[Ver. 1.0-beta2] Ext.ux.UploadForm File Upload Widget

[jsakalos]

I love the way you wrapped the file with a button and changed it`s opacity to 0.

What I don`t understand is how you managed to prevent the user from clicking on the input field outside the button.
When I`m looking at the field with FireBug I can see it extends on the left of the widget but when I try to click it I can`t.

How do you do that?

There is one more invisible element (a mask) that covers this area.

Which one?

I see that you are using mask/unmask on elements but how do you mask a part of an element? Do you just put an element on this area? I don`t see one with FireBug and can`t find it in your code.

Is it possible to change the cursor on the add button to be a pointer?
I couldn`t do it with css.

It's not Ext mask, it's small div that covers that left side. Cursor: maybe yes, it needs to pass mouseover/mouseout events from invisible input to the button. I was too lazy to do it

Hopefully yes but I haven't time now to test it.

I haven't added this as if user has limit (let's say 5) then he can repeatedly upload files in 5-count chunks. If you really want to limit upload count then it's better to limit it at server side. Or you can override createUploadInput method - but you cannot prevent repeated uploads by this.

Hi,

I understand what you're saying.. server validation is always a must. However, it is not enough to create a friendly interface. E.g. if there is a limit of 5 in the server, the user does not expect to be able to pick 6.

Anyway, great job!

Hello,

I'm playing with your extension and the question about flexibility popped up in my mind. I would like to know, whether there is a version planned, which gives a developer more control (e.g. different languages etc).

The next thing is: My application is designed to use Ext, if JS is enabled and it degrades gracefully, if it's not. So I would like to point to an upload form element and have something like a replace behaviour. Is such a feature planned or do I always have to remove the original upload input element?

Bye and thanks for this extension, F.o.G.

Hy,

I've encountered a big Problem with the Ext-SWFUpload widget which took me the whole yesterday, maybe there should be a big warning on the custom-ext page.
Don't try to use it with HTTPS!!! It will fail!
I've searched and searched, and that was the last thought I've got, and now it works.
My Application (a mailclient) runs on a https connection. If you wan't to inmplement the SWF-Upload you should create the widget like:

Ext.ux.SWFUpload.create('swfdiv', {
flashpath: 'http://your/path/to/SWFUpload.swf',
...... 

This way you can run your app over https, and the needed SWFUpload.swf is load over http.

This is a flash "feature" - it thinks about a cross site when called over https.

Damn it !!

Hope I could help somebody with sharing this hint.
