I'm working with umbraco for around 10 days and I'm impressed with i already achieved (with the help from the community off course). I subscribed to umbraco tv and the videos helped a lot but as always, there are somethings we have to ask :-)
I'm creating an image gallery and i'd like to have an option to allow the user to upload a zip file. After the upload is completed, i'd like to resize the images that are over a predefined size.
Is there any ready to use solution for that or do i have to create my own custom data type? And if i have to create my own data type, is there a specific place/folder to where i should be uploading the zip file and creating a folder to each gallery?
Thingswas going really well until i get confused by this one. Hope somebody out there can help me clarify this. Thanks in advance.
I personally use the Flash one, which works just fine. I have built my own jQuery lightbox gallery based on a tutorial I found online somewhere quite some time ago. There is at least one project here too: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/tag/gallery#projectList - I haven't tried any of them though. The gallery I created uses ImageGen to resize on the fly.

Hi there,
There are a couple of packages that allows multiple uploads - one is a Flash component, and the other allows uploads of zip files. Check out these options: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/tag/upload#projectList

The third option is an offline utility that uses webservices on the Umbraco side to upload: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/client-tools-for-umbraco
Hope that will give you a head start.
Looks like the "Multiple File Upload" extension will do it (with a few changes). Thanks a lot.
The Client tools URL has been changed: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/client-tools-for-umbraco
