upload catalogs
First up you need to configure catalogs before you can accept uploads.
Check the wiki here if you have any issues setting up catalogs.
Now that you have a place for your uploads you need to configure an upload_catalog.
These are all system options which means that you can not set up individual upload_catalogs for each user.
To configure these settings, navigate to the System settings page preferences.php?action=admin&tab=system
Lets explain the settings:
-
Allow user uploads
- Enable or disable uploads
-
Allow users to edit uploaded songs
- Allow a user to edit their own uploads (Even if they don't have the user permissions)
-
Allow users to remove uploaded songs
- Same as Edit this will allow delete permissions for user uploads
-
Consider the user sender as the track's artist
- Ignore the tags or manual selection and set the user as the artist
-
Create a subdirectory per user
- When you upload a song it will be saved in a directory named after the user who uploaded it
-
Destination catalog
- Which catalog is used for uploads? Must be a music folder
-
Post-upload script (current directory = upload target directory)
- Run a script from the server after each upload. (Probably shouldn't set this but it's available if you trust everyone)
-
Rename uploaded file according to catalog pattern
- This will use the song sorter to read file tags and name itself according to the file tags.
- If Ampache can't replace all the variables it will be stored in the root directory (or user directory if configured)
This tells us that you haven't selected the catalog where the uploaded files will go.
Make sure you have selected a catalog in System preferences (preferences.php?action=admin&tab=system)
As a User you can browse uploads (stats.php?action=upload) in 2 places.
On the main sidebar.
In the user preferences tab
As an Admin you can browse uploads for all users using Browse Uploads in the admin tab (Ampache Develop only)
I've seen some bugs regarding the movement of files when you enable
Rename uploaded file according to catalog pattern.
Ampache develop fixes these but have not made it to a stable release yet.
