Modification Name: PhpBB3 Real Upload Progress Bar mod

Author: ServA1

Author Website: http://www.serva1.net

Modification Description:: This mod will give your forum uploaders a progress bar that really works unlike the prepackaged progress bar included in the subsilver theme which ‘pretends’ to show you upload progress. You also get additional upload details such as percent uploaded, upload speed, average upload speed and estimated time till the upload has finished. The Upload Progress Bar makes use of the lightweight JQuery javascript library to display the information to the browser and for maximum efficiency it only gets called when a user makes a post in your forum.

Modification Version: 2.0.2

Requirements: uploadprogress.so must be installed and enabled on your server. See this post - http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... #p13112615
Make sure you are also calling JQuery in your forum. You can do this either in the overall_header.html or if you only want it called when someone uploads, do it at the very top of posting_attach_body.html

Features:

• Working progress bar
  Percentage uploaded
  Upload speed
  Average Upload Speed
  Estimated time until upload finishes
  Upload size and amount

Demo URL: NA

No not at all, I just forgot to update the JQuery i was using from when I created the mod awhile back. I've just updated the mod to use the latest JQuery (1.3.2) minimized version now. No changes were required in the original code.

Get the latest version of JQuery, rename it to jquery.js and upload it to your /js/ directory. It should work just fine

Anyway thanks for the kind remarks fellaz, enjoy the mod.

Great work, going to try it out!

Updated the mod to version 1.0.1

• Changed $GET requests to use the request_var function according to PhpBB coding guidelines.

• Updated the install.xml file to better fit PhpBB mod coding standards.

Looks great. Subsilver2 edits would be very nice

looks great .. I will try it soon

I' ve already had a jquery-1.3.2min.js in my JS folder. So I can leave this part, am I correct ?

Too bad it requires uploadprogress PEAR module, which in its turn requires PHP 5.2

Just a suggestion (maybe you can't/won't implement it anymore, since you're RC ..), what if this PEAR module is not enabled/installed? Couldn't there be provided any alternatives, like Java/Flash bars?

Anyway, great work already!

Yes just change the path and filename to where your jquery file is in /styles/prosilver/template/posting_layout.html (around line 2)

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>

Or you can delete that whole line if your current JQuery is already called on your posting page, you don't need it loaded twice

Actually there is a patch to make it work with older defunct versions of php. I do state it requires uploadprogress and all it's dependencies, whatever they may be, to be installed PEAR installed on your server isn't going to hurt anything. I originally developed this mod on php4, it just takes a bit more work to get uploadprogress.so installed and running so you can use this mod. Anyway thanks for the kudos DeViAnThans3, appreciated

if you have no direct server access, this mod was worthless

Hey it's captain obvious! that's right it's all stated in the REQUIREMENTS, unless your host is prepared to install uploadprogress.so or it is already installed then bad luck if you don't have server access
