Can someone explain how to implement the jQuery Fi

Question

EDIT:

This still seems to be getting traffic so I'll explain what I ended up doing. I eventually got the plugin working by following Subrat's tutorial, which is the accepted answer. However, jQuery File Upload is a real hassle, and if you're looking for a simple file upload plugin, I would highly recommend Uploadify (thanks, CORSAIR!). As an answer pointed out, it is only free for non-commercial use.

Background

I'm trying to use blueimp's jQuery File Upload to allow users to upload files. Out of the box it works perfectly, following the setup instructions. But to use it practically on my website, I want to be able to do a couple of things:

• Include the uploader on any of my existing pages
• Change the directory for uploaded files

All the files for the plugin are located in a folder under the root.

I've tried...

• Moving the demo page into the root and updating the paths for the necessary scripts
• Changing the 'upload_dir' and 'upload_url' options in the UploadHandler.php file as suggested here.
• Changing the URL in the second line of the demo javascript

In all cases, the preview shows, and the progress bar runs, but the files fail to upload, and I get this error in the console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'files' of undefined. I don't understand how all the parts of the plugin work which is making it difficult to debug.

Code

The javascript in the demo page:

$(function () {
'use strict';
// Change this to the location of your server-side upload handler:
var url = 'file_upload/server/php/UploadHandler.php',
    uploadButton = $('<button/>')
        .addClass('btn')
        .prop('disabled', true)
        .text('Processing...')
        .on('click', function () {
            var $this = $(this),
                data = $this.data();
            $this
                .off('click')
                .text('Abort')
                .on('click', function () {
                    $this.remove();
                    data.abort();
                });
            data.submit().always(function () {
                $this.remove();
            });
        });
$('#fileupload').fileupload({
    url: url,
    dataType: 'json',
    autoUpload: false,
    acceptFileTypes: /(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png)$/i,
    maxFileSize: 5000000, // 5 MB
    // Enable image resizing, except for Android and Opera,
    // which actually support image resizing, but fail to
    // send Blob objects via XHR requests:
    disableImageResize: /Android(?!.*Chrome)|Opera/
        .test(window.navigator.userAgent),
    previewMaxWidth: 100,
    previewMaxHeight: 100,
    previewCrop: true
}).on('fileuploadadd', function (e, data) {
    data.context = $('<div/>').appendTo('#files');
    $.each(data.files, function (index, file) {
        var node = $('<p/>')
                .append($('<span/>').text(file.name));
        if (!index) {
            node
                .append('<br>')
                .append(uploadButton.clone(true).data(data));
        }
        node.appendTo(data.context);
    });
}).on('fileuploadprocessalways', function (e, data) {
    var index = data.index,
        file = data.files[index],
        node = $(data.context.children()[index]);
    if (file.preview) {
        node
            .prepend('<br>')
            .prepend(file.preview);
    }
    if (file.error) {
        node
            .append('<br>')
            .append(file.error);
    }
    if (index + 1 === data.files.length) {
        data.context.find('button')
            .text('Upload')
            .prop('disabled', !!data.files.error);
    }
}).on('fileuploadprogressall', function (e, data) {
    var progress = parseInt(data.loaded / data.total * 100, 10);
    $('#progress .bar').css(
        'width',
        progress + '%'
    );
}).on('fileuploaddone', function (e, data) {
    $.each(data.result.files, function (index, file) {
        var link = $('<a>')
            .attr('target', '_blank')
            .prop('href', file.url);
        $(data.context.children()[index])
            .wrap(link);
    });
}).on('fileuploadfail', function (e, data) {
    $.each(data.result.files, function (index, file) {
        var error = $('<span/>').text(file.error);
        $(data.context.children()[index])
            .append('<br>')
            .append(error);
    });
}).prop('disabled', !$.support.fileInput)
    .parent().addClass($.support.fileInput ? undefined : 'disabled');
});

I'm surprised by the lack of documentation; it seems like it should be a simple thing to change. I would appreciate if someone could explain how to do this.

Answer 1

You can use uploadify this is the best multiupload jquery plugin i have used.

The implementation is easy, the browser support is perfect.

Answer 2

Hi try bellow link it is very easy. I've been stuck for long time and it solve my issue in few minutes. http://simpleupload.michaelcbrook.com/#examples

Answer 3

This is good Angular plugin for uploading files, and its free!

angular file upload

Answer 4

I was looking for a similar functionality some days back and came across a good tutorial on tutorialzine. Here is an working example. Complete tutorial can be found here.

