Upload to Users CMP

Upload to Users CMP¶

A Custom Manager Page (CMP) to upload file to registered members to a specified parent folder.

The extra link is https://modx.com/extras/package/uploadtouserscmp . The GitHub link is https://github.com/goldsky/UploadToUsers .

It would be useful for setting up specific folers to each of logged in users, and use FileLister or FileDownload R (>=1.0.0-rc.4) snippet to get the folder using user's ID or username to their own folders.

Examples¶

[[FileLister? &path=`assets/userfile/[[+modx.user.id]]/`]]
[[FileDownload? &getDir=`assets/userfile/[[+modx.user.username]]/`]]

Since version 1.0-pl, this package added database table to store additional information about the files, so it can be used later on to replace the filename on the list, and even better, add description into the list.

Upload to Users Snippet¶

Currently, it can only be used by FileDownload R because the link has its own placeholder.

Examples¶

To use the snippet, user need to change the FileDownload's template from the original:

<tr[[+fd.class]]>
    <td style="width:16px;"><img src="[[+fd.image]]" alt="[[+fd.image]]" /></td>
    <td><a href="[[+fd.link]]"[[+fd.linkAttribute]]>[[+fd.filename]]</a>
        <span style="font-size:80%">([[+fd.count]] downloads)</span>
    </td>
    <td>[[+fd.sizeText]]</td>
    <td>[[+fd.date]]</td>
</tr>
[[-- This is the description row if the &chkDesc=`chunkName` is provided --]]
[[+fd.description:notempty=`<tr>
    <td></td>
    <td colspan="3">[[+fd.description]]</td>
</tr>`:default=``]]

to, for instance:

<tr[[+fd.class]]>
    <td style="width:16px;"><img src="[[+fd.image]]" alt="[[+fd.image]]" /></td>
    <td><a href="[[+fd.link]]"[[+fd.linkAttribute]]>
            [[!uploadtousers:default=`[[+fd.filename]]`? &path=`[[+fd.fullPath]]` &field=`title`]]
        </a>
        <span style="font-size:80%">([[+fd.count]] downloads)</span>
    </td>
    <td>[[+fd.sizeText]]</td>
    <td>[[+fd.date]]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td></td>
    <td colspan="3">[[!uploadtousers? &path=`[[+fd.fullPath]]` &field=`description`]]</td>
</tr>

The result of the FileDownload output will be changed like this:

Properties¶

The available fields are id, dir_path, name, title, description.
