multi file upload problem

[oldukjuggler]

Hi,
I am using JFileupload, Jimageupload & Jfileupload.
I went through the tutorial & set up for two thumbnails upload.

this works ok with one strange out come. The scaling_small.properies file & the scaling_medium.properies file contains the line
outformat=jpg

however the medium files are savd with the extension .JPEG whereas the small file write as i required as a .jpf file.

Q1 why is this?

I have found a work round by putting
<PARAM NAME="template" VALUE=":shortname:' + '.jpg">'); in .

Q2 ideally i would like to be able to sue the template approach on both name and call the files
:shortname:' + '_large' + '.jpg" and :shortname:' + '_small + '.jpg"

can this be acheived?

Q3 Can i get each file type ( large and small) to write to a different directory?

Thanks

Q1:
Try to remove "template" parameter and replace in your scaling.properties files:
renamepolicy=append
by:
renamepolicy=renameifneeded

Q2:
Did you try id parameter as explained in tutorial ?
<PARAM NAME="smallfilterparam3" VALUE="id">
<PARAM NAME="smallfiltervalue3" VALUE="small_">

Can it fit to your need ?

Q3:
No, it would require source code customization. We can provide it but we need to quote it. contact support(at)jfileupload(dot)com if you're interested in.
Another solution is to do file moving on server-side depending on prefix (such as all starting by small_ go to uploads/small/ folder).

Does it help ?

re Q1, that worked great.

re Q2:
Did you try id parameter as explained in tutorial ?
<PARAM NAME="smallfilterparam3" VALUE="id">
<PARAM NAME="smallfiltervalue3" VALUE="small_">

i did use this which added small_ to the title.
However what i wanted to do was add _small at the end of the file ( before .jpg)
as this is to be added to an existing site where all the images have been stored in this way.
( over 1000 images) so i wanted to fit in with the existing naming.
I dont understand what ( or how) this bit of code is ment to work.

re q3: i guess i have to live with it & move all the existing sizes into one folder
(looks lik i have to rename them anyway)

May I ask a new quetion.

Q4 does it matter what order the variations to the .js file are in?
eg if i add a line with a new param can it just go at the end?


Thanks for prompt reply & a great product.

a new snag

I've just noticed that the small thumbail is always 160 x120 . despite is properties requesting 200x150.
I've looked through the files but cant see where this size is comming from
(or why it doesnt use the properties set in the scaling_small.properties file )

The file only contains----------------------
#scaling_small.properties:
maxwidth=200
maxheight=200

# Output image format after scaling (same as input if commented).
# GIF outformat is not available.
outformat=jpg

# quality allows to select compression quality from 0.0 to 1.0
quality=1.0
renamepolicy=renameifneeded

Parameter order does not matter. You just have to make sure is it not after '<APPLET>'.

For wrong scaling values, are you sure you've declared the 2 scaling.properties files in applet ?
<PARAM NAME="additionalfilterid" VALUE="medium,small">
<PARAM NAME="mediumfilter" VALUE="jfileupload.upload.client.filter.ImageFilter">
<PARAM NAME="mediumfilterproperties" VALUE="scaling_medium.properties">
<PARAM NAME="smallfilter" VALUE="jfileupload.upload.client.filter.ImageFilter">
<PARAM NAME="smallfilterproperties" VALUE="scaling_small.properties">

If it's ok then try to close all browser windows to make sure the applet is unloaded.
Also, try to clean Java cache: Start->Control Panel->Java->First tab->Delete temporary files

I discovered the scaling problem was only in firefox 2 , version 3 is fine so i am happy with that.

All these tests were performed on my own local server, running as an ip address url , not localhost.

Today i put up all the files on the clients web server.To my great surprise the ftp upload is failing. looking at the Java console, I can see it logs in ok, but the moment it starts to transfer it immediately fails. the end of the console log reads

220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 Please note: files for your website must be stored under the htdocs directory.

INFO: Upload failed
26-Apr-2009 21:33:59 jfileupload.transfer.client.ftp.E A
INFO: Disconnected from ftp://213.171.193.5

any ideas?

Thanks

Solved,
the ftp password was mistyped. Curiously the java console seemed to indicate that it had logged in.

all that remains to do now make the purchase & impress the client.

Thanks for all your help. It is a terrific product... al be it confusing to set up. Thanks again
