Example: send a picture by email, the user must fill in its email and its correspondant email address
In this scenario, When the upload is finished, the jquUploader is replaced by a text input field.
This makes it easy to then submit your form and save the file path to a database field for instance, along with the rest of the form fields.
Note that this behaviour can be switched off by providing a url to the "afterScript" option. in such case, after the upload is finished, the flash file will redirect to a new page, allowing, for instance, to show the user its uploaded image.
Note that if you wish to limit the maximum file size, simply add this bit of
html in your upload form, right before the file input field: <input
name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1048576" type="hidden" />. In this way, even
users without javascript enabled will not have to wait the end of the transfer
to discover that their file is too heavy according to the server settings. This
is for ergonomy, NOT security, so make sure you enforce a filesize check in your
serverside upload script!
$("#example1").jqUploader({
background: "FFFFDF",
barColor: "FFDD00",
allowedExt: "*.avi; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png",
allowedExtDescr: "what you want",
params: {quality:'low', menu: false},
validFileMessage: 'Thanks, now hit Upload!',
endMessage: 'and don\'t you come back ;)',
hideSubmit: false
});
In example 2, the optional afterScript is used to point to a page where the flash should redirect when the upload is finished.
$("#example2").jqUploader({
afterScript: "redirected.php",
background: "FFFFDF",
barColor: "64A9F6",
allowedExt: "*.avi; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png",
allowedExtDescr: "Images and movies (*.avi; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png)"
});
Example 3 is the same as example 1, but there is no redirection.
$("#example3").jqUploader({background: "FFFFDF",barColor: "FF00FF"});
