[Release - Gamma] Psuedo-progress bar for uploading attachments

[tubedogg]

Firstly I would like to apologize to Kier for ripping the progress.gif file off his site...but I searched and searched and searched and could find NOTHING to use for it, so there it is. Make your own if you can. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Anyway this is a pseudo-progress bar for when you are uploading attachments, to show that something is happening.

Real easy, edit one template then upload the attached gif file and it works a treat.

In the newattachment template, right above </head>, place this code:<script language="JavaScript">
function render(t) {
document.getElementById(t).style.display="";
}
</script>
Next find
<td align="$stylevar[right]"><input type="submit" class="button" name="upload" value="$vbphrase[upload]" style="width:70px" /></td>
and replace it with
<td align="$stylevar[right]"><input type="submit" class="button" name="upload" value="$vbphrase[upload]" style="width:70px" onClick="render('progress')" /></td>
Finally, look down a few lines and find
</table>
</fieldset>
and replace it with
</table>
<div align="center" style="display:none;" id="progress"><img src="progress.gif" border="0"></div>
</fieldset>

Save and you're done. This should work in IE5+, Mozilla, Firebird, Netscape 7, and most other modern browsers, though I have only tried it in IE and Firebird.

Edit: Instructions are now also in an attached text file, the progress.gif file you need is also attached.

Very nice :D

Doesn't seem to work for me. Uploading fails.

[tubedogg]

Do you get any errors? What browser are you using?

[imported_Skinny]

Hi mate. Ive tried using it with IE 6.0 and Firebird 0.7.
Having now looked at this, I have a feeling its not the mod that doesn't work.

Because I reverted back to the original style and am still getting the same error which is that the file simply failed.

Hi tubedogg, nice to see you over here. Can you put the modification in a .txt file? :) thanks.

[idwf]

works a treat!

[imported_Skinny]

Yep, its working great for me now. The problem I was having ahd nothing to do with the mod, it was a known error in the functions file.
Thanks again :)

[Tony G]

Great mod tubedogg, and good to see you here. But yeah, I second Brad.loo's statement of putting it into a document file. ^^;

[idwf]

I have the same problem :(

WinXP, IE6

[PGU]

same for me XP home IE 6

[SirSteve]

Nice touch indeed. Thanks.

[Dart1337]

That isn't an animated gif?

[tubedogg]

That isn't an animated gif?
Yes it is...?!?

It worked fine for me on IE6 SP1/WinXP Pro...? Does the image show at all, or is it just not animating?

[Dart1337]

Well, it isn't animating. I'm running IE6/ SP1/WinXP Home. I went through the trouble of making my own animated gif and uploaded it and now it isn't animating. I wonder if it's a setting with ZoneAlarm somewhere. *mumbles*

[sabret00the]

yep it is, turn animation on :)

[gmarik]

Like could somebody try to make not a pseudo, but a real upload bar, with real %?

[matthepepe]

The gif doesnt play it loads the first frame and stops..... kind of odd... this is w/ IE6

[PAINTBALLM]

gif loads first frame, and doesn't animate any after that. I am on XP PRO with IE6. I have tested in mozilla, still no luck.

[imported_chewy]

I have done a new progress graphic, its the same sort of colour scheme as the default gamma release. I did it with flash so I have added the .swf file as well as the gif ( the .swf is better quality).

same here again xp home and ie6

[Elmer]

same here again xp home and ie6
me too xp pro and ie6

I agree, it is possible if you use some coding from dynamicdrive's progress bar.

[canadian06]

I was wondering about a putting a some words that will show up with every file that is posted...can someone tell me how to add something like this...
