Were they large images? What kind of files were they?

What exactly did it do that didn’t work?

7 jpegs, 800px wide. It said it worked, though the process-bar acted kind of strange (freezed for a while then suddenly said it was all done), and the images haven’t appeared in the images tab. Maybe it is because I asked them to resize them to 800 px wide while they were already.

Ah. I think I know what happened.

There are now three status labels.

Uploading

Obviously, this is when the files are transfering. The green status bar will move as the files progress.

Processing Image Uploads

Once the files are uploaded into the batch folder, the script is then called that processes the uploaded files & imports into TXP. Nothing is shown during this period. The speed at which this varies upon the quality and quantity of the images uploaded. (Although, I’m thinking I may change that now)

Processing Complete.

TA DA!!!

Try it again, and if it gets stuck (for more than a few minutes), let me know at which point it did.

Also, when you get the popup again, make sure it says Revision A.001 in the top right corner of the flash file.

Yep, the process bar works a ton better. But it still didn’t work. The images didn’t show up in the image tab, nor did they in the table in the flash interface, after the processing is complete.

Also, but that’s really just a detail, when you’re in the width field (resize) and press tab to go to the next field, it goes to the height field (resize).

Good progress… guess I have to get a paypal account now :)

ARGGGH!! It’s an authentication issue, again. This time it’s not unique to Firefox. I’ll get to work on it again this weekend.

I uploaded about 3 images using Firefox with the following options:

Resize: 200×20
Thumbnail: 50×50
Category: Stuff

The upload bar went through and the Processing Complete Message appeared, but when closing the window and clicking on the images tab again my new images didn’t appear.

A few little niggles.

In the Resize area, when tabbing through it doesn’t go in the correct order. It jumps straight from Height to the Generate Thumbnail options, bypassing the width option for Resize.

The upload dialogue box that appears is the old style one and cannot be resized. It makes it a pain to browse for images when you have to keep scrolling. I’m guessing this is related to Flash though.

Also would it be possible to have a button for the Batch Upload. The hyperlink is quite small and I completely missed it at first.

Thank you for all your hard work.

I just gave it a try.

I uploaded four images. Closed the pop-up Batch Upload window. Refreshed the Images tab. Saw the four images I uploaded. I clicked on Batch Upload to try it again. I uploaded three images. After the process completed I was informed that my seven images were uploaded. I refreshed the Images tab and yup… there were duplicate entries for the first four followed by the three new images.

Yah, the duplication was due my disabling the deletion of the images from the temp folder while I was debugging/testing. That’s since been re-enabled.

I believe I squashed a couple of bugs that snuck into my code, so it should be working now. I’m going to need a couple people to test it in operation on the demo site, and as part of a seperate new (on their website) installation. Let me know if you’re interested.

You should allow form email in your profile. Count in me in for the testing! I was about to propose to help you out with the php. I’ll do some testing on the demo in a minute.

Ok, well, it’s getting there. For one, the tabbing is solved. Images are uploaded and resized, no problemo. But the thumbnailing acts weird. He only thumbs the first one in the list correctly, the others are set to a height of 100px.

Also, the “Batch Upload” button also appears on the image-description pages. Sort of weird, but could be useful. Maybe it just needs some better integration. And change that margin on the button, it makes it all behave weirdly in Firefox, when you click.

All the rest is fine, great work!
