file upload -- multiple?

Hello, Seasiders,

I'm trying to work out a utility that allows my users to upload files
(text) and reports back certain information about those files.

First, Seaside is definitely one of the coolest, simplest frameworks
for this, I think.

Second, is the "multiple" feature available? My users will be
uploading a LOT of files.

===Blake===

Not directly, but you can do

html fileUpload
attributeAt: 'multiple' put: true

But I haven't yet checked out whether that works correctly with
callbacks. I created an issue for this [1]. My understanding though is
that browser support is spotty at best. You may want to look into a
JavaScript solution.

You may want to do load testing in this area. This hasn't historically
been a strength.

Well, damn. Is it a structural issue or something that I could maybe add?

Javascript-wise, there is a JQuery component that does multiple uploads, here:

http://blueimp.github.com/jQuery-File-Upload/

--is it feasible to hook that up to a Seaside app?

There is an experimental implementation in the 3.1 repository [1]. In
theory it should work in 3.0 (You need only the Seaside-HTML5
package). Note this is experimental, barely tested (I only did a quick
test on the AJP adaptor) and we're not willing to commit to the API,
semantics or implementation at this point.

Without knowing what the plugin does at the HTTP level this is hard to tell.

I regularly use Plupload to upload multiple files one through multiple requests. I haven't had any problems with it (although I have't written a proper Seaside wrapper so the Smalltalk code is a big ugly). I can send you a VisualWorks parcel off-list in case you want to port it.

Blake,

Out of curiosity I had a quick look at jQuery-File-Upload. It wouldn't be a problem to hook this up to Seaside. In addition it appears that with this plugin you can get around the multiple-file-per-request problem by specifying the data-sequential-uploads attribute to true making it upload in the same manner as Plupload. That is, if the user selects multiple files they are automatically uploaded sequentially through multiple single-file uploads to the server.

I'll see if I can work it out!

Re: file upload -- multiple?

Hi Blake

This old email may help in getting the plugin integrated with seaside:

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/seaside/2009-November/021912.html

It describes how to add a jquery plugin to the jQuery WidgetBox on squeak source.
