Hi Guys,

for my first plugin I tried to alter Dirk Steins fpx_image_import to use it for Batch Uploading.

I know there already is a plugin for Batch Uploading, but I was not willing to pay for it, although it would guarantee me a high quality plugin.

So, here it is. As I don´t have time to maintain the plugin for a month or two, I thought I would first post it here.

jbx_multiple_image_upload v0.4 (Zip)
Req. Textpattern 4.0.7+

What do you think? I know I´m not an Expert. So please feel free to help me.

Greetings,
Jonasp.

Hi Jonas,

very interested in this – thanks for the work so far.

I’ve installed and activated it, but can’t see it under my Extensions tab.

Are there any Txp/php version restrictions on its use?

Added: I am using fpx_image_import successfully incidentally, but deactivating it doesn’t help.

I tried installing this plugin but get the following error after activating

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare fpx_prepare_prefs() (previously declared in/path/to/public_html/site.com/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(580) : eval()'d code:321) in /path/to/public_html/site.com/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(580) : eval()'d code on line 472

Looks like some code from fpx_image_import is still in the plugin.

Okay, I´m currently cleaning the plugin of fpx_ tags.

And I don´t know why, but by now it just works with Textpattern 4.08

Be patient, please.

Hi again,

Matt, I got that message too just now after I’d left the site then went back in – I’ve had to deactivate that plugin to get my site back.

Jonas, don’t feel under any pressure – take your time and just do what you can when you can.

Okay, I hope that the plugin is now compatible with:

Textpattern 4.0.7 and 4.0.8
PHP 4
fpx_image_import

Would you try it, please? As I said, I´m no professional. ;)

I want to add that if you are in instant need of a plugin with more sophisticated features, see Eric´s EBL Upload.
I just want to provide this simple mod of fpx_image_import.

Greetings,
Jonas

I got confused thinking it was for files and not images. Maybe change the description in the future.

Looks pretty sweet so far. Uploaded a couple images with no issues. Tried uploading a non-image file and an error displayed quickly then the page refreshed.

Edit: Just noticed that the upload form still shows up in the image_edit step.

ah okay thanks for reporting that! I also renamed the plugin

A few comments:

Why not use jQuery instead of Mootools? If you’re stuck with Mootools, consider including the JS in the source code, so the plugin will work for offline users.
That’s a whole lot of global variables and other code outside a function. Since most only need to be used by your own code, you could use a class or two.
if (txpinterface …)@: @ is unnecessary (and a little slower). Use the identical operator when possible, since it’s faster. You can throw your init code in jbx_image_main, so it’s a little cleaner too.
Can you display an error message if mkdir fails (it does for me)?

Other than that, nice work!

As far as I know, there is no jQuery-Implementation of FancyUpload. Furthermore, I never worked with jQuery. But I´ll include the core within the code.
Just took it all from fpx_image_import. I´ll think about the class.
next version
see 3.

By now, most of the “import”-code is still fpx. Will revise all as soon as I´ve got more time.
