Drag and drop images

J

Chevereto Member
Hello there. I am trying to add "drag and drop" to my site so you can just drag the picture you want into the site to upload it insted of selecting images by using the select images button.

First off: I have managed to get the box you should drop the images into to cover the whole site, but the site can not be used as the box is covering the whole site.

This is how the css example I am using looks like:
Code: 
    opacity:    0;
    background: #000;
    width:      100%;
    height:    100%;
    z-index:    10;
    top:        0;
    left:      0;
    position:  fixed;

It is the "position: fixed;" that makes the site untouchable, but what else can I use to make the box cover the whole site and made the site touchable?

Secound: So far the images you drag into the box does not get uploaded but just selected. I need to edit the javascript for the drag and drop plugin in order to make it upload the images you select. In what file is the upload function of chevereto?

Thanks for all help I get.

I did some test like 2 months ago to create an html 5 drag and drop, and I can confirm, using Uploadify this is almost impossible... It would need a full recoding of the uploadify code which I'm not ready to do.

If you can't do it then I doubt I will manage to do it. Ill wait for 3.0.
 
I think that the way of doing this is mimic how uploadify add a file to the queue, problem is that uploadify uses flash for that.

Which cost atleast an hundred bucks for a developer licence, I'm not sure Rodolfo is ready to pay for something he can create himself.

600 licenses sold, he raised the price of chevereto... I kinda see this as an investment in the project to replace the shitty flash button.

But yeah, if he can create it himself its fine aswell, aslong as we get rid of flash.

You can be sure that this is in is priority, the problems with HTML 5 uploaders, is that you limit your client base to people with modern browser. (IE 10+ FireFox 4+ Safari 5.X +, Chrome, Opera 10+)

And you can see here : http://caniuse.com/#feat=forms IE 9 doesn't even support these features...

and you can check theses website to see that still a lot of people use them :

http://www.ie6countdown.com/
http://www.ie7countdown.com/
http://www.ie8countdown.com/
http://www.ie9countdown.com/

Limiting your client base to only people with modern browser is really NOT a good idea.

I kinda agree with your statements, but in the end, we are the ones running the websites. We should be the ones to choose if we only allow modern browsers with html5 or older browsers with flash.

Yes but, when you create a PHP like Chevereto, you need to be sure that every users of the script buyers will be able to access the upload features, otherwise, you won't get features request, but angry clients telling Rodolfo your script doesn't works for X and X persons, refund me...
 
Uploadify is a good script but not enough for what we want in the future, simple as that. That's why I'm going to make a Chevereto ajax uploader 100% js and HTML 5. And for older browsers people will use que old files method or something like that. But making a new uploader takes some time.

Indeed, and insted of using others script, it will be way more proffesional to use a self coded script or what? Altso i dislike flash.

Offtopic: When are you changing the default font on the forum? XD

Sorry to bump this.

But the HTML5 version of Uploadify supports Drag and Drop, would it be possible to get that on Chevereto (or simply buy it and then incorporate it?)
 
Hmm, well I love the idea of having a "drag and drop", making it much more simple.

How would I go about doing this, if I buy it tomorrow I'll add it to the site but I'm not sure how.

Yeah I will. If I can get it working, I'll post a complete tutorial on how to configure it and add it to the theme.

And that's "IF" I can get it to work, as I'm not entirely sure how uploadify is coded in (but shouldn't be too hard to find out), and if it works with AUS.
 
Just bought Uploadfive (html5 version of uploadify) and I have no clue how to use it in chevereto, as I need to be careful with AUS and that.


I might need some help on this...
