WP Easy Uploader

WP Easy Uploader was created to make the life of WordPress bloggers easier by allowing an Administrator to add plugins, themes, and any type of file to WordPress directly from inside WordPress. You no longer have to load up an FTP client just to try out that latest plugin or to upload a text document for people to download.

Current Features

  • Upload any type of file to either the standard Uploads directory (just as images do when you are creating posts and pages) or to a path of your choosing.
  • Manual paths are automatically created if they don’t exist.
  • Easily upload plugins directly to the plugins directory and theme files directly to the themes directory.
  • You can select to have archives automatically extracted to their destination. This means that plugins and themes will be taken care of for you, but it also means that you can zip up a large set of files and upload them quickly into a folder on your site. Currently zip, tar, gz, tar.gz, tgz, and tar.bz2 archives are supported.
  • Options for overwriting existing files, renaming the fle if a file with that name already exists (or if overwriting fails), removal of the archive after file extraction, and forcing extracted files to be contained in a folder.

Thanks to File_Archive developed by Pablo Fischer, I was able to provide the extraction ability irregardless of server operating system. I have not tested his code extensively since I only have access to Linux-based servers. If you have any problems with the extraction ability, please contact me.

Planned Features

  • Customizable permissions to allow for users with privileges below Administrator to upload files. My idea is for Administrators to have full access to all the uploader’s functionality while people below Administrator won’t have access to upload themes, plugins, or to manual paths and won’t be able to overwrite files or extract archives.
  • If the above is implemented, I’d like to provide a menu of options for tailoring what minimum access level is required to access each function.
  • Also if the first item is implemented, I’d like to add logging in order to keep track of who uploaded what and when. This would be useful for keeping track of anyone (such as a contributor) who is using the file space inappropriately.

Warning

This plugin does have the ability to overwrite any file inside your WordPress site as long as write permissions for the web server are enabled for that file and the overwrite checkbox has been selected. This means that you can overwrite the wp-config.php file if you tried to. So, always make sure that you are paying attention to what you are doing.

Requirements

  • WordPress 2.2+ - This is as far back as I’ve tested the plugin. I’ve gone through each iterative version backwards, and I have yet to find a version back to 2.2 that this plugin doesn’t work with. If you have different results, please let me know.

Versions

  • 1.0.1 - released on June 27, 2008
    Initial concept
  • 1.0.2 - released on June 28, 2008
    Updated to support WordPress Mu

    It looks like some other plugins are using the package that WP Easy Uploader uses to upload files. I’ll see about creating a work around and will contact you when I have a possible fix. Thank you for the information.

  13. Aaron July 2nd, 2008 5:45 pm

    Thanks, real helpful plugin. I have another suggestion. How about a plugin that allows registered users to upload stuff.

  14. Chris Jean July 2nd, 2008 5:49 pm

    Interesting idea. Do you have some ideas on how that would be used? In other words, what kind of content would you expect these users to upload?

    The main problem I would see with such a tool is it would create an exploitable hole where people could host their potentially unwanted content for free on your server.

  15. Aaron July 2nd, 2008 6:03 pm

    Yea I didn’t think about the exploitable hole issue, but my I idea was like Kineda’s Lookbook, it is powered by BBPress though, but I was thinking about a plugin that would help registered users to upload images, something like Kineda’s Lookbook

  16. Chris Jean July 2nd, 2008 6:14 pm

    I’ve uploaded a new version to the plugin repository. Make sure that you get version 1.0.4. The fix I included should work just fine, but it also may have some undesirable consequences if the previously-loaded version of the File_Archive library is older than what is included with my plugin. I’ll see if I can talk to the developer of the BackUpWordPress plugin so that it plays nicer with other plugins.

    Any idea?

  42. Ian Kirk July 5th, 2008 1:50 pm

    Just so you know that on a IIS (Windows) installation the rewrites create an invalid path, mixing \ with /. I was trying to figure out the code, but I’m too much of a PHP novice to figure it out.

  43. Chris Jean July 5th, 2008 2:28 pm

    Are you talking about the regular expression that modifies the resulting path before printing it out? If so, I’m aware of the issue and will be releasing a new version soon that has a fix for the problem.

    Thanks for the information.

  59. Erland July 8th, 2008 10:06 pm

    Hey, I’m getting a problem using this that every file uploaded using this plugin is owned by “webserver” which means that I can’t do anything with them - I can’t even delete them or change the permissions by http://FTP. Also, images uploaded using this don’t show up in the ‘Media Library’. Any suggestions?

  60. Chris Jean July 8th, 2008 11:00 pm

    Just as when you upload a file with FTP, it is owned by the FTP user, uploading with WP Easy Uploader causes created files to be owned by the webserver user. There is no way to change this due to permissions (FTP users cannot assign a different user and I cannot assign a different user on upload). In reality, this is a desirable functionality as it ensures that the files created by the plugin can be overwritten by the plugin or modifiable by other plugins.

    That said, files uploaded by WP Easy Uploader are changed to a permission of 666, which is read and write permissions for all users, after the file is written. There may be an issue with permissions on files extracted from archives, so I’ll run some tests to ensure that they get the 666 permissions set as well.

    As for the Media Library, WordPress pulls from the database to show those images rather than showing files in specific folder structures. Having an option to include the file in the Media Library is a good idea. I’ll look into adding that feature to the plugin.

  61. Erland July 9th, 2008 12:04 am

    Hi,
    Thanks for the speedy reply. Understand it better now. The Media Library feature would be awesome if it’s possible to have that in the future.
    Cheers,
    Erland,

  73. John Porter August 17th, 2008 9:23 am

    What a great plugin! Like the comment from dan on August 12th 2008, I would like to see the uploads in my media library, otherwise for normal uploads it’s a little pointless. Each uploaded file (even unzipped ones) need to be added to the posts table as type attachment for this to work.

    I miss the ability to be able to upload files to the media library without having to write a post to attach them to, I think that way it is done now is a little backwards and this is where a plugin like this could really clean up!!

    So far, brilliant!

    That would be great if we can have this plugin working on the user side : a little bit like notcot dot org

    Lets say that user upload images, and links then the admin approve or not, then publish it…

    and i think this plugin is pretty close to make it possible. Let me know if you think it is a good idea ?

    I like the idea of this plugin a lot, as I set up blogs for friends now and again, and having something where they can upload plugins and themes without having to call me is AWESOME :)

    However, I have a problem similar to Shyam and I believe the problem is based on case-sensitive directories. the code requires File/Archive.php for example but on the filesystem, it’s file/archive. Same for PEAR.php vs pear.php.

    I don’t know if this is a limitation of the zip extraction, or if you didn’t preserve case when you built the zip file, but that’s the problem I’m having now.

    I’m not sure if the answer is to rename the directories and files or change the code :)

    here’s an example:

    Warning: main(PEAR.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/0/d87225138/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-easy-uploader/pear/file/archive/reader.php on line 34

    I did some more tests and I think my hosting provider changed out the unzip() tool on my server, because it seems it was packaged correctly. Not until I did \unzip -U (zip file) did it extract with the right case for the directories and files.

    So, I guess it’s a false alarm. Great plugin!

    Hi,

    First off - great plugin! It has saved me a lot of work!

    Anyways, I have a problem with the plugin. When I try to use remote upload to upload a 60-70MB file, there is no response. It submits the information and then loads a white page. I checked for the file and it wasn’t uploaded.

    Could you please look into it. Thanks!
