Allow frontend user to upload images/pdfs?

Post by dekcolnu »

I might be missing documentation or configuration but I can't figure it out.

Why can't I upload attachments being a user on front-end, but I can as admin?

Is there a way to allow frontend user to upload? To be clear, I see the "Insert" area, I also see image, but it asks for a source without browse button. In admin there is a browse button so I can search on computer.

Thanks.

Hi,

a user can upload an image if you select to use the WYSIWYG editor in the frontend.

Hello Thorsten,

Thanks for responding.

I'm pretty sure I have that configuration set. I've attached a combined screenshot of settings to this comment.

Can you tell me if these are the correct settings, or if I'm missing something? nomediaupload.png shows the media upload but all I see is source where I can put a URL, no actual upload option

Thanks again.

Edit: I blurred out the template part, because it contained company information.

Hi,

I checked the code, the image upload is missing in the frontend. Sorry.

Pasting images should work, if that's enough.

Hi Thorsten,

Sadly that's not enough, we need front-end users to be able to upload.

Any way we can fix this on our environment?

Thanks again for looking.

Hi,

phpMyFAQ 2.9 won't get any feature updates anymore, so please upgrade to 3.0 (and later 3.1)
