Image Uploading

[patricktt]

jumploader.com doesn't look too bad...

any java developers in Perth?

From memory, Facebook requires you to download a browser component prior to uploading photos. This is in-effect a client-side application which you have trusted.

Using this logic, you could develop an ActiveX control or Java Applet which resizes the images client-side prior to uploading, massively reducing upload time.

I'm not sure if this is what Facebook does, but I don't see why it couldn't be done this way.

Some already out there:

I did wonder that actually, if it resized it client side before uploading.. A great idea, will check out the links posted above. Thinfile looks pretty good...

Did you get anywhere with this?

[patricktt]

Not yet... will do in the next 2 weeks though...

image uploader express or whatever it is called... v7. looks awesome, but man im having trouble putting it into cake has to be an error somewhere, but i'm struggling to debug this baby!

ok so over 12 hours trying to get this integrated into CakePHP... so close but just not there.

What I can do... I have it so that the uploader shows, it uses Java to resize the images selected and then uploads them at the speed of light and lumps them into a folder.

What I can't do... I need to go through each uploaded image and move the relevant resized copy (large/small) to where it needs to be, as well as update the database with the filename.

The documentation tells me I can do this, but because the upload is happening in the controller method, im not sure the callback is working properly - at least, nothing seems to happen with it, it just redirects to where it should on completion.

The code I am using to try and run the callback is:

$handler = new UploadHandler();
			$handler->setFileUploadedCallback("saveUploadedFile");
			$handler->setAllFilesUploadedCallback("saveAllUploadedFiles");
			$handler->processRequest();

Any light that can be shed would be great - totally run out of ideas.
