   I'm working on a plugin to allow a user to post an attachment to their own page(s) in the front it. Everything is working, but I want to also allow the form to have a "Title" field and store that in the DB. I have the field to fill in, but not exactly sure how to save the attachment Title.

   I hope that makes since. Here is the code and the form:

   echo '<form name="s8-wpfs-form" id="s8-wpfs-form" method="POST" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">';
   echo '<label for="title">Title</label>';
   echo '<input type="text" name="title" id="title">';
   echo '<label for="uploaded_attachment">Attachment</label>';
   echo '<input type="file" name="uploaded_attachment">';
   echo '<input type="submit" value="Upload" id="submit" name="submit" />';
   wp_nonce_field('client-file-upload', 'client-file-upload');
   echo '</form>';

   Here is the code that works and uploads the file, but does not store the Title of the attachment:
   

   function insert_attachment($file_handler,$post_id,$setthumb='false') {
   	// check to make sure its a successful upload
   	if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();
   
   	require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');
   	require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');
   	require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');
   
   	$attach_id = media_handle_upload($file_handler, $post_id);
   
   	if ($setthumb) update_post_meta($post_id,'_thumbnail_id',$attach_id);
   
   	return $attach_id;
   }

   Any direction would help.

   Ok. I have it figured out.

   'function insert_attachment($file_handler,$post_id,$setthumb='false') {
   // check to make sure its a successful upload
   if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();

   require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');
   require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');
   require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');

   $attach_id = media_handle_upload($file_handler, $post_id);

   wp_update_post( array(
   'ID' => $attach_id,
   'post_title' => $_POST['title'],
   'post_content' => $_POST['description'] )
   );

   return $attach_id;
   }'

   And the HTML form:
   ' echo '<form method="POST" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">';
   echo '<fieldset>';
   echo '<legend>Upload a File</legend>';
   echo '<label for="title">Title</label>';
   echo '<input type="text" name="title" id="title">';
   echo '
   ';
   echo '<label for="title">Description</label>';
   echo '<textarea name="description" id="description"></textarea>';
   echo '
   ';
   echo '<label for="uploaded_attachment">Attachment</label>';
   echo '<input type="file" name="uploaded_attachment" id="uploaded_attachment">';
   echo '
   ';
   echo '<input type="submit" value="Upload" id="submit" name="submit" />';
   echo '</fieldset>';
   wp_nonce_field('client-file-upload', 'client-file-upload');
   echo '</form>';
   '

   I am also putting this stuff in a plugin called "WP Client File Share". should be up soon.

   I hope this helps someone.

   Great plugin.

   im looking for something similiar
   but where a user can post from front end as admin or regular user. in a tinymce editor and also upload documents and image and videos.

   do you have any idea regarding this or if its possible at all ?

   Hi
   that is a great link. have check taht and it would be good if they have it for post posting. thus user can add post to the blog for such "private" site .

   . however its seams hard to find a solution/tutorial/files for a site template that lets user post with tinymce editor and upload file/documents/image without ever needed to go to backend, and also attach it all to a post that can be displayed.
