Ebl_batchupload

TheEric · 2007-11-16 18:04:50

Ok. It’s almost done. All revisions are revised, all code cleaned up, bugs killed, etc etc. Version 2 should be released soon (for $9.99 per domain)

Sorry it’s been taking so long, but between classes and a looming graduation date, I’ve been working on this whenever I have a free chance. (For example, I’m in class currently ignoring a Professor’s lecture over a subject which I’ve heard a thousand times before.)

Lesson’s learned? I hate mod_security. It annoys me, greatly. What I am looking for is a server outside my sandbox that uses mod_security (the cause of that annoying 412/406 error) where I can update/replace files during the testing duration. There’s a free version in it for you! :)

Version 2.5 should be released sometime in June and should remove the flash UI and replace it with a Javascript/HTML front-end. This version will also allow non-image uploads, and may possible restrict file types to user levels.

TheEric · 2007-11-29 13:22:30

It is completed.

Localization works fully with an attached xml file that can be edited to fit various languages
406 error has been squashed (with an htaccess trick that doesn’t disable mod_security for everything, only the flash file)
IE/EOLAS Bug should be squashed. With some more testing and documentation writing, I should be releasing this shortly after finals (two weeks)

Version 3 has an ETA around March of 2008 (html / javascript interface, flash “backend” embedded into dB (2k), allows more than just image uploads)

Hi Eric. Good news! Will you be mailing out the latest version of the plugin to those who subscribed? Looking forward to this…

TheEric · 2007-11-29 21:04:21

Well, I won’t be releasing it in a ‘Free’ sense. It is now a commercial plugin. To those whom have already paid, and those original subscribers, they are entitled to the free upgrades.

Otherwise, it’s a $9.99 plugin.

jstubbs · 2007-11-29 21:33:45

Thanks Eric. I am an original subscriber. Could not use it on the old TextDrive servers. After moving to the new Open Solaris servers, am hoping it works. Looking forward to the release! Good luck with your finals.

TheEric · 2007-11-30 01:22:39

Oh! Excellent. Yes then, you will be getting the file shortly then.

Hi Eric, thanks! Also an original subscriber on textdrive like jstubbs I’m looking forward using a shiny new batchupload on my shiny new Open Solaris servers :-)

Eric, question about the plugin. I am an original subscriber and I have around 5 sites. Presumably I can use the plugin on all of my sites? And – can we expect to see the latest version before Christmas?

TheEric · 2007-12-15 23:27:53

@jstubbs – original subscribers can use the plugin on as many sites as they administer / and or / develop for. There is a strong possibility of releasing it before christmas. It is done, but I’ve been debating changing the flat xml language / default settings file to a UI screen that can be edited directly from t he txp_prefs screen. What I most probably will do is release my current version first, followed a couple days later by a plugin update.

My latest project has has been sapping some of my time is a image-administration replacement that uses a flash UI for image functions (resize, crop, rotate, desaturate, watermark, built-in ebl_batchupload)

jstubbs · 2007-12-16 08:33:20

Great Eric. I have two sites going out of the door by Christmas and ebl_batchupload would complete them – both sites require a lot of images.

Your second project is VERY interesting. Any timeline on that?

Happy New Year, Eric!

I was just wondering how ebl_batchupload is coming on. I had been using an early 1.04 release without problems until recently. Now I get similar errors as others in this thread.

Cheers Martin

Well … I was, I thought, finished. There has popped in a bug that I hadn’t encountered until I went to test it one last time, and have been unable to fix or figure out.

The older version is available for purchase, but the newer version is still, delayed. argh Original subscribers, shoot me an email with the domain of the url that you want to implement the older version to, and I’ll email it to you.

Since the holidays are over, it shouldn’t be to much longer until I figure out what the current bug is, and fix it.
