Photo Upload (Manage Attachments) with drag and drop features
 

I want to purchase but only if there is one tiny little mod I can add.

I don't like the popup for uploading attachments. I would love for something more I don't know, ajax kinda smooth like drag and drop from a My Computer window and maybe an unlimited amount of files at a time?

If possible, a way for it to work around the common 60 second timeout for most hosting companies like godaddy.

I would gladly pay an extra $100+ for such an addon.

Simply drag and drop attachments into a new post or the manage attachments popup, it automatically queues up the list for upload and uploads one at a time avoiding a 60 second PHP timeout.

If someone will even custom code this for me, I wouldn't mind paying for it. Let me know either way.

Currently nothing like that exisits for vBulletin that is released, or advertised anyway. I've been looking for the same for a while too.

Sometimes you can add things to your .htaccess to work around such problems.

What about the rest of it though? The timeout is kinda the least of the problems there.

I do not think it is possible, even with AJAX, as "drap-and-drop" ability is really, non-existent in HTML.

with MooTools you can have drag&drop, but that ajax engine is not included in vBulletin and will never be, because Jelsoft is using a competitor for the ajax engine... but you can request someone to do it, if you already know what you want and are ready to pay for an unexistant code.

I doubt that MooTools includes Drag'n'Drop outside the Browser Window to the Browser Window.

As far as I know that is impossible to do without additional - Operating-System depending - Software.

I haven't taken the time to learn ajax at all but I've seen what its capable of so I was assuming it was possible.

Okay moving past the drag and drop also.... How about simply one file browser and allowing for multiple selections. Press OK and it adds to the upload list. You hit Browse and you can select even more in case you need to add from multiple folders on your computer. Then hit Upload and it uploads them.

I just need someone that is savvy enough to integrate that with VB.

The solution you've linked to is based on flash and ajax. The point is that there are quite a lot of people surfing the web with disabled javascript, not installed flash plugin or security programs (virus-scanners, malware-scanners) disabling file-access.

While this is no harm for some "eye-candy" it can harm the usability if you need this prerequisites for crucial functions.

There might be such a hack or you may find somebody integrating such a solution to vB, but there will be definitly some unsatisfied users.. that's my point of view.

I don't care about compatibility. If they don't have flash, they can find another website to play on. I'm not going to leave my website a dinosaur so the guys with the $15 computer can enjoy my bulletin board on their crappy dialup.

So no, compatibility isn't an issue and I'm still willing to pay for this mod.

All that one above needs it flash 8 which just above everyone has installed, around 90% of internet users would be a good guess
