moondawgy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The way currently that you have to save a page before then going back and adding it/them to the WYSYWIG (if you want it to appear in the bodycopy for instance and not via a template call) is very time consuming. I think an AJAX routine and then once all images have been uploaded, a DONE button (which commits the files to the system) would be better I think.

ryan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I agree, and the system is designed for it, just haven't implemented yet. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeisa Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 http://aquantum-demo.appspot.com/file-upload This might be worth trying? Just played with demo, that worked nicely. Slow connection + big files = progress bar needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kiss Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 @apeisa: That's actually one of the worse ajax upload plugins I've seen. The problem with this is, that there are many solutions which solve only part of a problem – multiple files selection, background upload, etc. While I agree, that some AJAX file editor is needed, I also think this should not be rushed and the one selected should be carefully selected [just because it may be crucial for page/image fields – and they are very important part of field family for users/templates/repeatables (in future)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I understand your comment right, but doesn't this support multiple files selection & background upload? Also, it also has graceful fallback, so it works for legacy browsers also. Of course since this isn't flash/java based it means that to get all the bells and whistles users would need to have a good browser. Or is that the problem? Should it be all-or-nothing solution, so we can count that it works same way in all browsers? What is desired browser support level for current pw admin btw?

ryan Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 PW2 admin browser support is currently built around recent Webkit and Mozilla browsers (Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 7+, Safari 4+). IE8+ also works just fine, though not running on a PC I haven't spent as much time in that browser... though I consider supporting it always of major importance. I believe the only place where IE8 is a little strange right now is in the TinyMCE image editing functions. It works, but there's some strange overlay issues getting confuse between the windows. Opera support is also on the to-do list. I like the idea of these file upload widgets, and the one you posted seemed to work well when I tested it. I'm particularly interested in an HTML5 widget option where one could drag files into it. But I think the best solution will be to make these options something that the user can select what upload widget they want. For instance, they can use the basic HTML one, or they can choose an alternate via a plugin module, kind of like how they can select "TinyMCE" (and likely others, in the future) with the Textarea fieldtype.

krisj Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 i would highly recommend http://www.plupload.com/ - actively developed, fresh, using several runtimes for fallback including html5, api, etc. made by tinymce devs. check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 This looks like a nice upload script, I will experiment with this more. Anyone had good experiences with any others like this? In particular jquery-based solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kiss Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Two or three years ago, while making highly customized Quote system for one art gallery, I used Uploadify. I think it was fairly easy to set it up, so I checked it – and it's still online, still in development, still looking quite good. What I most liked about it was that every message, every output was pure HTML, so it was easily customized in terms design (back then, almost every ajax uploader was flash ) http://www.uploadify.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Looks like another good one. I will be taking a closer look at this too--thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
