A week ago, I integrated uploadify with the SLOODLE Presenter and all of the project members were really pleased to see that we now would have the ability to upload multiple PowerPoint jpg's at once! However, during beta tests, I noticed that each file uploads in a random order, therefore mixing up the slide order of our powerpoint presentations. Is this a limitation of uploadify?
I wouldn't think it's a limitation, but rather just the way it does things. Would the images not be named in such a way that sorting on the server end would display in order regardless of the upload order?
Yes, I can do it that way, just was wondering if I was missing an uploadify feature. After each upload is complete my code currently just adds it to the DB, so... in this case, I can first add them to an array, and then on all complete sort the array and add to the db...
Yeah been having some issues with the order. I'm using PHP for this tool looks like $_FILES array the order of the images are jumbled. Is it random? Can anyone comment on how uploadify is posting the files? Or is it part of the swfUploader jumbling things around? It totally threw a wrench into my design especially since it seems to work fine with single or 2-3 file uploads. But when I do a large batch of 5-10 uploads things go to hell. Probably not a problem for most that just use the standard fileMenu. But my uploadify on complete builds an additional sortable using the jquery-ui so users can drag-ndrop the photos to re-order them. Since everything is out of order the table is broken and images don't link correctly.
I'm going to try and implement a csv string of the photo names to pass into the upload to see if I can help the way $_FILES is accessed and used.
just use uploadify v2. Upload orders were fixed in this version
On the uploadify website that solution seems to work, but not with me. I've downloaded the 2.0.3v, but still get an order that is based on the filesize / filename, not on the order how I selected the items.
