Forum topic: AJAX Uploading

Is there anyway I can assist with the creation of an AJAX upload tool for OpenPackage?

SWFUpload is a good example of something that can be integrated with Drupal and provides realtime status uploads.

At the time of my posting this thread, SWFUpload didn't work correctly. You couldn't upload files, and the javascript paths were all messed up. Today, I put a significant amount of time into getting it to function properly. The end result is two patches that allow the uploading of multiple files with progress bars and attaching them to nodes.

How does this influence OpenPackage? Well, if we figure out how, we might be able to tell OpenPackage to use SWFUpload instead of its built in file uploading functions. Another way is to tell OpenPackage to process files that are attached to nodes as file attachments (since SWFUpload just replaces the Upload module). This would allow us to have an AJAX uploader, all fancy and nice with a progress bar, and realtime responses on uploads.
