I don’t know if anyone else is using this, but dror’s multiple upload type is exactly what I need for a client’s site that should have been done on Monday. Except I can’t make it work. The initial upload goes great, I just upload over 70 pictures into one gallery. i even got it to spit our xml fo rsome flash stuff. So far so good. But if I add images, it gives me an error. I have fought with this all week, and gotten nowhere. The part page, for some reason creates a second part, with no name and then I cannot save. Once I upload a gallery, I cannot save ANYTHING in that page again, because of this part. I have tracked it down to a mysterious second iframe which gets cancelled. then the correct iframe is loaded, but only on the first run. dror, if you are reading, please give this a look. I am using the basic parts you provided and 5.2… thanks. Keith B. ---

I’ve tried to build my own file upload but find that trying to graft anything into Radiant is a pain in the backside. Any help would be great. Thanks ---

I have the code somewhere, but I ended up not using it. I never did get it to work correctly. As for file uploads, do check out the new Mental (development) branch in SVN. Using extensions and acts\_as\_attachment, I got something very workable up and running. And added things to Radiant is MUCH easier than before. Be warned, this is very much in flux, but the direction it is going is very interesting. I have an SVN repository with a simple upload manager, but Textdrive is not allowing anonymous access to it for some reason. I will try to get that sorted out and post a link today or tomorrow.

Thanks keith. Need to try and get my head around Radiant more to fully understand it. Being new \>6 months to ruby its also a challenge! ---

John asked if I would make this public last week, so here it is. It is very rough, basically just an assets manager built around acts\_as\_attachment. I did include the RMagick thumbnail generation, though this will kill your application on Textdrive. RMagick simply uses too much memory. I want to look at shifting this over to MiniMagick, but haven’t gotten around to it. I have included some very basic Radius tags for the uploads. Right now, I have a wrap tag, \\, which takes a Name or Id of the asset. Please look under lib/assets\_tags.rb and see what is available. They should be (mostly) commented. I had some support for tagging the assets, but I took it our for now. I need to get tagging support in general worked out before I put that back in, but ultimately, I would like to be able to do something like \…\. Shouldn’t be too hard. Feedback, suggestions and help greatly appreciated. Like I said, this is just a very simple start.

In order for this to work, you need the latest Mental branch, not the current release (0.5.2). Once you have run your migrations, (the database has changed) you need to place this extension(the root folder “assets”) in the extensions folder. Then run “rake db:migrate:extensions”, which will set up the database tables for the assets. Once you have the mental branch working, there is a new menu item, “Extensions”. This should show the assets extension and a new tab should show up, called Images or Assets (I changed it and don’t remember what I left it as…). I completely forgot, this currently requires the acts\_as\_attachement plugin: [http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/articles/acts\_as\_attachment](http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/articles/acts_as_attachment) You will need to install that before it will work. I realize this is all very complicated, as I write this. Please feel free to ask for help! Keith B. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Tel: +49-7731-7983830 ---

One more thing, how would I graft this into an existing Radiant installation? Does it have to be broken up and the files placed in thier respective folders, or does it live in a directory somewhere. Thanks
