Hi Angela,

You need to make sure the extensions of the files that you are trying to upload are added within the array of allowed extensions, the current code only supports images and docs. Also check the mime type is supported by your CI version and that it is included.

Hi Jacob, not following here, the form_open_multipart actually creates an action that POSTs the form to the controller called Upload and relays it to the index method of the controller. As for multipart forms, you will find more info here.

It sounds good, you can code the resizing bit with GD or ImageMagick too, if thats installed and working on your server

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. Like Althalos, I also need to process (rename, resize, make a thumb and store the paths in a database.) But, I’m a little confused on how to go about that exactly….shoot, wait, I just reread the post from Althalos for the 100th time and I think I might get it now. Does the flow go like this:

1. Each time an image is uploaded to the server using Uploadify, the uploadify function is called in the controller.

2. When the controlled function is called you set up all the normal image manipulations and database inserts.

Does that sound about right?

Thanks again,

Josh

Hi! I implemented this code and it works fine with images and docs but whenever i’m trying to upload a video file, the video is not uploaded. it does not return any error. i thought maybe it was a routing problem but when i changed the file extension accepted for that directory, it uploaded well in that directory. why can’t video files be uploaded?

Hi Vamsi,

You may be able to hack and make it work, I am not aware of any other way to make it work since uplodify uses its own script to doing so, but I may be wrong, the new version may let you add a custom function to do so?

Hi M,

Think the issue is that the javascript library is not being loaded correctly. Did you set the path right?
