Thank you Chad, this was very helpful. If others want to do the same just look at the method is initializeFromUpload() within includes/specials/SpecialUpload.php. Make sure all of those variables get set correctly before running processUpload().

Yes, you need to set mFileSize (not mUploadSize, there's no such thing) and mSrcName (not sure what to, offhand...). I'd suggest taking a look at internalProcessUpload() and its various return states for more info. > Is there another way to automatically upload a file within an extension?

Hopefully the new-upload branch will make this sort of thing easier and less prone to error. > Is there documentation on this? > Not really :\ -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
