Hi,
I wrote a ready to use Joomla Plugin for Dropbox.
It would be nice to get a feedback.
Download: http://www.individual-it.net/Joomla_Software.html
Demo: http://www.individual-it.net/Dropbox-Plugin-Demo-Seite.html
Wiki: http://wiki.getdropbox.com/DropboxAddons/JoomlaPlugin
Demo for the next version (including a gallery option): http://www.individual-it.net/Dropbox-Plugin-Demo-Seite-Preview-next-version.html
Nice. I will try it. Thanks. :)
Version 0.3 is online. Because of changes in the dropbox-site the version 0.2 don't work anymore
I tried the plugin just now and got the following error:
Error: Cannot execute request: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
I inserted my email, password and target directory as directed. The form shows nicely in my article. but doesn't function properly yet.
I would love to get this working.
Any suggestions?
Jason
I found the following post that attempts to address this issue, but don't know how to implement it.
I'm getting the following error: Error: Cannot execute request: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
This means that the certificate of the Certification Authority (CA) that Dropbox uses for their SSL certificates is not installed on your system or PHP/cURL is not configured correctly to find it.
If you ARE the system administrator, try installing the CA certificates bundle to a system-wide location. If you use a package management system, this will ensure that they are kept up to date automatically. On Debian Linux for example, you can install the package ca-certificates.
If you are NOT the system administrator, you can download just the needed certificate and point DropboxUploader to it (before calling the upload() method):
1
$uploader->setCaCertificateFile("path/to/the/certificate.cer");
Can you help?

Hi,
just follow the advice here:
http://jaka.kubje.org/?s=dropbox - Troubleshooting
I've seen that site. The problem is there are no clear instructions about how to implement his suggested solution. At least not for those of us who are not fluent in PHP. Can someone point out where this code snippet needs to be placed within the Joomla Dropbox module code?
And the link to the certificate...is it relative or absolute?
Thanks for your help.
try if the new version works for you:

Hello!
I installed the Dropboxplugin and the ChronoForms module, later I created new form and I placed the code for upload in the box of HTML, until here all good, happens that it appears the form to make upload but in the end upload is not made (yes, I placed my mail and pass in the code:) ). When I place the code to visualize the directory, the page gives the error that can not make the connection... Somebody can give one to help more detailed as to use plugin? Can anyone help give a more detailed how to use the plugin? If even better with screenshots ... (I now started to move in joomla and is the first time that I try to make a page)
Thanks a lot
Hi Marco G.
do you have special character in your password? The plugin just works with A-Za-z0-9 in the password.
Here is a demo: http://www.individual-it.net/Dropbox-Plugin-Demo-Seite.html
Also try the brand new version.
the version 0.5 is online:
http://www.individual-it.net/component/option,com_rokdownloads/Itemid,8/id,31/view,folder/
Changelog:
---------------
0.4 ->0.5
at last the user can download your files
but we still have problems with special character in filenames.
0.3 ->0.4
some small bugfixes
0.2 ->0.3
after a change in the dorpbox-site we need a new version
Tried the latest version 5 but it does not work ..just shows the plugin script on the front end
Also there is an error - author has indicated the following syntax for the show form :
{\dropbox func=upload email= dbmail@mail.de pwd=yourpwd}dir-for-upload{/dropbox}
at the author's download site
http://www.individual-it.net/Joomla_Software.html
but the syntax is : {dropbox func=upload email=dbmail@mail.de pwd=yourpwd}dir-for-upload{/dropbox}
on the Joomla JED site (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/external-contents/widgets-a-documents/8712 )
I assume the synatx with the "\" is missing in the JED site.
Can someone help me to get this plugin to work
did you enable the plugin in the backend?
the correct syntax is: {dropbox func=upload email=dbmail@mail.de pwd=yourpwd}dir-for-upload{/dropbox}
WITHOUT "\" if I would give this syntax on the download site, joomla would show the plugin.
My password does not have special characters and I did the update of the plugin but the result is the same…:(
I made screenshots of all the configurations of Form and one of the web page to facilitate your help. This is link for screenshots:

Thanks
I think we are speaking from two different things.
There are two ways of integrate Dropbox in to Joomla
1. with chronoforms: http://www.bristleconeweb.com/blog/get-dropbox-and-joomla-accept-files-without-email.html
2. direct with a plugin: http://www.individual-it.net/component/option,com_rokdownloads/Itemid,8/id,39/view,file/
I have no experience with #1. I wrote the plugin for way #2.
Witch one do you like to use?
If you want to use the plugin, you don't need chronoforms.
1. Just download the plugin,
2. install it in the backend: Extensions -> Install -> Upload Package File
3. enable it Extensions -> Plugin Manager -> Dropbox -> Enabled: yes -> Save
3. put into a content: {dropbox func=list email=dbmail@mail.de pwd=yourpwd}dir-to-show{/dropbox} or
{dropbox func=upload email=dbmail@mail.de pwd=yourpwd}dir-to-show{/dropbox}
I want to use the #2 way....
I have done like your instructions but in the end I receive this messagem "Error: Cannot execute request: couldn't connect to host"
http://www.getdropbox.com/gallery/1543950/2/Default/Joomla?h=6ccfcb
any solution?
thanks for the support
I think I know what goes wrong .... if I want to display or upload to my Public folder, how I write this part of code? ".. pwd=yourpwd}dir-for-upload{/dropbox}"
just write it in a content your like. but replace dbmail@mail.de with your dropboxemail and yourpwd with your dropbox padwword
I don't now what to do more... :(
My article have this configuration:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1543950/Joomla/article.png
and the web page can't load correctly...
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1543950/Joomla/error.png
and the code for upload don't do the upload after all
sorry to be so boring
try to leave the leading / before Public
I found the problem :D the problem was the permissions in the free host to use cURL
I had tried this ones with no sucess:
byethost.com, freewebhostingarea.com, prtg.eu, zymic.com, 000webhost.com and zzl.org
then i find this one with sucess: free-web-host.me
Thanks for your help!!
Hello, I keep getting this error in my browser. I can install and enable the plugin, but I cannot create an article after this, when I try to save, I get this error. I remove the joomla plugin and I can post articles again. Any ideas?
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /nfs/c04/h03/mnt/65123/domains/ipt.highnet.com/html/plugins/content/dropboxplugin.php on line 26
Thanks

As you might be able to tell, I dont know much about this, however I did work this out to be a php version. I've upgraded my sever and it works :)
Ok - I cleared the php error, but am now on the certificate problem:
Error: Cannot execute request: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
I've compared the certificate in the dropbox folder and it seems to be correct. I've looked at Jakas advice, not really sure what to do with it - it looks like the new version of this plugin contains the required certificate, so how can I clear this error? Any ideas welcome :)
thanks
nicholas
do i need cURL configured for this?
Yes you need cURL, it would not work without, and I never tested it with PHP4 just with PHP5
hello, yes using php5 - you can browse to http://ipt.highnet.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=16 to recreate my error.
Is there any cURL specifics I should quiz my hosting on, or is it just a general enable-it?
many thanks
nicholas
I found out cURL is installed. now what to do?
firevoip.com@n11:~$ curl -V
curl 7.13.2 (i386-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.13.2 OpenSSL/0.9.7e zlib/1.2.2 libidn/0.5.13

Puzzled :-/
Hello, how should I present the "dir-to-show" of this:
{dropbox func=list email=dbmail@mail.de pwd=yourpwd}dir-to-show{/dropbox}
should it be the full dropbox url, like https://www.getdropbox.com/home#/ ??
Thanks Nicholas
no you need just the dirname: test or Public
