[Extension] Image Assistant (quadric_image_assistant) (Page 1 of 3)

very nice! great job, definitely working

1. is it possible to align "images" text with the buttons?

2. when searching for the file to upload I get "browser page unresponsive" messages if searching for 10-20 seconds though a folder.... is this the browser, or a setting in the extension?

3.  upload button looks as below from time to time in Chromium 15.0.874.106 (Developer-Build 107270 Linux) Ubuntu 10.04 (just as an FYI)

PS: This is very neat:

2)
- Chromium 15.x on ubuntu 10.04 , Adobe Flash-Plugin... 
- just tried it on XP machine - it all works fast and without any problem there

3)
- maybe it's just due to 2) - haven't had the issue on XP

Split images; sounds like a good idea!

KeyDog:
2) I'll check it out

hcs:
1) That's why i've proposed splitting it into a dates. I think it should make it cleaner.

2) You're right. But how would you prevent such situation? Check if there a post with a picture included? Or maybe drop delete image functionality from common user?

3) Yes, this is my first extension and it's inspired by your extension - it is closest to what i've want to achieve that's why i used it as my base (becouse i didn't even know how to write extensions). At first i want to make such extension for myself but it works nice so i want to share it. I've used some parts of your code but to be honest i thought that you've got uploading parts from the plupload examples 1:1 so i'm sorry for this situation.

OK. Reinventing the whell is not the best solution because some parts of code used here are very common tasks. I didn't change anything in upload.php code so i'll fix this header to contains you oryginal copyright info and any other script that i've based on it i'll add info that is based on your extension, OK? Again sorry for this situation. I didn't want to steal or use you work without permission i just want to make it fast for my own purpose. Most of the code will be rewritten in the final release.

And thanks for your feedback. I hope you're not discouraged of this situation. I'd like to make this extension as good as possible.

Before RC2 release i'd like to make sure if this is OK

I've made version 1.0.1

KeyDog:
1) Button align fixed
2) and 3) I've uploaded new version of uplading script. Please check if something help for your problem.

Remember to refresh browser cache!

I have fixed fancybox img file group launching method so img grouping should work.
I didn't made file browser as good as i want but i'll try to make it soon.

Hey ethan42411, thanks for your feedback.
Bug confirmed - i'll try to fix it

// UPDATE:
Now it's fixed in 1.0.2

Confirmed. The problem is that plupload cover the upload button with his own invisible container. I'll try to fix that.

Just a notice: I've made a new 1.1.0 version with database backend, core optimization and uploaded dir has changed. Now images are uploaded into ROOT "img/m" folder, so the img link doesn't look like:

http://forum.xx/extensions/quadric_image_assistant/users/1000/2/abcdefghijklmnoprstuvxyz.jpg

but

http://forum.xx/img/m/2/abcdefghijklmnoprstuvxyz.jpg

which i think is much more cleaner.

And files browsing is made on database not scan dir which is better becouse it doesn't overfload server

That's why the 1.1.0 version is not compatible with 1.0.x

I'll try to upload this new version asap.

OK, new version awaits in the first post.

Clean install
1) Just copy extension and install it. Then make your FORUM_ROOT/img/m folder writable

Upgrade from 1.0.x
1) Move contens from FORUM_ROOT/quadric_image_assistant/uploads/users/1000/* to FORUM_ROOT/img/m folder
2) Change every folder name "thumb" to only "t" letter
3) Uninstall previous version and remove plugin from disk
4) Upload new plugin and install it
5) After install the new table" qia_images" has been created. To make it work you have to fill this database for yourself but the most important column is "owner_id" and  "file_path" which should be "img/m/<owner_id">/<filename>

Great stuff.

BTW: Would this also work for uploading say mp3 files? then using the mp3 extension to let users share their music (non-copyrighted of course ) ?

Hey fu86.

Wow, i can't believe that i've made such mistake. Thanks for the solution. I've change it a little bit  to make sure that only "/t/" is stripped.

Thanks again. New version uploaded in first post.

Yes, you're absolutely right but someone may wish to use something with last letter "t/ after the "/t/" for thumbnail, for ex:

/img/m/2/t/test/someimgid.jpg

or image id will change for something like that

/img/m/2/t/tp234sdf3434.jpg

I know that this extension doesn't really do anything like that but someone may use own path for some images so i thought it would be nice to secure it for that case.

Thanks for everybody's feedback. I'm really happy that this extension found to be useful.

There is one thing that i think might be a lot better - image browser. Now honestly... it sucks. Do you have any suggestions, ideas how to make it better, more useful? Maybe organizing uploaded images into categories, or maybe some filters by date, maybe image browser thumbs should be bigger or smaller?
