Plone Quick Upload

collective.quickupload.browser

• A simple ajax view that can be called by any plone template.

• This view is using a javascript multiple upload tool based on fileuploader.js (a fork with many ameliorations of http://valums.com/ajax-upload/) OR jquery.uploadify.js (based on flashupload, see also collective.uploadify plone product from which some parts of code have been taken)

  • By default the javascript only method is used : the fileuploader.js is a pure ajax file uploader which uses html5 multiple file fields and ajax upload post method. It's not a jquery plugin. For modern browsers like FireFox 3.6+, Chrome, or Safari 4+, it offers drag and drop, multi-selection, and progress bar during upload. For other browsers (IE7, IE8, ...), the script offers a graceful hidden iframe upload fall back.

  • Flashupload (jquery.uploadify) is more user friendly under MSIE, but has some "big" problems :

    • cannot be used behind any kind of http authentication (basic authentication, windowsNT authentication, ...)
    • cannot be used through https
    • not open source

  • the webmaster has the choice between these 2 solutions (see control panel below).

  • the upload form can be viewed only with permission CMF.AddPortalContent on context

  • the upload form can be viewed only for objects providing IQuickUploadCapable, by default ATFolder, ATBTreeFolder and Plone Site are implementing IQuickUploadCapable

  • the quickupload form allows to fill title and description for each uploaded file (see control panel below)

  • the quickupload view log and returns errors to the form (unauthorized, id always exist, type not allowed, etc ... )

  • the view can use some attributes set in session or request:

    -  force mediatype (could be None, image, video, audio, or something like this '*.pdf;*.doc;')
    

    if a mediatype is set in request :

    • with fileuploader.js an error is raised in the form when a file content-type selected is not correct.
    • with Flashupload, only choosed content types are shown in selection window, with a specific message "select images", "select video files" (...).

    • force portal_type

      if portal_type is not set in request, content_type_registry is used to find the good portal_type, otherwise the "File" portal_type will be used.

• a basic Plone Control panel with some options:

  - use flashupload (yes/no), default = no
  
  - fill file's titles in form (yes/no), default = yes
  
  - fill file's descriptions in form (yes/no), default = no
  
  - automatic upload on select (yes/no), default=no
  
  - max size limit for each file in KB (default= 0 = no limit)
  
  - simultaneous uploads limit (default=2, 0 = no limit)
