@Teodor. Thank you for the suggestion. The only worry is always the upload size and the limitations with the Drop Zone... because it does not resize the images beforehand.... yes for me as a "tech savvy" guy knowing how to resize images beforehand its great... BUT.. my clients hardly know how to resize an image... or rename it... yes i know.. then they should not be using it.. BUT TELL THAT TO MY CLIENTS!! hahahah.. eish...
Ill use DropZone anytime.. i do think its a great tool.. I use it all the time..if you have a solution for me @Teodor .. to resize the images before upload... ** see @UKRiggers post below thank you.
Or another way to approach image uploads.... 100 - 500 images... i would appreciate it....
but please take into consideration "im a client and dont know how to decrease the image size".....
These clients take images with high end phones.... 10 - 17MB an image... seriously.....
Now dropzone 200 images.. x 10MB.... my server will time out.. way before then even if i set this to the highest possible POST size
Hence this post.
and this from @UKRiggers
The idea comes from BlueImp’s jQuery File Upload plugin for PHP https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload and in particular
- Client-side image resizing:
Images can be automatically resized on client-side with browsers supporting the required JS APIs.
As an example, this is where the image to be uploaded is automatically resized on the device (mobile or PC) as part of the upload procedure from, say, 8Mb to 300Kb without changing the overall width or height, without cropping the image and without noticeable loss in quality. So no need for user intervention. I have implemented this on various sites and it works very well. It’s ideal for mobile use but just as good for desktop as it
- reduces upload time and bandwidth usage
- minimises storage space on the server
- faster page views when recalled and faster slideshows
- enables quicker downloads
- all without further processing on the server side
It would be a win .. if i can get the file resized.. client side before upload..... then it would not be a problem uploaded the 200 - 500 files.. and will work like a breeze....
You @Teodor always come up with great solutions or ways to tackle a problem... and always manage to approach it in a way my head does not..
