiar with Joomla's MVC structure. Part 2: Adding The External Javascript We need to add in the external links in the head of the document, put some javascript into the head of the doc, and put some HTML in our body.

If you look at the simpledemo/index.php page you will see links to 5 files in the head of the page. Make a folder within the root of your components folder called swfupload, copy the./css/default.css,./swfupload/swfupload.js, js/swfupload.queue.js, js/fileprogress.js and js/handlers.js files into this folder. We also need to copy the./swfupload/swfupload.swf and images/TestImageNoText65x29.png files into this folder. Within your view.html.php file add in the following code.

//get the hosts name jimport ( 'joomla.environment.uri' ); $host = JURI:: root ; //add the links to the external files into the head of the webpage (note the 'administrator' in the path, which is not nescessary if you are in the frontend) $document =& JFactory:: getDocument ; $document - addScript ( $host. 'administrator/components/commycomponent/swfupload/swfupload.js' ); $document - addScript ( $host.

'administrator/components/commycomponent/swfupload/swfupload.queue.js' ); $document - addScript ( $host. 'administrator/components/commycomponent/swfupload/fileprogress.js' ); $document - addScript ( $host.

'administrator/components/commycomponent/swfupload/handlers.js' ); $document - addStyleSheet ( $host. 'administrator/components/commycomponent/swfupload/default.css' ); That is the external files part done. We still have to add in the head javascript, and the body html. Part 3: Adding The Head Javascript Head javascript part: The javascript below is almost the same as the javascript from the simple demo, the few modifications are commented. It is nescessary to read through it and change the parts (such as task) that are relevant to your component. Upload Queue 0 Files Uploaded If all has gone well, you will be able to upload files to your components script, although nothing will happen on the server as there is no PHP to receive the image.

Part 5: Receiving The File With PHP It is worth noting that allowing users to upload files to the server is possibly the most dangerous thing to do in terms of security, and if someone with malicious intentions manages to upload a php file to your server, then they can easily take control of the site. It is recommended you do some reading on file upload security.

This is a good start: And there are many other good resources on the internet. It is important you understand how file upload security works, rather than copying and pasting some code that checks the MIME type, and assuming the script is safe. Here is some example PHP that will check if the file is an image, and upload it. It is not an exhaustive example of security checking, but it is a good start.
