LG SAEF File Upload.... Throwing my hat into the ring

Oh and what version of PHP are you guys using?

Ok guys… I have just uploaded the latest version I have been using on my site. Try that one out and let me know how you go…

latest is giving me various output like this at top of every page on site:

Array
(
    [hidden_fields] => Array
        (
            [ACT] => {AID:Weblog:insert_new_entry}
            [RET] => http://localhost/index.php/daily_photo/upload/
            [PRV] => {PREVIEW_TEMPLATE}
            [URI] => /daily_photo/upload/
            [XID] => 
            [return_url] => daily_photo/index
            [author_id] => 1
            [weblog_id] => 7
            [field_ft_6] => none
            [field_ft_7] => none
            [site_id] => 1
        )

    [action] => http://localhost/index.php/daily_photo/upload/
    [id] => entryform
    [secure] => 1
    [enctype] => 
    [onsubmit] => 
)

Array
(
    [hidden_fields] => Array
        (
            [ACT] => {AID:Search:do_search}
            [XID] => 
            [RP] => search/results
            [NRP] => 
            [RES] => 
            [status] => 
            [weblog] => 
            [search_in] => everywhere
            [where] => all
            [site_id] => 1
        )

    [action] => 
    [id] => 
    [secure] => 1
    [enctype] => 
    [onsubmit] => 
)

using php 5.2.1 and still not adding the upload directory tag also. 😉 browsing directly to the lang file provides a blank page.

Php 4.4.7

Still have the same issue after enabling and logging out: blank screen.

Also a blank screen navigating to that lang file.

Great extension.. Been waiting for something simple and easy. If you can somehow get this to work with an Standalone “Edit” Form, I’ll be the first ton chime in on this one. Seriously, I’ve been dwelling at all the options, until I spotted this post by surprise.

Really hope this gets developed into something nice and solid.

Would there be any way to add a progress bar (eg swfupload, fancyupload), or animated uploading gif for larger files?

Would there be any way to store files in sub directories based on user ID? I am thinking for community based sites where lots of members will be uploading content, giving each member their own sub directory would make things much neater.

Same 😊

This isn’t really in the scope of this extension. I basically want to provide a very simple easy way to upload files using native web browser controls. Anything else like loading indicators / swf uploader will add lots of extra complexity.

Hmm maybe… but probably not. At the moment the extension obeys the file upload prefs you set in the admin. Actually thinking on the fly maybe I could add this in as an option…

lg_file_upload_sub_folder = '{member_id}'

That would work ok I guess. 😊

Ok guys… I just uploaded the extension with edit functionality… go grab it!

Note: This extension is still being developed and tested… there may be bugs.

My problem solved with the new version and PM, thanks for the support Leevi, it’s appreciated.

You can add a “loading” gif easily enough. Here’s something to get you going. Just upload the gif and make sure the path is the same:

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="document.getElementById('UploadProgress').style.display=''; form.submit(); return false;" />/assets/loading.gif

Works, but any of you javascript guys correct me if it’s not right.

You shouldn’t need the

form.submit(); return false;

as the submit button will still submit the form after showing the throbber

The latest version supports editing (but not deleteing) a file.

So far this is perfect. I was getting a blank screen again when I went to the “member/login” page, but I got around that by making my own “index/login” page, which I was meaning to do anyway. Very simple. I’ll keep trying to break it. 😉

hmmm the blank screen thing is a bit of a worry… I’m not sure what would be causing it other than some broken php… I tried to break it but couldn’t… Are you using Solspaces user module?
