Synopsis:
=========

The ajax_upload module adds a file upload widget to Xataface that uses AJAX.


Features:
=========

- Adds the ajax_upload widget type for use in a Xataface application.
- Will work with any container field (i.e. file upload fields where the files
are stored on the file system).
- AJAX uploading of files.
- Will work inside grid widget (so you can now have unlimited file uploads to a form).
- LightBox preview of images.
- Progress bar to track upload progress.
- Delete or replace files in field.


Requirements:
=============

- Xataface 2.0 or higher


Installation:
=============

1. Copy the ajax_upload directory into the modules directory of either your application or Xataface.
2. Add the following to the [_modules] section of your conf.ini file:

modules_ajax_upload=modules/ajax_upload/ajax_upload.php


Usage:
======

This module provides the ajax_upload widget type that can be used in place of the file
widget. E.g. If you have a field that you used to use for file uploads with configuration
like:

[myfield]
Type=container


You can change it to use the ajax_upload widget by adding:

widget:type=ajax_upload

to the fields.ini configuration. E.g.

[myfield]
Type=container
widget:type=ajax_upload


Limitations:
============

- Does not work on BLOB fields yet. Only container fields.


Support:
