This 'Uber uploader' looks nice, it's actually quite similar to what I had in mind. I'll look around for alternatives too, I'm sure there are even better upload scripts available under BSD licence (or compatible licenses, such as the MPL).

Actually Uber Uplaoder sucks imo, I tried to use it for lombi once but if I remebe rright thats the one that uses perl to do it.

http://digitarald.de/project/fancyupload/

I've used version 2.0 Integrated it into medialibrary for Lombi, its much nicer, and doesn't require perl.

The only thing that stinks is it uses MooTools, but it can be integrated...There was another one, I will have to find link for I think it might have used Jquery

After a bit more searching, I found this for jquery.

http://www.uploadify.com/

Its truthfully looks alot like the 1.0/2.0 of Fancy Upload

ive actually used all of them in medialibrary2.

I settled on http://swfupload.org/
for reasons being it was the most editable and therefor the most skinnable and still provided everything.

I made my own handles and i dont "do js" and i have properly intergrated it into cotonti. It will upload and logs in correctly through cotonti.

i had a look at fancy upload, it was ncie and similar but it wasnt as editable for me.

however all in medlib2 at least are easily implamented. Following the logic im using for logging in and through cotonti. Given that flash based uploaders do not naturally work.

http://www.uploadify.com/ was the same, just didnt feel editable or skinnable, which is why i left it, Because people might want to add more to it. Swfupload was better for that. With someone who can skin swfupload would be looking nice. (my skin skins for it atm).

As far as I can tell swfupload and uploadify are very similar, considering they both use a combination of javascript and flash. I think I'd go with uploadify, as it's a jQuery plugin and jQuery is already included in Cotonti. But before I can make a definitive choice I'd have to try them both.

they are indeed similar. uploadify for me, although v.nice. It just didnt degrade or provide enough moddability for my needs.

I use uber-uploader, and also jqUploader but the problem is that the auth information (cookie) is not sent along with the uploaded file. Do you guys have a solution for this "slight" problem?

Also, what do you think about this Alternative PHP Cache(APC) - Upload progress ?
Perl - the only language that looks the same before and after RSA encryption.

To auth properly. You have to keep up to date with cotonti as its quite dynamic sinc 04. The solution is to post the sessions yourself. Then keep up to date. I can post code or show you or you can wait for the medlib beta. Wont be long, had alot on my plate last week , hope to get alot done monday.

Basically, i turn all the cookies, sessions into a string. Then post them along with the sourcekey seperate as x. I then rebuild them. Then it will login properly. However once ive done the file transition. I then do this again, otherwise it will log you out after a minute.

because of the bug msot uploaders with flash will give some sort of abilities to post and get. Now i have it properly logging in, i didnt yet try slimming the feedbacks and sessions adn cookies down. As sourcekey is transferd within and i probably wont need all the sessions and cookies.

Testing revealed that physical folders will not work with php safe mode turned on (neither does the current userid folder storage mode). I will use the folder storage mode option to enable/disable physical folders to allow usage on servers with safe mode enabled. This should also suit those who prefer to use the flat folder structure.

Is it possible to make it so that a user can select multiple images in the PFS popup "My Files" and insert them into forum?

Now you have to insert 1 and 1 image at a time.

Maybe add checkboxes or something?

I'm sure it can be done, but my focus is on the core functionality of the PFS, not the popup/standalone version of it.

I'm implementing Uploadify in the new PFS system.

i still think it just looks nice on the site but is less powerfull and less skinnable than the others. imo. People are too swayed easily by nice flashy skins. Does look nice tho.

Main reason for choosing Uploadify is because it uploads multiple files at once, instead of one by one.

right? They all work exactly the same. by flash fire refrance. it's all one by one. uploadify is the same. It uploads a file and your php script handles it. Then it goes to the next one. THe flash provides the multi select files dialog. Otherwise there would be no need for flash. Then flash uploads with its referancwe controlled via javascript.

They all upload one by one...you just make total or file by file progress bar or both.
