Im looking for some info and some advice creating a media control that allows you to upload multiple images at once. I'm thinking of C# and jQuery
for the main control and XSLT to iterate through the gallery folder or
node ID's assigned to the images by the control.
Just wondering if this has been done before or if anyone has any info
Are you thinking of a front-end facing control or a DataType for uploading in the Backoffice?
- I haven't seen any implementations of the first, but the second is actually already possible in the Media section - just drag a bunch of files onto the browser while viewing a Media folder and you'll see a progressbar for each of them.
Thanks for the response, sorry ive been a while been busy in university ;)
I was just wondering in general what the best way to do either really. Ive been looking around and come across some cool packages that do it from the backoffice.
My scenario is to be able to allow the user to easily upload as many images as they want into a gallery eg this is the structure
I now understand that this needs to be done by creating a folder in the media section and using the drag and drop function to upload the images that I want. However, Is it possible to write an XSLT macro that allows for the transfer of images from a folder in the media section to a folder (page) in the content section. Can this been done by using node Id's because using page names could cause problems with typos etc with page names not matching!
Hopefully this has been done before and someone has a link
Creating a bulk image uploader
Hey guys,
Im looking for some info and some advice creating a media control that allows you to upload multiple images at once. I'm thinking of C# and jQuery for the main control and XSLT to iterate through the gallery folder or node ID's assigned to the images by the control.

Thanks in advance ;)
Hi Paul,

Hey Chriztian,
Thanks for the response, sorry ive been a while been busy in university ;)
I was just wondering in general what the best way to do either really. Ive been looking around and come across some cool packages that do it from the backoffice.
My scenario is to be able to allow the user to easily upload as many images as they want into a gallery eg this is the structure
>Galleries node
>Gallery (e.g Wedding photos (x50images))
>Gallery (e.g Graduation photos (x20images))
>Gallery (e.g Party Photos (x75images))
Hope this makes sense, Im fairly new so please bare with me ;)
Thanks

Right...
I now understand that this needs to be done by creating a folder in the media section and using the drag and drop function to upload the images that I want.
