Hello to all.

 

I just downloaded PHPFileUploader and would like to know if there is an option to dynamically delete a file after it's uploaded but before the whole form is submitted. In other words I'd like to show a X image next to each uploaded file, so that when clicked it will remove the respective file.

 

Also, I'm reading in the include_phpuploader.php the following (and other similar ones):

 

 

So what am I supposed to put in there in order to customize the Browser to let's say a simple image?

 

Oh, and one final question, I will be using this script to upload files of the following file types: .dox .xls .txt .pdf

So, ideally, I'd like to change the default paperclip icon on the left of each uploaded file so that it shows an icon according to the uploaded file. For example an PDF icon for .pdf, an XLS ion for .xls etc... Is that possible?

 

Thanks in advance for your replies.

For the first question, please check the following example. It should meet your requirement.

 

For the second question, please try the following code:

 

Thank you so very much for your reply.

 

Actually, I've figured out most of my needs till now, I even found a way to achieve the hardest thing I needed (an appropriate icon next to the file uploaded).

 

It's a single replacement in uploader.js, however as it involved some RE to figure it out, I'm not quite sure if I'm allowed to post it in here to help others, or keep it for myself...

 

Anyway, the final result of my "hack" looks like this:

 

 

Hi,

 

Uploader provide client side event to let developers replace the queue table.

 

So you need not modify the uploader.js

 

Here is the document for ASP.NET version.

 

 

The client API is same for PHP,

 

so you can do this way :

 

<script>

function CuteWebUI_AjaxUploader_OnQueueUI(list)

{

    var uploader=this;

    //draw your own table using the list data.

    return false;

}

</script>

WOW

 

This is more difficult than I thought. I have followed the ajax-attachments.php example, however the custom table of uploaded files is not displayed. I figured that the problem was that I had declared the upload folder in the initialization of the script using $uploader->SaveDirectory = "myfolder";

 

Then, I commented this statement, and the table appeared, but then the files where not moved of course to that folder, so I had to do it manually in the ajax-attachments-handler.php, where it says So under those comments I typed

Hi,

 

Once you use SaveDirectory or MoveTo to move the file , the GetUploadedFile will return null

 

and you need maintain the list by yourself.

 

You can maintain it by add the file information to session of database.

Hi.

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

Another question, is it possible to customize the button of the manual start upload? Choose an image to perform that for example... Or does it have to be a classic button?

Dear PrinceofAbyss,

 

Please refer to http://phpfileuploader.com/demo/form-customui.php & http://phpfileuploader.com/demo/form-manualstart.php

These two examples source code can be found in download package.

Hello Eric,

 

I read that, and managed to get a layout similar to what I need. There is still one (hopefully) last issue though.

 

If you choose only one single file to upload, and hit the upload button, the queue table disappears completely during the upload,  and appears again when the upload finishes, showing the the green checkmark icon (uploadok.png).

 

Now, if you choose another file (or if you choose two files at once in the beginning), the queue table does not disappear, but rather shows the progress rotating icon (uploading.gif) for the file being currently uploaded, and the remove icon for the rest of the files below.

 

Can I change that behavior so that the queue table does not disappear even with a single file in the queue during uploading?

 

Regards,

Petros.

After 3-4 hours of studying the uploader.js I found the NumFilesShowQueueUI property which, if set, gives me exactly the functionality I asked about in my previous post.

 

The funny thing is that this property is NOT documented anywhere, nor is it part of any example... It isn't even programmed to receive any value in the include_phpuploader.php with let's say the following code:

 I wonder why is that so, and how is somebody supposed to know about this property...

PrinceOfAbyss:

One very simple and quick question. When I upload some files, and I haven't set from the beginning the $uploader->SaveDirectory property, nor have I used after the upload the $mvcfile->MoveTo method to move them to a desired location, WHERE do the files go?
