Mobile Upload

Does anyone know how I can upload photos to ZP from a mobile phone? I have a Blackberry and tried to upload a photo but it said I must enter a folder to upload to or something.

    Can you run FTP from your Blackberry? If so, use it. If not you will probably have to upload your Blackberry images to your PC then upload them to the album form there.

    That's a really good idea. But after looking for an FTP client for my Blackberry I was only able to turn up one program, and it would cost $35 to purchase it. It's not really worth it at that point. I'm gonna see if I can determine why ZP throws an error when I try to upload via my phone.

    Single photo upload is pretty easy to do with php:
    http://www.blazonry.com/scripting/upload-size.php

    I wonder what you need to do to be able to give a title and a description to the image. Title should be easy by adding a title field to upload page and renaming the file accordingly. Here's some ideas how to customize the upload code from above site:

    * Modifications to suite zengallery

    2002-06-10:

    * Plugged security hole with is_uploaded_file() function. Thanks much
    to Timothy Rieder for pointing this out.

    2001-01-10:

    * Added line of text letting user know what extension was read in
    when denying a file upload. Suggestion by Sandro Juergensen.

    2001-01-09:

    * Removed GIF support from script to not encourage the use of
    silly patents. For more info: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gif.html

    * Cleaned up the code and comments

    * Moved the extension check out of the size check loop.
    Thanks Sandro Juergensen

    * Added lower casing the extension check

    * Added converting spaces in filename to underscores

    2000-05-31:

    * original script released

    Easiest is to put the metadata into IPTC fields in the image. Otherwise your upload script needs to create an image object, set the values, then save the object.

    So when do we get flash/jQuery upload for mobile phones in zP? ;)
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    When someone creates that...;-) Sorry, I won't as I don't have any mobile device. But there are surely some FTP apps for your device you can use (I guess on iDevices and other smart phones with proper browsers our backend would actually work as well).
