Upload Button

You can put upload button in two ways:

• First:

                // Add an upload button and view a popup screen large 550 and height 400
                $alt = "Upload";
                $bar=& JToolBar::getInstance("toolbar");
                $bar->appendButton( "Popup", "upload", $alt, "index.php", 550, 400 );

• Second:

                // You view button for popup media manager tools
                JToolBarHelper::media_manager('/');
