Re: [REQUEST] Add file upload to contact form

How about minimal version for 4.5 and jQuery UI version for 4.6?
That’d work, sure. I just don’t know how to go about offering styling options. Every contact form is different so I’d be reticent to render something that looked like the (excellent) Queue widget in case that wasn’t what was required in a person’s contact form.
It kinda needs a bare bones approach with tags for :
- File upload input widget.
- Dropzone.
- Buttons.
- Feedback area.
- Anything else…?
So, for example, it might work like this:
<txp:zem_contact to="someone@example.org">
<txp:zem_contact_text label="Message" />
<txp:zem_contact_email />
<txp:zcr_file_attach class="upload_widget">
<txp:zcr_file_attach_dropzone wraptag="div" class="filedrop" />
<div class="zcr_buttonbar">
<txp:zcr_file_attach_button type="add" />
<txp:zcr_file_attach_button type="upload" />
<txp:zcr_file_attach_messages />
</div>
</txp:zcr_file_attach>
</txp:zem_contact>An input box could be rendered by default by the zcr_file_attach tag (as a fallback) which you could hide if you preferred. Or maybe it should only render that if the tag is used as a single tag, with an option to include one via <txp:zcr_file_attach_input /> if used as a container. That way, a site admin could choose which extra bits of functionality to include and style the components individually to taste.
Not sure if that would work or if it’s customisable enough. Further thoughts welcome.

Re: [REQUEST] Add file upload to contact form
Actually thinking about it, do we even need to do any styling? That is really down to the site author isn’t it?
I agree the best approach is to allow the author to choose the pieces they want, to build the upload as simple or as full-featured as Plupload allows.

Yeah, after initially mentioning pretty interfaces I realised after a bit of brainthought that it was a bad choice and then the zcr_file_attach-as-container idea sprang into my head.
The only thing about the examples I’m unsure about is why you need an extra <script> tag to include the queue module. I thought the plupload.full.min.js included everything but it doesn’t appear to. Rats.

Re: [REQUEST] Add file upload to contact form
Hellooo!
I’ve been peeping into this thread and it seems that you have made some good progress. Is there a later version of the plugin with progress bar redy to use, already?
Thanks

Thanks Ruud. I had a look. Accordind to what I can get from the discription (there are no actual screenshots, unfortunately) the all essencial fitures have been covered in Stef’s version, which I have installed and running on the site already. The next step now is adding progress bar to visualize the upload process. This feature is not mentioned in Kuopassa’s plugin, either.
Pity I didn’t dig this plugin earlier (and I tried hard), it could have saved some work, probably.
