with every user that opens a profile i want to make a folder within profiles with their userid (example http://domain.nl/profiles/2/ )

i only want them to upload pictures (no flash/other files) in the base map (no need for subfolder images/)

Well you must have some programming knowledge to do this I guess.
AFAIK, phpBB stores user id in $user->data['user_id'], so you must use this variable when constructing user's directory and when authenticating.

I tried to setup the easiest example for you, here's the result:

I've unpacked CKFidner inside of phpBB directory.
Inside config.php of CKFinder I borrowed a couple of lines of code from phpBB to authenticate user inside of CKFinder based on phpBB's user data.

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
//set this to your path to phpbb
$phpbb_root_path = '../../../../';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();

/**
 * This function must check the user session to be sure that he/she is 
 * authorized to upload and access files in the File Browser. 
 *
 * @return boolean
 */
function CheckAuthentication()
{
  global $user;
  return (!empty($user->data['user_id']) && $user->data['user_id']>1);
}

(I'm not sure if this check is safe enough though, I don't know phpBB code that much)

I've set helper variable $baseUrl to '/profiles/', because we want to store files there:

$baseUrl = '/profiles/';
$baseDir = resolveUrl($baseUrl);

Last thing to do was to configure CKFinder directory.
I have removed all resource types other than Images, and adjusted path to Images resource type:

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
      'name' => 'Images',
      'url' => $baseUrl . $user->data['user_id'],
      'directory' => $baseDir . $user->data['user_id'],
      'maxSize' => 0,
      'allowedExtensions' => 'bmp,gif,jpeg,jpg,png',
      'deniedExtensions' => '');

Note that url and directory are based on $user->data['user_id'].


Now all you have to do now is to look at CKFinder javascript samples and inject CKFinder code into phpBB. When you make it, it would be great if you could create a MOD in MODx format and make it available for other users.

Below is the simplest MOD (in old format) for phpBB 3.0.2 that just adds "Browse Server" inside of user's profile.
Note that you have to delete cached files after you change phpBB templates.

With the code above, users should be able to upload files to their own directories when they vist their profile. The only thing that has left is to display somehow images they have uploaded.

Can you paste/attach your config file? I guess you have made a mistake either in baseDir or in definition of Images resource type.

swinz wrote:how does it work when i want to set the userid for the editor?

i mean like:

      $finder = new CKFinder() ;
      $finder->BasePath = '/ckfinder/' ;
      $finder->SelectFunction = 'ShowFileInfo' ;
      $editor = $finder->CreateHtml() ;

can i make a code like this?:

$finder->userid = $user->data('user_id');

if this would work, how do i get/read the $finder->userid back in the configfile??

Could you explain what exactly do you want to achieve because I don't understand what do you mean?
Do you want to use different user_id than user_id that is assigned to currently logged user?
You may try to pass dynamic variables to config.php using sessions... I need more information to help you.

edit:

another question:

is it possible to set an amount of pictures to be uploaded? i want to have a maximum of 12 pictures for each user!

At this moment, the only way to achieve this is to modify CKFinder connector. It's not a very hard task, but try to keep your modifications clean so that you could re-apply them when you update CKFinder in the future (e.g. keep your custom code inside of a function, or comment your changes).

Take a look into core\connector\php\phpX\CommandHandler\FileUpload.php, resource type settings are available here:

$resourceTypeInfo = $this->_currentFolder->getResourceTypeConfig();

you have add code that scans this directory and rejects uploading if directory contains more than 12 files:

$this->_errorHandler->throwError(CKFINDER_CONNECTOR_ERROR_CUSTOM_ERROR, "Maximum number of uploaded files exceeded");
