Hello again, I've managed to hack together an uploader, but I need a progress bar to go with it. I ended up using FTP to upload, and got a way to find the progress while it's uploading. I split that off into another function in the controller, which is all well and good.
The problem is that I need to repeatedly call the how_finished function while the file is uploading. The form goes to the uploading function, so I need another way to repeatedly call how_finished. The best way seems to be with Javascript and AJAX, but I can't find a good way of setting up and calling a Javascript function to get the information from the controller. Looking at other Ruby progress bars (http://railsillustrated.com/screencast-file-uploads-progress-in-rails-passenger.html) it seems to be possible to call the controller with Javascript, but that also requires a separate module for Apache that doesn't work for FTP uploads. I've been looking around at JSON, but I don't really understand it or how to use it to do what I want. I'm pretty sure I have all the information I need in the program, the problem is getting it all together and I'm not sure if that's even possible. Does anyone have ideas? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
