I found the other day the FancyUpload by Harald Kirschner. I know it’s been around for a while but I just found it.
I had some small problems making it to work though and I didn’t found any complete packages for download to help me surpass my limits.The problems I encountered while setting up the script were caused by my limited knowledge and experience not by any bugs in the script. I had to deal with two problems one the browse button didn’t work for me and second one I received a 404 status error. Both of these issues were fixed and the download package works great.
The script is great it uses MooTools javascript library, flash and php for multiple-file selection menu and queued upload with an animated progress bar. Big thanks to Harald Kirschner who keeps throwing at us tools that help us make the time spent on our sites by the visitors much more pleasant.
Here is a list of some of the features the FancyUpload has:
- Select and upload multiple files
- Filter files by type in the select dialog
- Optional Events to add your own behaviour
- Show and filter useful file information before the upload starts
- Limit uploads by file count and/or file size
- Platform and server independent, just needs Flash 9+ (> 95% penetration)
- Unobtrusive, since the element is replaced after the swf loaded successfully
- Cancel running uploads, add files during upload
- Everything is optional, documented and easy editable
You can download the complete package here
You can also view a working demo here to get a feeling of what this can do.
