  <input type="hidden" name="action" value="uploadimage" />
  <input type="hidden" name="cat_id" value="{cat_id}" />
  <table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
  <td valign="top" class="head1">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top" class="head1">{lang_user_upload}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<td class="row1"><b>{lang_category}</b></td>
<td class="row1">{cat_name}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<td class="row2" valign="top">
  <b>{lang_media_file}</b><br />
  <span class="smalltext">
  {lang_max_filesize}<b>{max_media_filsize}</b><br />
  {lang_max_imagewidth}<b>{max_media_imagewidth}</b><br />
  {lang_max_imageheight}<b>{max_media_imageheight}</b><br />
  </span>
</td>
<td class="row2">
  <b>Upload:</b><br />
  <input type="file" name="media_file" class="input" /><br />
  <span class="smalltext"><b>{lang_allowed_file_types}</b> {allowed_media_types}</span>
</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<td class="row1" valign="top"><b>{lang_description}</b></td>
<td class="row1">
  <textarea name="image_description" cols="30" class="textarea" rows="10" wrap="VIRTUAL">{image_description}</textarea>
</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<td class="row2" valign="top"><b>{lang_keywords}</b></td>
<td class="row2">
  <textarea cols="30" class="textarea" rows="3" wrap="VIRTUAL" name="image_keywords">{image_keywords}</textarea>
</td>
  </tr>
</table>
  </td>
</tr>
  </table>
   <p align="center"><input type="submit" name="uploadbutton" value="{lang_submit}" class="button" />
<input type="reset" value="{lang_reset}" class="button" /></p>
</form>
I simplyfied the member_uploadform.html so that the user does not have to enter the image_name and the image_filename is used for this...

Thank you for your quick response. My problem is not the page layout using html. The problem is regardless whether I keep an "Image Name:" field or not, without filling out that filled 4images doesn't allow me to upload any images. It gives me an error saying "Please fill out the Image Name field!” I think I have to set up a condition for it to take the "Image File" name as "Image Name", I just don't know where.

Also when an unregistered guest tries to upload images it get's stuck, it doesn't upload anything (even though I gave authorization for an unregistered guest to upload in that section)!

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

well, yes - sorry I forgot to mention, that you have to comment these lines in member.php

Code: [Select]

if ($image_name == "")  {
    $error = 1;
    $field_error = preg_replace("/".$site_template->start."field_name".$site_template->end."/siU", str_replace(":", "", $lang['image_name']), $lang['field_required']);
    $msg .= (($msg != "") ? "<br />" : "").$field_error;
  }

so it should look like this:

Code: [Select]

//  if ($image_name == "")  {
//    $error = 1;
//    $field_error = preg_replace("/".$site_template->start."field_name".$site_template->end."/siU", str_replace(":", "", $lang['image_name']), $lang['field_required']);
//    $msg .= (($msg != "") ? "<br />" : "").$field_error;
//  }
I guess that could do the trick...

Thank you martrix. It worked.

Now how can I do the same thing for the Admin "Add Images" screen. I mean the one in control panel? So in the absence of "Image Name" the system uses the "Image File" name.

I don't know - I did not feel the need to change that in the admin-section, because if I'd like to upload more pics at once and don't want to bother about the name, then I use FTP

I agree. In my oppinion image upload in ACP is useless...

Thank you all for your response. I am working on a group website which is in my friend's server space so our domain is a sub-domain. The host provider allows only one ftp access and I don't feel comfortable asking him for the ftp password, as he is running his personal site in the same server space.

That’s why I was looking for the mod. I guess I will have live with the problem.

One of my classmates was using the method that I was looking for. He got all the information as far as how to modify the mod - from this board but I couldn't find the posting anywhere and my friend didn't remember the process either.

Anyway, thanks.

Did you ask the host-provider explicitly?

My also "allows" only one FTP account, but when I asked for another one to a specific category (to be sure, that nobody may cause any harm, when I give the id and pass out) he opened another account without any problem
