jQuery simple drag & drop upload Plugin
In this tutorial I want to explain how the script jQuery simpleUpload script works in action.
First you have to download the script and unzip the files into a webserver, for example: /var/www/simpleupload/
The simpleupload-directory should contain the following directories and files:
Uploads: files should be downloaded onto this directory
css contains the SimpleUpload.css
img contains the layout images
js contains the SimpleUpload.js and jquery.form.js scripts
index.html initializes SimpleUpload.js and transmits the files via ajax an upload.php
upload.php loads the files into Uploads- directory
Make "Uploads "directory writeable
Open the file index.html and adjust the SimpleUpload options.
After adjusting the options, you can start the upload.
SimpleUpload can be adjusted by following options:
URL | Defines upload-script URL |
FormName | Defines the name of SimpleUpload form |
FileFieldName | Defines the name file field |
Method | Defines form method |
UploadDir | Defines upload directory |
MaxFileUpload | Defines how many files can be uploaded |
MaxFileSize | Defines the maximum of filesize in bytes |
AllowedExtensions | Defines allowed extensions |
AllowRandomFilename | Allows generate random filename |
MultipleUpload | Allows uploading multiple files at once |
CustomFormData | Allows sending custom form variables, i.e.: MemberID to upload-script |
AutoUpload | Allows auto submitting after selecting files |
onSuccess | Allows manipulating the responce after successfull upload |
