setting scriptData after initialization

jvittetoe

Greetings,

great plugin. I love it to death.

Heres my issue, I am uploading large video files to my server, in that process I would like to capture a title and a description as well. In my form I have 2 text fields and a file field. Here is my js code.

	<script type=\"text/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\">
	$(function(){
		$(\"#_video_file\").uploadify({
			'uploader' : '/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
			'script' : '/uploadify/uploadify.php',
			'cancelImg' : '/uploadify/cancel.png',
			'folder' : '/manager/video-uploads',
			'fileExt' : '*.wmv;*.mov;*.mpg;*.avi;*.jpg',
			'sizeLimit': 50971520,
			'multi' : false,
			'onComplete' : function( ev,qID,fObj,res,data ){
								r = eval('(' + res + ')');
								alert( res.title );
								alert( res );
								alert( r );
								alert( r.title );
								alert( r.description );
			}
		});
		$(\"#doUpload\").click( function(){
			title = ( $(\"#_title\").val() == \"\" ) ? \"\" : $(\"#_title\").val() ;
			description = ( $(\"#_description\").val() == \"\" ) ? \"\" : $(\"#_description\").val() ;
			$(\"#_video_file\").uploadifySettings({
				'scriptData' : { 'title' : title , 'description' : description }
			});
			$(\"#_video_file\").uploadifyUpload();
			return false;
		});
	});
	</script>

Everything works perfect except I am not able to access my scriptData( title, description ) in the uploadify.php. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using $_POST or $_GET to check your scriptData values in uploadify.php? The default behavior changed from $_GET to $_POST with the new release. I don't believe the examples have been updated to reflect this change. You need to reference passed scriptData via $_POST unless you use set the 'method' option to 'GET'.

TravisN.

If your ever unsure if GET or POST is being used, you can always use $_REQUEST instead.

I have tried _POST and _REQUEST but neither are working.

The top of my php:

<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].\"/include/lib.php\";
echo json_encode( $_REQUEST );
die;

i then alert this in the onComplete:

{\"Filename\":\"kobe.jpg\",\"fileext\":\"*.wmv;*.mov;*.mpg;*.avi;*.jpg\",\"folder\":\"\/manager\/video-uploads\",\"Upload\":\"Submit Query\"}

neither my title nor description are appearing. I am rather baffled.

$(\"#_video_file\").uploadifySettings({
            'scriptData' : { 'title' : title , 'description' : description }
         });

is my syntax here correct?

uploadifySettings( { 'scriptData' : { 'title' : title , 'description' : description } } ) ;

I've found the solution

incorrect syntax

uploadifySettings( { 'scriptData' : { 'title' : title , 'description' : description } } ) ;

correct syntax

uploadifySettings( 'scriptData' , { 'title' : title , 'description' : description } ) ;

Howdy, Stranger!
