I started my search by looking for available upload extensions for Radiant CMS. The most popular one I found was Paperclipped. After some trail runs with Paperclipped I wasn’t satisfied. I found that it was trying to be too smart for my good. I think my clients need something simple. They just want the ability to upload files and reference them in their web pages. To me that sounds like an web based scp/ftp application. This extension is the first step in that direction.
- Ability to upload binary file (images, pdf, etc.)
- See a list of uploaded files
- Delete files you have uploaded
- Exception handling
- Auto create upload directory
- Clickable insert into Textile based pages
- Download the source code with: git clone git://github.com/buwilliams/file-upload.git
- Copy the code into your (radiant)/vendor/extension/ directory
- Create your upload folder at (radiant)/public/upload
- Visit the radiant site and click on the Files tab.
If you have any ideas or change requests please send me an email at buddy [at] buddylee [dot] org and I’ll be happy to update the source code.
