Re: abl_droploader: A native drag & drop multiple image uploader
Hi all
A new Version 0.13 is available for download.
This Version hopefully should eliminate the problem with strings which are not available under the current site language.
More info in the original post

Or (untested, but purports to work) drop the #@language declaration from the first set of strings, so that the (English) strings get installed against whatever default language the recipient’s system is using. At least the strings are there and can then be translated, instead of being raw string refs.
I can confirm, that this works (at least in Txp 4.4.1). Great tip, Stef! Thanks!

Finally installed this without a hitch (previously it was throwing a request too large [suhosin] error). It’s really awesome.
The only suggestion I’d have is to drop the masked area back to a dark gray transparency pane and make the link language a more obvious differentiation from the standard image upload.
Excellent work!

Hello mrdale,
If you like to have another backgroud style for the drop-area, you can change the stylesheet (located in /res/css/). Search for the css-selector “#abl-droploader .select-files” and change the color/backgroud properties to your needs. I think, I will add some prefs for customizing this in one of the next releases. Hope, this improves usability under different admin-themes.
How shoud I name the link? Ideas (and any text corrections/improvements) are always welcome.
Thanks for feedback!

Can you insert images into posts with this? :)

Hi Ross,
Not directly into posts, but into the article-image field.
However, Stef Dawson is working on an updated version of jmd_image_selector: http://forum.textpattern.com/post.php?tid=27456&qid=261917.
This is probably what you are looking for.

This plugin rocks! Can’t believe I didn’t use it before.
One addition would be awesome: being able to assign to a new category upon import.

On a side note, this breaks updating images.
When saving an image (after re-uploading/replacing), rather than going back to the image list, it’s just a piece of code on the page:
{"status":1,"image_id":4624}
:(

Re: abl_droploader: A native drag & drop multiple image uploader
Excellent plugin, but I’m missing a preference to change the path where the plugin is installed. I would like to put it in /plugins/pluginname/ where all my other plugins go instead of /res/. Otherwise they’re scattered all over different directories.

All thumbnails are standard 100×100 cropped. If you’re using those in your website and they need to be a different size and not cropped, big problem.

Re: abl_droploader: A native drag & drop multiple image uploader
Is it possible to add a function of creating a new image-category for uploading images?

Re: abl_droploader: A native drag & drop multiple image uploader
Congratulations for this plugins. I was looking for one that be compatible with TXP 4.5.2
One thing I noticed, when I delete all images, I can’t see options to upload new images, even native TXP options.
I’ve installed soo_plugin_pref earlier.
Am I doing anything wrong?
I join to this feature too (such as has jbx_multiple_image_upload)

Is the category dropdown not available in 4.5.2? I have it in a 4.4.1 installation. Please inspect your source code (the version that JS influenced) for the existence of its ID abl-droploader-image-cat-sel.

Re: abl_droploader: A native drag & drop multiple image uploader
Thanks Uli for replying
Yes, category dropdown is available, but I mean be able to create a NEW category if this doesn’t exist (such as jbx_multiple_image_upload does it)
I take advantage to repeat again, when no there is any loaded images, I can’t upload new images. All options to do it, are disabled.
I’ve tried in two clean installation (one in Local environment and the other in a online server) with same result.
Could anybody check if this is so?

Re: abl_droploader: A native drag & drop multiple image uploader
Generally you’re right, with abl_droploader installed, the Image panel remains inaccessible without images. The Write panel however still offers the upload link, and uploading at least one image fixes the problem. At least for me on 4.4.1.
