Fancyuploader or Swif or whatever...

[landsknecht]

I am playing around with building a component in 1.5rc4 and I need the admin end to have image upload abilities.  There is NOTHING in the docs that I can find that helps with this.  I've stumbled onto something in the codebase called fancyupload but can't figure out how to use it.

I just need a kick in the right direction here, any advice is welcome. 

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Ive just stumbled across your post.  Looks like im doing the same thing you are. 
I'm not sure if your trying to achive the same thing as me.  Im attempting to allow an admin to upload images that dont get uploaded via the mediamanager into the content, but just get uploaded to the server and a record stored in the database so that i can place them wherever i want on my frontend.

Dont know how you got on, I have managed to add another form beneath my adminForm which uses fancyupload to upload images.  The upload is working fine, I am able to create uniqueids(relatively) for each image, then get a callback to refresh my second form via ajax.
Im still working on the callback bit, but the upload works.

Theres too much to explain here, but I could send you my work in progress if your interested.

Thanks
Richard
