Multiple images upload

[Jury]

Hi all,

does Photologue have multiple images upload feature ? Not with zip
file as docs suggest, just Javascript or Flash interface.

Hi Jury,

Photologue does not provide any client-side facilities for uploading
multiple images but should be able to integrate with most solutions
out there.

Something along these lines is certainly needed. I have been looking
into using WebDAV to upload to some temporary holding area and then
having an option inside photologue to import from that area and have
written some code to that end but nothing really usable yet.

Tracy,

Batch importing photos is quite easy. I don't know if this helps but the process_zipfile method of the GalleryUpload model can show you one way to do it (just loop through a folder or any other list of files instead of a zipfile).

However, client-side solutions using flash and/or javascript are, at least right now, beyond the scope of the application. This does not mean that Photologue is incompatible with these techniques. If there are specific existing libraries out there with compatible licenses that people would like me to look at, I'd be happy to do so (as time allows).

You could just post a form to a custom view. this isn't included in photologue but would be straightforward to implement.

As far as I understand, most Flash-based uploaders use similar
protocols for uploading multiple images. You can look at one of the
most popular tool called SWFUpload, I believe if you support it,
developers who use other SWF solutions can easy adapt your code. The
website is http://swfupload.org/ and here are Django examples -

Anyway, multiple images uploading is much more useful pattern in real
life than single photo upload, so I'm sure Photologue will be more
usable if it supports it by some way or another right from the box.
