Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
The uppercase/lowercase file-extension issue has been fixed. The updated file is available for download.
What was wrong was this : $ext = end(explode(“.”,$file)); // outputs JPG the extension was uppercase
The fix was this : $ext = strtolower(end(explode(“.”,$file))); // outputs jpg the extension was uppercase

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
Hi Eric, some feedback as promised:
- Is it possible for tidiness sake that the preferences for the plugin are stored under an Extensions tab, like other plugins?
- Files tab says “Upload Additional Images” – maybe this should be “Files” instead
- In your store, can it be possible to remove domains that were incorrectly named i.e domain.com instead of http://domain.com
- After selecting an image for upload, then clicking on the image title, the image is removed from the queue, not sure if this is intended behaviour
- Small thing, but I think displaying similar buttons throughout the upload process would be better from a UI point of view
Mostly small things, and not sure if its very helpful. The plugin works wonderfully and so far smooth as silk! Thanks for your efforts!

It is, but the plugin is rather large as it is. Having to create a separate tab that saved/updates the settings wouldn’t be all that efficient when I can just use native TXP functions.
- Files tab says “Upload Additional Images” – maybe this should be “Files” instead
Whoops! That’s a bug. It should say “Upload Additional Files”
- In your store, can it be possible to remove domains that were incorrectly named i.e domain.com instead of http://domain.com
Possible, but that shopping cart / store needs a lot of revisions. After March I’ll begin work on my TXP commerce module.
- After selecting an image for upload, then clicking on the image title, the image is removed from the queue, not sure if this is intended behaviour
It is. Individual files can be removed from the file-queue by click on them in the file list.
- Small thing, but I think displaying similar buttons throughout the upload process would be better from a UI point of view
Could you explain this one a bit more?

No problem. It was a learning experience that pushed me into learning JS/jQuery. I must say, that has definitely come in handy! (See ebl-image-edit when its released)

OK – but I think it would be worth reconsidering because all plugins nowadays use Extensions and I think this is good practice because preferences for these plugins are consistently grouped.
Could you explain this one a bit more?
Sure – I am not sure its worth mentioning really… I was referring to the buttons on the top of the upload image form. When going through the process of uploading (after setting the thumbnail preferences as I recall) there is a button below that is different from the buttons above. Something like “next step”. On Safari its a tiny submit button. I was just thinking from a user perspective it might be nice to have a fully consistent UI. Like I said, just being perfectionist…!
Another question, I develop first locally using MAMP on a Mac. URL’s are like: http://localhost:8888/. To test ebl_upload locally can I set a URL like this in your store?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
You can use that URL within the store, but I can’t absolutely guarantee that it’ll work. Flash gets a little sketchy when working in the localhost enviroment. Everything would work fine, except, perhaps, the uploading.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
I also develop on localhost before going live/ Will the plug-in still work, or can I use it without multiple uploading? And use the serial for the live version when I am ready?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
You can switch the serial from localhost to the real domain when you’re ready. Just send me an email and I’ll add a new license to your account.

I think it is greasy as hell that you are charging money for a textpattern plugin.

Time is money and Eric donates a lot of it toward helping the project. Nothing wrong with him using some of it to pay his mortgage. While you may think it is “greasy as hell”, it is allowed given the Textpattern license and his usage of flash. I would wager that your negative comment is based upon your desire to use the plugin features for a site.
If the price was unreasonable or if no one was willing to pay for a textpattern plugin, he wouldn’t sell any licenses and the plugin would be unused. The same net effect of him not developing at all. At least for a fee, some can improve their sites.

Then don’t buy it. (See Manfre’s post above – well said.)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
Has anyone received the [ Error #2049 ] when using EBL Upload?
I’ve read that [ Error #2 ] refers to an invalid serial… does this apply to the 2049 as well?
And if so, where on eric’s site do I change my serial?
(I guess am still confused by the whole “to http or not to http” issue…)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
I had this error. It is a domain mismatch. Here is what Eric told me:
The domain is setup as : domain.com and the serial number is tied to this domain, so there won't be a flash error #2 (serial number mis-match), but when the user signs on as www.domain.com and attempts to logon, ebl-upload pulls the URL from site_url and lists it as domain.com to the flash player. The flash player then realizes theres a security error when trying to upload to www.domain.com (domain mismatch.)
It's this that's caused that problem your client displayed.Offline
Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3

(and Eric too of course)
All is well again in the chaotic landscape of my mind. :)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
Hi Eric,
Followed your installation instructions to the dot, but no Show Controls link I got no errors during installation so I’m not sure whats gone on.
Im using PHP5 for other plug-ins. Have disabled firebug. My txplib_head.php had to be changed as I am using a custom Admin.? Any advice?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ebl_Upload Version 3
Unfortunately, I can’t warrant that it will function correctly if the page structure has changed. EBL_upload relies upon the default textpattern DOM to function correctly.
Verify that jQuery is still loaded. If it is, make sure that #list is still the ID name for the table.
