Does Remository do this? - 2008/09/18 00:26
Hi all.
Don't know if I'm in the correct place, but here we go.
I posted this in the jomla forum a while a go:
I need to find some sort of extensions/pluggins.
It should basically be an up-load module with the following functions:
It should be able to handle what I call "paired files", i.e one thumb-file and the real file.
The real files size could be up to some 4GB.
Multiple file-pairs.
Registered users should be able to upload, non-registered not.
Files should be uploaded to a user-selected directory (categore etc)
The up-loader should be able to write a "friendly name", comments and descriptions of the file.
When uploaded, an email should be sent to admin, for approval of the file.
When the file is approved, it should be avaible for download.
For certain types of files (pictures), a thumb should be generated.
File-manager/Gallery/download extension.
All users should be able to browse the up-loaded files, either in traditional tree-view or in a gallery-type of view.
In tree-view, the "friendly-name" should be displayed, clicking on the name, should display the thumb, description, comments statistics etc.
For registered users, a download button should be present.
In Gallery-view, the thumb and the friendly name should be displayed.
When clicking, the same functions as above (tree-view) should be displayed.
Possibility to limit number of down-loads/user/time.
No files should be avaible, not even for browsing, unless they are marked as approved.
UL/DL ratio, the more uploads, the more downloads avaible per user.
Is this too much or is there something that would suit me?
In addition, here is the hard part:
HTTP/PHP is not a very good solution for uploading larger files (it was never designed to do that), so basically what I'm experiencing is that 70-80% of the uploads is failing, because the server is terminating the connection.
SO what I need is some sort of hidden(java?) ftp-client, that takes the arguments from the up-load-form,logs in to the ftp-server, uploads the file, fires of a php-script that the file(s) has been uploaded correctly to a temp location.
The script then moves the file to the correct place and the standar stuff can go on.
Now I have tried EVERY setting in PHP-ini and httpd.conf, with no success.
The problem seems to be that I'm sitting on a load-balanced clustered APACHE host, and this is the way it works, so HTTP/PHP uplods is a total no-go for me.
Technically, you can probably config Apache to deal with it, if it's not clustered and not virtual, but on a clustered setup there is some sort of cleaning process that cleans the temp-dir periodically and thus deletes the upload.
The thing is that since the server is not getting any requests for a long time, the server thinks that the connection is dead, and terminates it (it doesn't know that there is an upload in progress).
So, will Remository help me.
