Multiple file upload solution!
I just discovered a 3 party HTTP Post application that can upload multiple files at once. How difficult (or easy Wink) would it be to integrate that into FileMan? Check it out at http://www.ibulc.com



A sample CGI is available from the download section but I am not to keen with this stuff myself, yet. Frown

Well, I contacted Kyle Parker from iBULC and he wrote me a script that I can use with FileMan to upload 100's of files at once quick and easy. It works for me but I have only tested it with the 1 user version of FileMan. I have attached the zipfile that Kyle emailed me. Make sure you read the instructions:

Code:
################## BEGIN iBULC MODIFICATION #################################
# Modified version of fileman.cgi to allow for multiple file uploads
# using the iBULC (http://www.ibulc.com) client.
#
# Based on FileMan version 2.0.3 (other versions have not been tested).
#
# INSTRUCTIONS:
# 1) Change the line at the top to point to your perl (TIP: copy it from your fileman.cgi).
# 2) Change the line below (use lib '/home/...';) to point to your fileman lib directory (TIP: copy it from your fileman.cgi).
# 3) Upload "multi_upload.html" in ASCII to your "private/templates" directory (overwrite the default template after you have made a backup!).
# 4) Upload "iBULC_upload.cgi" in ASCII to the same location as your "fileman.cgi" and CHMOD to 755.
################## END iBULC MODIFICATION ###################################

Blush Oops, the file zip file I uploaded as an attachment contained a version of the "multi_upload.html" that I had modified to point to my "iBULC_upload.cgi". Anyway, attached below is a later version that should work for everyone according to Kyle. However, it did not work for me that is why I had modified the multi_upload.html.

This worked for me as well. Nice piece of software. I've been looking for something like this for two years.

Hey, just found out that it can also resize images prior to uploading to preserve bandwidth. That's friggin awesome! Rock 'n roll.

Hi corkcollector,

I just figured out how to setup that resize thing. I did not try it before because there was no need for it. However, I just purchased a new digicam and I wanted to upload some images to share with my family. I did not have to upload the 25 files of 1 Mb but instead iBULC reduced the size of them before the upload started, so I only uploaded 25 file of about 150 Kb each. Cool.

Anyway, for anyone who has not tried this mod yet, see below a screenshot of iBULC integrated into FileMan.

I cannot seem to get the iBULC mod that was posted above to work after following the directions. This is the error message I get: fatal error has occured:
Invalid config file: ConfigData.pm. Got: '' instead of actual data. Error: No such file or directory at /mnt/web_g/d42/s18/b01f2fdb/cgi-bin/private/lib/GT/FileMan.pm line 196.I would really appreciate someone helping me out on this one. I am doing a website for my boss and we are going to purchase Fileman and would like the features that iBULC has too which we also plan to purchase if I can get the two integrated smoothly. thanksUnimpressed
