YAHOO UI library components in OPS

I'm using the YAHOO UI library in many of my applications and noticed
that most of the components are actually now included in Orbeon but not
in all pages. When are these loaded (with XForms?) and which components
are automatically included? Just want to avoid loading them twice under
different URLs.
I'm particularly interested in the connection, events and tree control
components.
thanks
<p/>

Pascal,

We are currently using it only for the slider component that you can see
here:

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/goto-example/xforms-flickr-resize

Yes, if you don't use XForms NG, the JS files won't be loaded at all.
Inclusions used to be done in the theme but are now done by the XForms
engine.

Currently, we are not very smart, in that we add all the JS files
whether a component is used or not. But in the future, we would like to
be smarter about that, of course.

XForms upload control

Hi All,

2 questions.

1. Is it possible with Xforms to upload all files from one directory?

2. Is it possible with Xforms to browse the actual server directory and pick and choose files (which xforms will then recognize the files chosen so now I can do further work with what the user selected)

Thanks,

Josh

RE: XForms upload control

Josh,

Are you picking files from the users PC or from the Server. If you are picking from the users PC I believe the upload control is the only way, this has to be done one file at a time. I believe for security reasons there is no other way!

RE: XForms upload control

Ryan,

Yes, I will be retrieving from the users PC. I was hoping they could select a bunch of files and then XForms could upload them. However, as you mentioned this does not seem to be possible...

So, unless there is a way to do this, I guess I will have to have the user upload all the files to the server by themselves. So now, my second question is, how do I have XForms do upload and browse the "actual server" directory structures.

Thanks,

Josh

RE: XForms upload control

Not sure of the names of the directory processor, but its in the Orbeon Docs, also a file-serializer will save files

Josh,

This is a limitation of the HTML: you can only upload one file per
upload control. With XForms you can easily create a UI where the user
clicks on "add file" and an additional upload control is added in the
page. But the user will still need to do "add file", and select the
file for each file to upload. This can work if you have 5 files to
upload, but it won't be a suitable UI if you have 50 files to upload.
Unfortunately again, this is a limitation of HTML, and there is really
no way around it.

It is the directory scanner. And here is the documentation:

RE: XForms upload control

In reply to this post by Josh Joy

Suggestion here -- could you get the user to zip the files and then
upload the zip file?

Your problem then would be unzipping them on the server. I think you
would have to write your own processor to do that -- or maybe modify the
file processor?

I like this suggestion, and am in fact surprised that it is not more
widely implemented by web sites that allow users to upload data
(Flickr, Yahoo! Briefcase, ...). Maybe the reason being that depending
on your audience, most users just won't know how to zip up a set of
files.

A separate processor sounds like a good idea.
