    Allowing members to upload images

    I have a client request for an umby site that will contain an area for members of certain groups to upload images, links etc.

    Note that these are members, not umbraco admins.

    I've not done anything like this before with umbraco, and I'm fishing around for the best approach. Can anyone point me in the general direction of a solution? I can't see anything obvious on the forum and my googling hasn't turned up anything good so far.

    Thanks!

    Hi Shaun,

    using the API to tap into media creation would be the way to go here. I wrote a package for posting classified ads in which I allow members (non-admins) to post ads and attached an image. You can take a look at the source for this package which should take you through the process of programmatically creating an image (including thumbnail).

    HTH,

    Great, let us know if you have any questions or something is not clear. I should mention that the source code of the above package probably needs a little polishing, but at least it will point you in the right direction. 

    Thanks,
    Nik
