Very happy with openupload and have tweaked it a bit to really make it slick for us. But, for whatever reason, people don¹t seem to want to do the notification part post-upload. Do others have this issue? Basically, I get alerted by the receiver that the file is there from the sender and I have to pop-in as admin and see the file id then send the link to the receiver. Have other run into this? If so, have you done anything to mod the notification page or something to let the senders know just uploading doesn¹t do it and you NEED to let the person receiving know how to get the file(s) you are sending? Any help appreciated. Jonathan ................................

Your users are lazy so they don't send the e-mail to the correct person? Alessandro |

I don't know if it is lazy, but yes the notification side is a step that is not being done. We have been using it more for new hires to submit video or other large files for job interviews, so we are dealing with people who are new to openupload. Jonathan ................................

I'm still not sure I do understand the problem, sorry. The concept around this version of Open Upload is I give it to the internal people to send a file to external people. I (the administrator) am not supposed to know to who my users send the file to, and surely open upload cannot know the destination of a file (or is there any magic I am missing?). Now the problem could be if I give external people an account (either registered or not) to send files to internal people. This is a different way of using it, as I need someone to upload a file for me, and this led me to implement the "invitation" in 0.5 version (which is in svn and not yet ready, although I have used it in production and it seems to work fine) There is another way of using it, which is internal users upload files for internal users, and here the assigntouser plugin probably will solve the issue. For what I see in the first case I cannot think of any way to solve it, unless modifying the template (whith a HUGE warning) or code and force the people to specify to who to send the e-mail to. Let me know if this helps you in any way. Alessandro |

Once this works it's only a matter to configure the web server to authenticate. Alessandro |

I think I will try this. Perhaps even something on the upload page itself that notes to let the user you want to send the file to know about it "Next Step: Notify the person the files can be downloaded" or something.

Is 0.5 planed to be released any time soon ?

Long time ago I wanted to release an alpha, but it needed more things to be released. I have a couple of 0.5 installations in production which seem to perform good, but it misses things I think might be crucial to call it a release. I've also been thinking on backporting this functionality to 0.4 which I think is one important feature missing from it. I'd really like to give you some more info. I absolutely want to push out a 0.5 version but it's taking more time than I thought. So, back to the original question. the answer is: 0.5 will be released, probably not soon unless somebody else steps up to help with it. Ciao, Alessandro P.S. If you are willing to experiment and have some knowledge of php/mysql you could try out svn version, and report. The installation must be done manually as the setup is not working. |

I'll try to install svn version when I find some spare time (I'm also running out of spare time, who decided a day should only be 24 hours ? ;)). My PHP/MySQL skills are very limited, but I'll try to report if I find something, and maybe provide patches for simple things.

I think you're talking about my patch implementing the httpldap auth module (called httpldap because it just relies on the web server to validate credentials, and then uses the standard ldap module to get user/group information).
