Condiments for SWFUpload

DISCLAIMER: I know this page could use some work. Please offer constructive criticism.

What is Condiments for SWFUpload?

It’s a kit that can help you get started with SWFUpload by providing a pretty good HTML sample, initialization script that could be customized, callback script, and css to make things look nice.

The picture above shows how the thing will look if you use the base style + the tango desktop project override styles and icons (icons are included).

Instructions

Here’s my first stab at some directions for this kit:

  1. Download Condiments for SWFUpload v1. It was built to work with SWFUpload 1.0.2.
  2. Unzip the package to a temporary directory.
  3. Open the ‘base’ folder. Copy the files in here to your web root.
  4. Optional but recommended: Open the ‘tango’ folder. Copy the files in there to your web root.
  5. Open /js/swfupload/init.js and configure the flash_path and upload_script properties.
  6. Open /upload_template.html and copy that code to the location where you want the uploader to show up on your site. Fix the paths to the scripts and css while you’re there.
  7. See if things are working (at least as far as styling goes).

Unless I forgot something, that should take care of it. This is my first release, so I’m looking for feedback and/or contributions.

Other Information

Tested and looked good on FF 2.0.0.3 and IE7.
