Other versions:

FancyUpload - Swiff meets Ajax (v1.0)

Project FancyUpload - Swiff meets Ajax Showcase Swiff meets Ajax for powerful and elegant uploads. FancyUpload is a file-input replacement which features an unobtrusive, multiple-file selection menu and queued upload with an animated progress bar. It is easy to setup, is server independent, completely styleable via CSS and XHTML and uses MooTools to work in all modern browsers.

Showcases:

Showcase “Queued Photo Uploader”

The known example, queued upload for photos.

The Action Happens Here

Select Files

Selected photos will be queued for upload, select all your files and start upload the upload.

Upload Queue
Check the selected files and start uploading.

Get the new FancyUpload 3.0! 3.0 is the current release (more stable, more showcases, more documentation) and it is compatible with 2.0 and 2.1 (Old versions are not maintained anymore!).

What happens?

Check the automated log file after upload. The PHP script does not save the files but logs every request.

JavaScript & MooTools

window.addEvent('load', function() {
	/**
	 * We take the first input with this class we can find ...
	 */
	var input = $('demo-filedata');
 
	/**
	 * Simple and easy
	 *
	 * swf: the path to the swf
	 * container: the object is embedded in this container (default: document.body)
	 *
	 * NOTE: container is only used for the first uploader u create, all others depend
	 * on the same swf in that container, so the container option for the other uploaders
	 * will be ignored.
	 *
	 */
	var upload = new FancyUpload(input, {
		swf:  '/project/fancyupload/1-0/source/Swiff.Uploader.swf',
		queueList: 'demo-queue'
	});
 
	/**
	 * We create the clear-queue link on-demand, since we don't know if the user has flash/javascript.
	 *
	 * You can also create the complete xhtml structure thats needed for the queue here, to be sure
	 * that its only in the document when the user has flash enabled.
	 */
	$('demo-status').adopt(new Element('a', {
		'href': '#',
		'events': {
			'click': (function(e) {
				e.stop();
				upload.clearList(false);
			}).bindWithEvent()
		}
	}).setHTML('Clear Completed'));
 
});

    KM:

    Try this; add the session id to the action attribute in the form, e.g. <form action="myFile.php?PHPSESSID=...">
    In myFile.php try this:


    session_start();
    session_name($_GET[session_name()]);

    ?>

    This will set the old session name from the first file, should work.

    - Adrian</form>

    If you need to use this in ASP.NET, there is a cool implementation in the SharpPieces suite available at http://www.codeplex.com/SharpPieces

    Hi Harald, i've just uploaded my website using fancyupload and i have seen this problem and dont know why its happening:
    when you visit the website without the www., if i initilized the uploader with the url http://website.com /... doesnt work (cant connect and so its allways 0%), but if i initialized it with the url http//:www.website.com/... it works.

    So if i initialize uploader with / without " www. ", users will be able to upload their files when visiting the website with / without " www. " respectively

    thanks for your work !!

    Do you have any version for the asp.net users? (-:
    just the PHP part to replace.

    Just put this in Page_Load:
    foreach (string fileKey in HttpContext.Current.Request.Files)
    {
    HttpPostedFile file = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files[fileKey];
    file.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("/Files/" + fileName));
    }

    Also you need to modify the Javascript to tell the action of the form, since the ID is made up by ASP.NET

    You can access the file like the usual uploaded file, the default field name (option *fieldName*) is "Filedata", u can rename it with that option. I added that question to the FAQ.

    Started playing with the script and all worked off the bat locally just the the supplied example.

    How can I call some of the other functions like "onSelect" or "onCancel"?

    Sorry if it's obvious but I'm not too familiar with Mootools.

    Basically I want to call upload when someone selects a file.

    Cheers

    In the current preview API you have to extend it or edit the class itself (mark edits with your signature so u see what u changed for later updates). Thats you can extend it:

    var myUploader = new Class(

    Extends: FancyUpload2,

    onSelect: function(file, index, length) {
    this.parent(file, index, length); // currently not needed, onSelect just contains a debug log
    $('big-red-alert').highlight();
    }
    });

    Hey Harald,

    Thanks for that, I wasn't familiar with extending classes but after some reading around I got to understand it and was able to successfully extend on the Fancyupload2 functions like the example you supplied.

    Cheers.

    sorry for the comment spam, here's the code for initializing FancyUpload2 w/ a form as additional data:

    FancyUpload2($(‘demo-status’), $(‘demo-list’), {
    ‘url’: $(‘form-demo’).action,
    ‘data’: $(‘upload_ticket’), //will convert the form to query string.
    ‘fieldName’: ‘upload’,
    ‘path’: ‘swiff/Swiff.Uploader.swf’,
    ‘onLoad’: function() {
    $(‘demo-status’).removeClass(‘hide’); $(‘demo-fallback’).destroy();
    }
    });

    i am not great with the javascript, but fairly dangerous with most else. i am working your fancy uploader into my site where it renames and moves the files, when they "Remove" I need to destroy those files and make other changes to data rows. I know it calls a function called "onFileRemove" but I am not sure where it fires off identifying data to and how to fire off php with that click of the "Remove" link. Can you give me some help? Thanks, am intermediate, been working to integrate this for a day now LOL.

    hey. The stop() method doesn't (seem to) work. I've got a "cancel" link that should abort uploads in progress... so I call uploader.stop()

    nothing stops, the thing just keeps on uploading.

    how do I get it to work?

    Great job! I suggest separate the wonderfull class of upload from the layout objects, giving the data separated like file_name, file_size insted of writing it to a element formated and remove references to Fx.ProgressBar from the class, some people would like a simple html progressbar. It can make easy integrate in other systems. and progress can be show in diferent ways. Thanks!!!

    If you use only Swiff.Uploaderyou'll get a vanilla upoader without any layout.
