I have a ExpressionEngine 2 installation with the MultipleSiteManager installed.

There are two sites:

* default_site
* mobile

From the mobile site I am trying to add a new file to a upload destination that is setup in the default_site via a custom module.

So as an example I am trying to do this from the mobile site:

$this->EE->filemanager->upload_file($dir_id, ‘field_id_8’) where $dir_id is a dir_id from the default_site.

I am getting a “You do not have access to this upload directory.” error that is being thrown in ~/system/expressionengine/libraries/FileManager.php line 1074. This is to be expected because the file manager is looking for that id on the current site, which is mobile.

Does anyone know how I can use the filemanager to upload to the default_site from the mobile?

Thanks,
Mike

Can’t you just setup a file upload destination that points at the same images location as your main site uses?

No. This form is actually creating a new photo channel entry in the default site. The channel entry has a file field. So when I create that channel entry I also need to create the new file upload obj so it can be linked to the entry.

Is an easier way to create a new Channel entry on the default site?

Sorry…missed the “custom module” part.

Have you looked at SafeCracker for forms that create entries?

I haven’t. I will do some reading.

Thanks

Ok that looks like it will be a much better solution. I’ve created a safecracker form and it setup a safecracker file field. When I go to create this default_site entry from the “mobile” site I get the error “Photo - You do not have access to this upload directory.”.

Is there something I have to do in the control panel to allow this upload destination to be used via safecracker?

Thanks for your help. This post can be closed. I will re-open another to address the file upload permissions.

Closing.
