I don't see why you can't do this. However, the detailed answer on "how to" do this depends on countless variables.
Here is a high level suggestion... =========================================== User submits form and is directed to "update status" page An object is created for each of the images and registers with an Observer Each object resizes, saves, whatever the images, and contains the state (uploading, validating, resizing, saving, error) The "update status" page contacts the Observer for the states of the Observables every few seconds -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 11:49 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Is this possible with component methods in cf8? What I'd like to do concerns uploading and processing images which sometimes takes awhile and leaves the user wondering what's happening while they're waiting. If the user is uploading, say 10 photos, and all the photos have to be resized into two different images, renamed, saved, etc., the process can take some time. I was wondering if I could set up a method of process 1 images, then return the name of the image to the user via ajax, with a message such as "Image house1.jpg processed.", then when image two has been uploaded and processed, "Image house2.jpg processed", etc. until all images have been processed. This would keep the user informed of the progress and keep them from worrying that the process was hanging up. So, the question is, can messages (via cfreturn) be sent back to the client multiple times from a method? Or perhaps there's a different way to achieve this? Any suggestions or ideas?
