  • Hi gang,

    I'm really enjoying uploadify.
    I've gotten the basic functionality working. Now I want to modify it a touch, and was hoping to get some input/advise.

    I'm going to be using uploadify as the uploading frontend for an image gallery for our performance troupe.
    I'll be asking the uploader to provide a few things:
    "which of the following keywords apply"
    (checkbox) keyword1 (checkbox) keyword2 (checkbox) keyword3 (checkbox) keyword4
    "what pages would you like this image to display on"
    (checkbox) page1 (checkbox) page2 (checkbox) page3 (checkbox) page4

    and so on.

    I was thinking I could do this via an ajax request for the checkbox options, triggered by the oncomplete handler

    but if I could grab this information on pageload, and submit this information to the upload.php at the same time I upload the image, that'd be ever so slightly preferential.

    I was wondering if anyone had done anything similar yet, and if so, what route they'd gone.. I've seen a couple select options, but nothing which used multiple checkboxes for a single input (since keyword1, 2 and 3 might apply to an image, and you might want that image to display on pages 1 2 and 4)

    appreciate the feedback, and the project. this is really quite cool.
  • You can use fileUploadSettings to update scriptData, the main problem you'll have to overcome is it will send the same scriptData for each file in the queue. Disabling multi or managing the upload queue manually is one way to overcome this.
