Products.PloneFlashUpload 1.1

Requirements

The 1.1 version only works on plone 3.0. Also you’ll apparently need zope 2.10.5 as otherwise lib/python packaged can’t be in the Products namespace.

• Zope 2.10.5+

• Plone 3.0.x

Installation

Option one: use buildout and specify ‘Products.PloneFlashUpload’ as an egg dependency. (Or depend on it in your own product’s setup.py).

Option two: simply extract downloaded archive into the $INSTANCE_HOME/lib/python directory and (re)start Zope.

Once Zope is running, go to the Plone site’s Add/Remove Products configuration screen and install the PloneFlashUpload product.

Basic Usage

After installation of the product is complete, go to any folder within the plone site and a new upload tab should be present if the current user has access to add new files to the folder.

Additional Notes

• The flash applet has been tested (and runs successfully) on MSIE6, MSIE7, Firefox 1.5 (WinXP), Firefox 2.0 (WinXP/Linux) and various Safari and Firefox versions on MacOSX. If a particular browser is found not to work, please submit an issue to the issue tracker.

• Any file that is uploaded will try to use the content type registry to determine what portal type should be the result of the file being uploaded (ie jpg’s created as Image’s and random binary files created as File’s). It should be observed though that only portal types defined within the PFU configlet are possible candidates (ie add more here if you have additional custom types you are using and have registered with CTR).

Extra kudos to the author(s) of z3c.widget.flashupload which PloneFlashUpload uses as the source of the actual flash applet.
