i'm looking for a way to ease up on the ftp process i always go through.

i'd like to add a field just above the subject name field, where i could browse for an image on my hard drive to upload to my server (same server the boards share)

this would be for admin's only (me!)

is possible?

if you add the boards authentification to this, you have what you want.

Or this:

ok!

i found this tute pretty helpful. and i even got it working already, here

some questions:

1) is it possible to set up so that the final destination is not fixed? like, sometimes i'd like an image to be placed in "/uploads/baseball/" and other times times "/uploads/hockey/". do i have to create a seperate upload for each?

2) how can i set this up so that its only viewable to admins? (i'm the only admin)

> /uploads/baseball/" and other times times "/uploads/hockey/

Instead of hardcoding the directory, put a variable in there and populate it using a dropdown menu.
Look at the jumpmenu at the bottom right of this page to see the concept.


2) Include this at the top of the script

// Require the library
require ("./includes/main.inc.php");
// Get the user info
$userob = new user;
$user = $userob -> authenticate("U_Groups");
$html = new html;
// Make sure they should be here
if ( $user['U_Status'] != 'Administrator') {
$html -> not_right ("Only admins can use this script",$Cat);
}
