I have been looking everywhere for a script like this...hundres of sites that allow you to do it, but nothing on how to add it to my own site.
So, does anyone have a good block code or possibly a php solution to add a page to the forum that will allow users to upload ringtones, graphics, etc to their cell phones from my site?
wow that would be interesting to do.............
sure would...and think of the possibilities since smf is already wap compatible?
Umm I say a mod for this at smf.
But just a quick fix couldnt you just use a template make sure it doesnt pull any images and just mess with the css to make everything black and white etc?

Don't know what the black and white part is about, but I am talking about a feature (Module, MOD, hack, whatever) to allow members to upload ringtones, graphics, etc. to their cell phones...the merge with wap compatibility could be the possibility of allowing members who access the site by cell-phone to download the same from the wap site.
SMF already has the wap capability
See what I thought you meant was for sites be accessible from cell phones.
My bad.
TechnoDragon, what are those hundreds of sites you mentioned in your first post? I haven't seen one :P If I'm not wrong, to upload mobile contents to cell phones, you'll need a gateway. What I had done was merely to allow users to upload to my site and download from their cell phones. So there's actually one more step involved.

Those are just a few
Seems like they're for Sprint users?? I'm not one.. Sorry, have no idea how it works. Do you have any idea how the contents comes to your phone? I was guessing it comes in as an email/MMS with attachments or an SMS with a link. Just stabbing in the dark ;D

That is because that is who my provider is...but the upload is pretty much the same (at least in concept)
User comes to the site...chooses the file to upload, then whatever magic behind the scenes, message is sent to the phone with a link to download it off of my server. I do know that there is some kind of file that is created so that the phone knows what it is downloading..that craig given site kinda explains that...but all of it together is confusing...I have tried finding a premade php script that will allow for easy setup of this stuff...but so far have been unsuccessful...I can't beleieve with the number of sites i have found that they all created them from scratch....
btw..here are a couple more sites...
http://www.mobfile.com/upload-files.php
http://www.file2fone.com/
http://www.funformobile.com/pages/ringtone/uploadRingtone.php
I would try sending my mobile an email with the link to the uploaded file. The problem is I have no idea what my provider's email address is

a quick way to find that out would be to send yourself a message to your online email...that is how i found mine out
oh yes.. i'm getting dumb.. i'ld like to add more mobile services to my site too. i'll take a peek when i can think..
in the meantime, this site provides a windows version and a web version:
http://www.mobilatory.com
That is cool...but if we could only get that for the forum...
most of the scripts i found are paid ones. if you want a free one, i found this but don't know if it'll work cos' the index file looks pretty much garbaggy to me..

I looked at it...the garbage is because the files are corrupted...they are no good. Shoot...why is it so hard to find a free uploader?
Anyone anywhere know how to accomplish this?
Maybe you'ld like to try to contact the folks at http://www.mobilatory.com?
I found a solution!...when I get it finished i will post it here so everyone can see!
Ithis little program is nearly perfect for what I want...one issue however...and this may be the worng place for this part of the topic...but is there any way to make this store the files on disk rather IN the database? That is the only flaw in it as it could rapidly eat up all of my db quota for my host.
Here is one and availible for download. Rumkin distributes is uploader freely as long as you give him credit at least somewhere. It is for sprint, but can be used on a varity of phones and providers. It is very popular and should be able to work for what you want to do.

This is perfect! Thank you so very much Dallas...I will begin to modify it to better fit the layout of my forum...heck...if I can get it working well enough I may repost it over at simplemachines as a mod (I am going to try to make this a fully integrated feature if I can)
Np glad I could help. You guys have a great site here. I love the SMF forums and tiny portal. Makes things so much easier. I would like to see it when your done. I run a software forum for making cellphone and mobile content. and mod 2 other forums that are free cellphone content. Games, apps, ringers,videos and all that other stuff so I am really interested in what you are doing. Good luck and keep us posted.
Well, I have a good base for it now...you can check it out by going to my forum and clicking the Phone Upload Button at top (you will most likely have to register as I have been able to make it a member only feature)
I even changed it around so it now has a copywrite at the bottom so rumkin gets his due credit!
Looks good. I like it nice site.
thank you...i intend to modify it some more to clean up the look a bit more...you otta stop in every now and then...i have a lot to offer there. ;D
Hehe Techno Dragon actually has everything that can entertain anything short of an imagination. Its a Great Site!
Techno Dragon. I registered today. I will stop in a check it out completely when I get some time. Just took a quick look earlier is all after I registered. Like it alot. Great job.
I don't see your little phone upload anywhere techo... Mind pointing the blindman to the place? :)
In the forum at the top bar to the right you have the phone link.
here is the direct link
http://forum.technodragon.net/index.php?action=wapsite
Sorry the replies have been long in coming...i had someone request to know how this was going. Well, the uploader is installed and in full-swing...even have some games and other files available...it is working really great atm, with a major update coming in awhile to improve the overall functionality of it...if you're interested, you outta check it out....
hey technodragon, the project looks good. :up: you plan on posting a how to on installing this when you are through tweaking?
to be honest, it is the same method i used to integrate the gallery which is posted on my forum. just leave off the header.php info (that was specific to the gallery).
