Working With Rails

Upload Progress

=Overview

The upload progress plugin will alter your rails CGI handling to track the uploaded status of multipart/form encoded posts. The plugin will also add helper methods to create an AJAX updating progress bar.

Installing

Run "script/plugin upload_progress" or checkout the source into your plugins folder.

svn checkout http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/plugins/upload_progress

Expand this archive in your RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins directory. The resulting plugin directory should look like:

RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/README.txt
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/Rakefile
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/init.rb
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/public/
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/public/stylesheets/
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/public/stylesheets/upload_progress.css
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/lib/
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/doc/
RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/upload_progress/test/

The stylesheets included in public/stylesheets are used as a guideline for styling your progress bar and status messages. You can copy them directly into your own public/stylesheets folder or copy and paste.
