First of all, great module. Really really great. This is allowing me a level of user interaction I never thought possible in my Drupal site. In fact, this is my single favorite addition to the site in months.

However, a fairly small point. When users upload images, after the initial upload, while the images are being processed, the Next Step button appears. If the user clicks the Next Step button before the "Images in que are being processed" bar disappears, then not all the images show up and those that do show up do not all have their titles filled in.

Is there a way of delaying the appearance of the "Next Step" Button, perhaps displaying something like "Please wait while the images are being processed", so that the user cannot click the button too early?

PS, tested on both IE7 and Firefox 3.0.5, with flash version 10.

You could change the text "Images in queue are processed..." by using translation module. Just search for this sentence and replace it.
I know that you would prefer having the button "Next step" changed if all images were uploaded. The same for me, but I didn't found a good working solution, right now. But of course, I will work on it.
Thank you that you like this module, it's very encouraging.

I will mark this as postponed because I really want to work on a solution. Of course, patches and advices are welcome.

I will help you think about this because I wouldn't mind looking under-the-hood of this module to see how it works. I am fairly new to coding, so I doubt if I will be able to come up with a solution.

I have thought of a possible work-around, which should work for the time being.

I am going to CSS the "Next Step" Button so that it is positioned under the progress bar, that way it will not be visible until the progress bar disappears. Not sure if it will work yet, but will report back.

Another idea: would it be possible to integrate the FUpload module with the Popups module?

We could then have the progress bar in a "popup" window.

I'm not sure if this is feasible, I am a little out of my depth, but I just came across the module and thought it might be of some use.

PS. I had difficulty doing the CSS theming mentioned above. The animated gif used to create the scrolling effect is a background image and I can't seem to give it a Z-index.

Popups module would make it too complicated at the moment. I will try to fetch the progress status by another why. Nevertheless, I'm afraid that this would raise up too much the program code (of JavaScript) compared to its function.

Any update on this? I am getting ready to roll my site out and will have to go without this module if I can't get a way around this.

I am willing to make a small financial contribution (say $50) to see it completed if necessary, as I really like this module and would love to have it on my site.

I will try my best to finish it as soon as possible.

Fixed in new version of Image FUpload.
CCK Integration also done in new version 3.0 (alpha). Have fun, but don't forget to run update.php if you update from a previous version.

Thanks Grandcat,

It's very kind of you to get that done so quick.

I will transfer the money by the end of the month (slightly skint at the moment.)

Good Vibrations.
