Topic: Second button for browse dialog
I have a link...
<a id="pickfiles" href="#">Select files</a>...which is used for the browse_button parameter
browse_button : 'pickfiles',How can I have a second link also open the browse dialog?

Re: Second button for browse dialog
Thanks for the link, wasn't able to find it before.
Though I'm not using the queue widget but the custom upload: http://www.plupload.com/example_custom.php
How would this work using this example?
Re: Second button for browse dialog
in the custom uploader
use the variable you used to store the uploader
var up = new plupload.Uploader({...
Re: Second button for browse dialog
Thanks, it works now!
Accidentally also replaced plupload.addEvent to up.addEvent, which gave an error of course.
But restored that variable and it's working like a charm. Thanks again.
Re: Second button for browse dialog
I'm in a situation similar to this.
I've got a list of groups, need to upload contacts to a specific group, i'm trying to trigger the dialog box once a user clicks on a specific group link, which basically means there's a list of dynamic browse buttons, pasting below the links, which displays a list of 5 groups
<a id="pickfiles 1" href="#">Upload File</a>
<a id="pickfiles 2" href="#">Upload File</a>
<a id="pickfiles 3" href="#">Upload File</a>
<a id="pickfiles 4" href="#">Upload File</a>
<a id="pickfiles 5" href="#">Upload File</a>
I'm able to trigger dialog boxes for each of these links but want to fetch the group id which resides besides the id value pickfiles, I've got a way to do this, but it's always returning the value 1(which is the value of first group id) even if i click on the link of a different group, I reckon it's due to assigning the same browse button id to all groups.
Can anyone advise me on a method other than this so that i can fetch the value of each corresponding group properly.

Re: Second button for browse dialog
Did a little test for you and that seems to work. Assuming you also use jquery you can add trigger to the click event on your link.
For example:
You have a hidden input type to store the group id in.
<input type="hidden" name="group_id" id="group_id">Add the trigger to the click event.
$('#a').click(function() {
$('#group_id').val($(this).attr('id'));
});And use the preinit parameter in your Uploader instance.
...
preinit : {
UploadFile: function(up, file) {
up.settings.multipart_params = {
group_id: $('#group_id').val()
}
}
}
...Now you can use $_REQUEST['group_id'] in you upload handler. Perhaps this can be done a bit more smart but the idea should work.
Re: Second button for browse dialog
Igua, thanks for the prompt response.
As you mentioned i'm using a hidden field to hold the group id, but my actual problem is not that, i need a method to differentiate the click events, as of now all click events are linked to the browse button 'pickfiles' and as i've a dynamic list of browse button all clicks are linked to the first browse button, need to differentiate these click events so that i can make sure that this event was launched by the browse button with a particular group id

Re: Second button for browse dialog
Not really sure what you're trying to accomplish and why you couldn't use $('#group_id').val($(this).attr('id')); for this in the method you're calling. You can also use a global javascript variable for this.
Other option I'm thinking about is creating a seperate instance for each link, but this also sounds like an overkill.
Perhaps you can give the piece of code you're trying to build?
