[extension by plg] Upload Form
Based on discussion started in [Forum, topic 15264] Shutter photo gallery software, web based upload, dynamic sorting and on many user feedbacks, it's clear that Piwigo needs a simpler way to add photos.
We are not removing the existing methods (ie pLoader and resize+FTP+synchro), we're just adding a new one :-)
* resize+FTP+synchro is nice for advanced users, this is really powerful and is one the reason why Piwigo is relevant when you manage thousands photos
* pLoader is nice and getting better at every revision, but many users don't like to download a software on their desktop
Curent revision is 2.0.j, what it already does:
* Uploadify (each file is a distinct upload, pushing up the upload limit + progress bar)
* automatic generation of "web sized" + thumbnail pictures
* up to 10 files at once (with the zip upload, it may mean more than 10 photos)
* ability to create a new category on the fly
* ability to set the privacy level on the fly
* upload a zip file containing photos
* easy links to manage uploaded photos
* configuration settings dedicated tab (resize dimensions and image quality)
What's in the TODO list:
* add configuration settings (like default privacy level or behavior for high definition pictures)
* improve the usability (partly with advanced widgets like sliders for dimensions/quality)
Compared to [extension by cinpou] Uploader +, [extension by plg] Upload Form is not for users (yet) but only for administrators. I've used the new storage organization also used for photos added with pLoader (ie only virtual categories + automatic filenames)
This plugin will be integrated in next Piwigo major release (2.1), but I provide it as plugin to receive as much feedback as possible.

With this new upload, the server upload limit is for each file, not for the sum of your files. So if you have a max_file_size of 5MB you can upload 10 files of 4MB each.

I reproduce the problem with simple accents. If I use more complex characters like "€", it's replaced by "20AC".
P@t has tried to solve the problem, but it seems to be related to Flash. I'll search for help on the uploadify forum.

To improve usability, I'm changing the "Minimum privacy level" into "Who can see these photos?" (just like in pLoader).
Question 1 : should I use a radio button OR a select list? (or do you have a better idea?)
Question 2 : should I display:
Everybody Contacts, Friends, Family, Admins Friends, Family, Admins Family, Admins Admins
(needs a mental effort to see that permission uses a pyramidal system)
OR
Everybody Admins, Family, Friends, Contacts Admins, Family, Friends Admins, Family Admins
Users, please your opinion :-)

On MacOSX Snow Leopard, multiple upload doesn't work with Firefox 3.5 but works fine with Safari (4.0.3 is currently installed)

Question 1 : radio button
Question 2 :
Everybody Contacts, Friends, Family, Admins Friends, Family, Admins Family, Admins Admins
(needs a mental effort to see that permission uses a pyramidal system): Yes
But if translation is longer than English, the user will understand immediately the hierarchy and how it works.

Another version of the Upload Form, here comes 2.0.j:
* [Bugtracker] ticket 1409

* [Bugtracker] ticket 1435
* add Czech (Česky) thanks to webprostor-hosting
Note: I would have liked to use jQuery UI sliders for resize dimensions and
image quality BUT I can't even find the documentation of the very old version
of jQuery UI we use. I'll implement theses widget when integrating UploadForm
into trunk (with jQuery + jQuery UI updated).

Hi,
is it possible to make the upload form available for non admin users? I have the community plugin already installed.
A checkbox to make a newly created catergory private would also be nice (in pLoader too) :P.
