    Hi Black - I have the plugin installed correctly. I can see the files listed, but when I click on one of the files and try to download, I get an "Invalid task" message.

    Do you have any ideas what may be the problem?

    Alright, so I figured out why I was getting the "invalid task" message. It was because the SEO settings (Global configuration) is set to Yes (turned on). However, how do I get around this issue? I want to use search engine friendly urls.

    Anyone?...

    Hello together.

    I have two problems:

    1. I can't see my dropbox-content because:
    Error: Cannot execute request: failed creating formpost data

    2. I can't load up anything because:
    Error: Cannot create temporary directory!

    Thx for help!

    Hi Marcel F.

    A new version is online:
    http://www.individual-it.net/component/option,com_rokdownloads/Itemid,8/id,31/view,folder/

    it works with the new version of dropbox. And you can set in the plugin parameter whether you like to use the local SSL cert or not.

    Hi,

    I downloaded this plugin and Installed it on my test environment. After creating a Content Item with the given plugin Params as discribed I get this error Message:
    'Notice: Undefined index: sub_dir in /home/xxxx/public_html/testit/plugins/content/dropboxplugin.php on line 215

    Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home/xxxx/public_html/testit/plugins/content/dropboxplugin/DropboxConnection.php on line 103

    Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home/xxxx/public_html/testit/plugins/content/dropboxplugin/DropboxConnection.php on line 103

    Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home/xxxx/public_html/testit/plugins/content/dropboxplugin/DropboxConnection.php on line 136

    Notice: Undefined variable: uri in /home/xxxx/public_html/testit/plugins/content/dropboxplugin.php on line 258

    Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/xxxx/public_html/testit/plugins/content/dropboxplugin.php on line 258'

    Actually it seems to work: I get the file displayed und I also can upload, but I cant get rid of the error Message above...

    Any hints are very appreciated.

    Thanks

    Pete

    You need Joomla 1.5 with PHP 5 and Curl must be installed on the system

    use the email, not the name.
    make sure the directory exist in your dropbox and there are no special character in the dropbox-name

    Hmm, no realy idea what the problem could be.
    try to install this software on your server: http://www.individual-it.net/component/option,com_rokdownloads/Itemid,8/id,13/view,file/

    and tell me if it works

    It's not a Joomla-Plugin, just PHP

    So its just about the notice. The problem are some not very good programming parts. The Notice are not really errors and most Servers don't show them.
    Try to put this in line 14 of dropboxplugin.php

    error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

    Thanks Black B.

    That worked... :) the Messages are gone...

    You mind if I ask another question right on?

    On site witch I manage on my own, there is none who editing content at all, but on Sites where I have Publishers and Editors, they, If they edit the Content, can all see my dropbox credentials, are there any plans to move the dropbox Logins to the plugin parameters?

    Cheers and Thanks for your help..

    Nice to hear, that you like it. Do not forget to vote for it ;-)

    Till now I hadn't any plans to move the Logins to the plugin parameters, but it is a nice idea. It is in the content, for that you can have mare than one dropbox in your joomla.
    You could have a standard Login in the parameters and if you like you can overrides the standard parameters with the parameters in the content.
    Then you could have both, hidden Logins but also the possibility for several dropboxes.

    My main problem is the lack of time. I have to work for money and so I have just little time for doing non-paid jobs. Do you have any possibility to support me?

    Black,
    Do you have an old copy of the plugin, one where the email and password can be specified on the page/article? I will like to specify different Dropbox accounts depending on the page loaded and if the email and password is set in the plugin page the email and pass will be global to all pages in the site.

    it should still work to put the email and passwort into the articte. Just leave the fields in the parameters empty and use the plugin as before: {dropbox func=list email=dbmail@mail.de pwd=pwd}dir{/dropbox}
    it should work, if not its a bad bug

    Black, thanks for you reply. When I do it the way you just described nothing comes up (error messages or files from the account). I did notice there is an additional blank space where the directories shoud appear. Now, this only happens when I add {dropbox func=list email=dbmail@mail.de pwd=pwd}dir{/dropbox} in the article. If I configure it from the plugin page, everything works great. Again, thanks for all of your help.
    BTW - Here is the relevant portion of the code rendered by the article when I add {dropbox func=list email=dbmail@mail.de pwd=pwd}dir{/dropbox}:
    ...
    <table class="contentpaneopen">
    <tr>
    <td valign="top">
    <span class="small">
    Written by Administrator </span>
      
    </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
    <td valign="top" class="createdate">
    Sunday, 29 November 2009 14:37 </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
    <td valign="top">
    <p>

    </p>

    </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
    <td class="modifydate">
    Last Updated on Tuesday, 01 December 2009 15:11 </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    ...

    Hi Juan R.,
    I just tested it. And for me it works. The error you describe happens here just when I put in a wrong password or email. Please do not use special characters in the password just a-z A-Z 0-9

    Can you please report your Joomla and PHP version

    HELLo!

    Now that is a serious security concern, Black. I haven't looked at the plugin, but is this a limitation of Joomla, or just your plugin? If it is the latter, I recommend using "rawurlencode ()" on the parametres when adding them to the cURL-data. (I assume you're using cURL, but the recommendation still holds even if you're not.)

    Happy syncin'!

    for the login I use the Dropbox Uploader from Jaka J:
    http://jaka.kubje.org/?s=dropbox
    http://wiki.dropbox.com/DropboxAddons/PHPDropboxUploader

    But thank you for the tip. I will think about it for the next release.

    P.S. I got a Swedish translation, it will also go into the next release.

    Black, thanks again for all of your help. The version of joomla I am using is Version 1.5.15. Also I am not using special characters. Here is what I get: http://joomla.servebeer.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=55
