Enter Joomla Admisitration for your site and head over to Extensions/Module Manager. Chose to create a new Module and select "Simple File Upload" (SFU) from the list. In the next screen give a new name for this instance of SFU (if used previously). In the textbox for "position" type in a name (do not chose from the list), e.g. "SFU".
If there is no option for SFU from the "new list", make a copy from the Modules list instead.
Head over to Articles and create a new or open an existing article and enter the following text anywhere in the text:
{ loadposition position }
"position" above is the position you gave it previously. This will show the content of the SFU module in any article. Also note there are added spaces to be able to view the text above, the space after and before the curly brackets should NOT be included when you add the module in your article
(Not working? Make sure the plugin "Content - Load Module" is installed and enabled in Joomla Admistration)
Here is a sample of how it looks:

Under Projects Alpha/Beta you will now find the latest version I am working on which will be version 1.0 as I now feel it is getting "serious" enough to call a version one.
Please give it a go and let me know if you can get it working!

I have added a demo Simple File Upload (SFU) module under the Projects section so you can see it in "action" before deciding on if you like it or not.
Please feel free to test it but bare in mind that it is limited to text documents (.txt) only and a maximum size of 100 bytes.
To create a test document just fire up Notepad (on Windows) or GEdit, vi or your favorite editor and type a few words and save. Then chose that file to upload. SFU will tell you if the file is too big or not of the correct type.
The alert is not included in the GA release, only on this Demo instance.
Let me know how it turns out, ok?

Well, what can I say really about the site...
I am a tech geek working in the world of integration, mostly B2B (Business to business), and wanted a place to collect my belongings.
I live in Stockholm, Sweden and work at a rather small (but specialized) consultant company called Enfo Zystems. We work mainly with IBM WebSphere integration suit products like Application Server (WAS), Partner Gateway (WPG), Message Broker (WMB), Transformation Extender (WTX), MQ and so on...
The site is based on Joomla CMS which is a superb system that allows you to setup a site in only a few days, except if you like me suffer from stuff to write about... ;)
The best (or maybe the second best) thing with Joomla is that it is free (Open Source) and there are tons of superb extensions from contributors in all different kinds of areas.
I myself have developed a small extension called Simple File Upload (SFU) that easily allows you to add a module from where a user can upload files to the server. I developed a site where we needed to allow users to upload images for articles but I got tired of FTP-ing them myself so I wanted the users to be able to upload the images themselves.
Take care, and keep sharing!

Hi,
the time has come to scrap my old hog built in ASP sometime in the mid nineties. With a heavy heart I deleted it from the server and gave place for a brand new Joomla site instead.
I will continue working on my projects and you will find them under the Projects menu to the left. Please feel free to grab whatever you want that is accessible from the site.
I hope you will find some useful stuff and don't hesitate to let me know what you think and/or give a thanks in case you grab something.
//Anders