Simple form to hold the file upload dialogue:

<form id="upload" method="post" action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" name="uploadctl" multiple />
  <ul id="fileList">
    <!-- The file list will be shown here -->
  </ul>
</form>

And here is the jQuery code to upload the files:

$('#upload').fileupload({

  // This function is called when a file is added to the queue
  add: function (e, data) {
    //This area will contain file list and progress information.
    var tpl = $('<li class="working">'+
                '<input type="text" value="0" data-width="48" data-height="48" data-fgColor="#0788a5" data-readOnly="1" data-bgColor="#3e4043" />'+
                '<p></p><span></span></li>' );

    // Append the file name and file size
    tpl.find('p').text(data.files[0].name)
                 .append('<i>' + formatFileSize(data.files[0].size) + '</i>');

    // Add the HTML to the UL element
    data.context = tpl.appendTo(ul);

    // Initialize the knob plugin. This part can be ignored, if you are showing progress in some other way.
    tpl.find('input').knob();

    // Listen for clicks on the cancel icon
    tpl.find('span').click(function(){
      if(tpl.hasClass('working')){
              jqXHR.abort();
      }
      tpl.fadeOut(function(){
              tpl.remove();
      });
    });

    // Automatically upload the file once it is added to the queue
    var jqXHR = data.submit();
  },
  progress: function(e, data){

        // Calculate the completion percentage of the upload
        var progress = parseInt(data.loaded / data.total * 100, 10);

        // Update the hidden input field and trigger a change
        // so that the jQuery knob plugin knows to update the dial
        data.context.find('input').val(progress).change();

        if(progress == 100){
            data.context.removeClass('working');
        }
    }
});
//Helper function for calculation of progress
function formatFileSize(bytes) {
    if (typeof bytes !== 'number') {
        return '';
    }

    if (bytes >= 1000000000) {
        return (bytes / 1000000000).toFixed(2) + ' GB';
    }

    if (bytes >= 1000000) {
        return (bytes / 1000000).toFixed(2) + ' MB';
    }
    return (bytes / 1000).toFixed(2) + ' KB';
}

And here is the PHP code sample to process the data:

if($_POST) {
    $allowed = array('jpg', 'jpeg');

    if(isset($_FILES['uploadctl']) && $_FILES['uploadctl']['error'] == 0){

        $extension = pathinfo($_FILES['uploadctl']['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

        if(!in_array(strtolower($extension), $allowed)){
            echo '{"status":"error"}';
            exit;
        }

        if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadctl']['tmp_name'], "/yourpath/." . $extension)){
            echo '{"status":"success"}';
            exit;
        }
        echo '{"status":"error"}';
    }
    exit();
}

The above code can be added to any existing form. This program automatically uploads images, once they are added. This functionality can be changed and you can submit the image, while you are submitting your existing form.

Updated my answer with actual code. All credits to original author of the code.

Answer 5

I struggled with this plugin for a while on Rails, and then someone gemified it obsoleting all the code I had created.

Although it looks like you're not using this in Rails, however if anyone is using it checkout this gem. The source is here --> jQueryFileUpload Rails.

Update:

In order to satisfy the commenter I've updated my answer. Essentially "use this gem, here is the source code" If it disappears then do it the long way.

Check out the Image drag and drop uploader with image preview using dropper jquery plugin.

HTML

<div class="target" width="78" height="100"><img /></div>

JS

$(".target").dropper({
    action: "upload.php",

}).on("start.dropper", onStart);
function onStart(e, files){
console.log(files[0]);

    image_preview(files[0].file).then(function(res){
$('.dropper-dropzone').empty();
//$('.dropper-dropzone').css("background-image",res.data);
 $('#imgPreview').remove();        
$('.dropper-dropzone').append('<img id="imgPreview"/><span style="display:none">Drag and drop files or click to select</span>');
var widthImg=$('.dropper-dropzone').attr('width');
        $('#imgPreview').attr({width:widthImg});
    $('#imgPreview').attr({src:res.data});

    })

}

function image_preview(file){
    var def = new $.Deferred();
    var imgURL = '';
    if (file.type.match('image.*')) {
        //create object url support
        var URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
        if (URL !== undefined) {
            imgURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
            URL.revokeObjectURL(file);
            def.resolve({status: 200, message: 'OK', data:imgURL, error: {}});
        }
        //file reader support
        else if(window.File && window.FileReader)
        {
            var reader = new FileReader();
            reader.readAsDataURL(file);
            reader.onloadend = function () {
                imgURL = reader.result;
                def.resolve({status: 200, message: 'OK', data:imgURL, error: {}});
            }
        }
        else {
            def.reject({status: 1001, message: 'File uploader not supported', data:imgURL, error: {}});
        }
    }
    else
        def.reject({status: 1002, message: 'File type not supported', error: {}});
    return def.promise();
}

$('.dropper-dropzone').mouseenter(function() {
 $( '.dropper-dropzone>span' ).css("display", "block");
});

$('.dropper-dropzone').mouseleave(function() {
 $( '.dropper-dropzone>span' ).css("display", "none");
});

CSS

.dropper-dropzone{
    width:78px;
padding:3px;
    height:100px;
position: relative;
}
.dropper-dropzone>img{
    width:78px;
    height:100px;
margin-top=0;
}

.dropper-dropzone>span {
    position: absolute;
    right: 10px;
    top: 20px;
color:#ccc;


}

.dropper .dropper-dropzone{

padding:3px !important    
}
