Uploadify.com plugin for uploading images via ajax

[dyke.ecl]

Hi everyone, I have problem's with uploading images via ajax/flash script from uploadify.com. Is there any way to set the session_id for symfony, which will be sent by this script? Thanks in advance.

To pass session id via url, according to documentation you should turn on php variable session.use_trans_sid.
However, this didn't work for me until i changed session.use_cookies and session.name:

Code: Select all

php_flag session.use_cookies off
php_flag session.use_trans_sid on
php_value session.name symfony

This kind of configuration brings up ton of other problems so i'm still looking for acceptable solution, maybe something like this.
Any ideas?

It seems that Joohns solution works quite well. Class from that examle is not compatible with latest sf 1.2 so here's what i come up with:

Code: Select all

class mySessionStorage extends sfSessionStorage
{
  public function initialize($options = null)
  {

    if($this->transSidFor(sfContext::getInstance()->getRequest()))
    {
      $sessionName = isset($options['session_name']) ? $options['session_name'] : 'symfony' ;

      if($value = sfContext::getInstance()->getRequest()->getParameter($sessionName))
      {
        if (sfConfig::get('sf_logging_enabled'))
   {
     sfContext::getInstance()->getEventDispatcher()->notify(new sfEvent($this, 'application.log', array(sprintf('Changing session name "%s" to "%s"', $sessionName, $value))));
   }
        session_name($sessionName);
        session_id($value);
      }
    }
   
    parent::initialize($options);
  }
 
  /**
   * Checks if changing of session id is enabled for current module and action.
   * Enabled pairs are set in "app_storage_trans_sid_for" array.
   *  - To enable specific action, add "moduleName/actionName".
   *  - To enable whole module add "moduleName".
   * @return boolean
   */
  private function transSidFor(sfWebRequest $request)
  {
    $for = sfConfig::get("app_storage_trans_sid_for");
    if(!is_array($for) || !$for)
    {
       return false;
    }
    return in_array($request->getParameter("module"), $for) || in_array($request->getParameter("module")."/".$request->getParameter("action"), $for);
  }
}


Turn on new storage class in factories.yml:

Code: Select all

all:
  storage:
    class: mySessionStorage
    param:
      session_name: symfony

Enable session switching for Uploadify actions (in app.yml):

Code: Select all

  storage:
    trans_sid_for: ["myModule/upload", "myModule/fileCheck"]

Creating Uploadify object:

Code: Select all

  $("#fileUpload1").fileUpload({
    'scriptData': {'<? echo ini_get('session.name') ?>':'<? echo session_id() ?>'},
    'uploader': '<? echo public_path("myDir/uploader.swf") ?>',
    'cancelImg': '<? echo public_path("myDir/close.png") ?>',
    'script': '<? echo url_for("@my_route?action=upload") ?>',
    'checkScript': '<? echo url_for("@my_route?action=fileCheck") ?>',
    'folder': '/',
    'multi': true,
    'displayData': 'speed',
    'simUploadLimit': 2
  });

Hi! I use this plugin in my local machine, but when I try to upload files I receiver an IO Error..
I use the upload.php file providing by the plugin; is it correct?
Thanks

[dyke.ecl]

disturbed Thank'u so much This is great resolution.

However I still got a problem with uploading files. The problem is IO Error #2038( typical problem for uploading files ). It's difficult to debug this kind of problem. I read somewhere that I can tour of mod_rewrite, but it isn't reasonable idea for me. How can I check, what the problem realy is ? ~ ~

I do not use upload.php and check.php - if you gonna use upload.php you are not realy using Symfony in that case.
What you shuld do is a module with actions for upload and file checking (last one is optional), but then you will have to deal with session problem, as explained in previous posts.

Upload works for me with and without mod_rewrite.
Be careful with layout and template in your action - upload request done by Uploadify in some browsers is not registered as XMLHttpRequest (ajax) so layout will be sent by default. You need to force no layout and no template for this action, something like:

Code: Select all

$this->getController()->setRenderMode(sfView::RENDER_NONE);
$this->setLayout(false);

if(/* Upload was successful */)
{
  $this->logMessage("Upload was successful." ;);
  return $this->renderText("1" ;);
}
else
{
  $this->logMessage("Upload was not successful" ;);
  return $this->renderText("0" ;);
}

Check your application logs, see if request is getting to your upload action or there are some errors.
If it gets to action, do some more logging there ~ ~

disturbed solution worked for me, thank you!!

hi!

thanks for the solution, file upload works, but some other things does not:
i'm using jquery ajax, to add links to a post. i'm storing them in the session object, and when the user saves the form, i'm also saving the links and files data to the database, move the files to their final destination, etc.
the point is, when i upload a file, my session object is gone, or at least i cannot access variables i set with getUser()->setAttribute()

i don't really understand why, i edited the mySessionHandler:
$options['session_id'] = $value;
but that did not solve my case.

any ideas? thanks!

Can someone show me how to handle file uploads kn the actions.class.php without using the formValidator? I keep getting HTTP Error with:

Code: Select all

  public function executeUpload(sfWebRequest $request)
  {
    $this->getController()->setRenderMode(sfView::RENDER_NONE);
    $this->setLayout(false);

    $fileName = $this->getRequest()->getFileName('Filedata');
 
    $this->getRequest()->moveFile('Filedata', sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir').'/'.$fileName);
  return $this->renderText("1" ;);   
}


It looks like getFileName is not a valid method? I'm not sure... please let me know.

Thanks! ~ ~

Try using $request->getFiles(...)

Hi!

I tried disturbed solution and I still have no luck.

I'm with sf 1.1..

In order to make sure everything was setup ok, I was using log and it appears that the session_name($sessionName) and session_id($value) are in fact using the correct values.

So when someone uses uploadify to upload a file, the next time he reloads a page or navigate to another page, he's asked to login again.

Any idea?

hi guys, i'm just new to symfony. i was wondering how you manage uploadify worked in symfony?

thanks!

[apulmca2k4]

Same issue as zooli.

Unable to set attributes using

$this->getUser()->setAttribute();

in the action for uploadify to upload files.

Files are uploading correctly but I am unable to add something in session..

Please suggest.

Having Same issue zooli. Did you find any solution for this?

[bytestechnolab]

Same issue as zooli.

Please suggest.

Try 'scriptData': { '<?php echo session_name(); ?>': '<?php echo session_id(); ?>' }, as a parameter to uploadify, it will reinitiate same symfony session that you can set or get existing session data.
