Re: An FTP Module for ImpressCMS

I am down with whatever as long as you focus on chunkuploading - I know I am not the only one aggravated when you go to upload a file and it is a kb too big. It would also be nice to utilize pecl_uploadprogress so we can have an actual progressbar. [x]

I am seeing many more free options now that I have paid for one - lol...

Re: An FTP Module for ImpressCMS

I went looking for the chuncked upload feature, and I came across plupload.

Anyone tried that one yet?

edit : Will beat me to it I see. I have to hit the 'post' button sooner

Re: An FTP Module for ImpressCMS

Multiple file upload, chunked uploading are definitely on my wish list!

The plupload option looks rather good - has several different transports (HTML5, Flash, Google Gears, Yahoo Browser Plus, Silverlight and HTML4), uses jQuery and is by the TinyMCE devs. it provides a progress bar and drag/drop for browsers that support it.

How do we turn this into an extension for the core and who wants to work on it?

Re: An FTP Module for ImpressCMS

Couldn't we make this an ipf class or something, or even just a field type.

The form field file exists - so would it be a huge deal to simply extend that?

Think you're certainly thinking in the right direction Will

Re: An FTP Module for ImpressCMS

Not another library ... we already have enough. We should rather use our own features (and this is not reinventing the wheel).

We need something like a generic file manager (which should also replace the image manager at some point in time). depending on specific file types it could offer special features (as the current image manager does). This could be developed based on IPF and added to the core.

We definitly need a concept but I could work on that provided we have all the details.

already in the pipeline :thumbup: i'm working on a backend structure for something like that now, though will take some time. currently i'm just working on the xml side, but all i can say for now is the plan is for something similar to wordpress.

the front end, well there's quite a few jquery and ajax front ends we could develop to make the users/webmasters life easier, but the front end is nothing if the backend hasn't got the capabilities yet.

Please let us talk about it as a team.

Communication first, doing later.
Remember what Steve and Marc said during the webinar about the refactoring.

Re: An FTP Module for ImpressCMS

As long as chunkuploading is considered, you guys will make my day. V is right - the backend is totally what counts - we can tie in any frontend to it.

Re: An FTP Module for ImpressCMS

chunked uploads will be the main consideration.. just as much as chunked downloads, which i had implemented in wfdownloads from 3.2 simply because in this day & age, people aren't just wanting to upload/download small files anymore, i've seen people wanting to upload files in the gb size.
