K2 Upload Hack

if you really like to add this feature (like i did)

open file: /administrator/ components/ com_k2/ controllers/ media.php

search for: (around line 71)

 // Read only access for front-end. Full access for administration section.
 switch($attr)
 {
 case 'read' :
 return true;
 break;
 case 'write' :
 return ($mainframe->isSite()) ? false : true;
 break;
 case 'locked' :
 return ($mainframe->isSite()) ? true : false;
 break;
 case 'hidden' :
 return false;
 break;
 }
 
 }
 
 if ($mainframe->isAdmin())
 {
 $permissions = array(
 'read' => true,
 'write' => true
 );
 }
 else
 {
 $permissions = array(
 'read' => true,
 'write' => false
 );

Change to:

 // Read only access for front-end. Full access for administration section.
 switch($attr)
 {
 case 'read' :
 return true;
 break;
 case 'write' :
 return ($mainframe->isSite()) ? true : true;
 break;
 case 'locked' :
 return ($mainframe->isSite()) ? true : true;
 break;
 case 'hidden' :
 return false;
 break;
 }
 
 }
 
 if ($mainframe->isAdmin())
 {
 $permissions = array(
 'read' => true,
 'write' => true
 );
 }
 else
 {
 $permissions = array(
 'read' => true,
 'write' => true
 );
