IMCE SWFUpload How to...

I also did not get this module to work, so I changed this issue to critical bug.

I did a clean 6.19 drupal install with only required modules. I tried imce 6.x-1.4 and 6.x-2.0-rc2 but always the same result. (file-input tag is hidden only upload-button is visible)

please make this module work, since it is a promissing solution for imce multi-file upload..

thanx for your work so far!

looks like this module is fake

@luciuz This module isn't fake. Mike did an amazing job.

I think everyone is simply missing the "complete" documentation because there are so many different modules involved to make the perfect Wysiwyg / Bulk Image "all-in-one" editing solution.

To make everything work you'll need the following modules:
CCK & FieldField
jQp
IMCE
IMCE_SWFUpload
IMCE Wysiwyg API bridge (Makes IMCE available as plugin for client-side editors integrated via Wysiwyg API.)
Wysiwyg

Here's my documentation:

Remember: SWFUpload.... IMCE_SWFUpload won't work unless you install SWFUpload

1. Download and enable Wysiwyg.
(http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg)

A.) If you don't a 'libraries' directory yet, create one.
(sites/all/libraries)

B.) Download TinyMCE to your libraries folder. (Install instructions included with Wysiwyg)
(sites/all/tinymce)

2. Download and enable IMCE.
(http://drupal.org/project/imce)

3. Download and enable IMCE Wysiwyg API bridge module. (This connects the Wysiwyg and IMCE module together.)
(http://drupal.org/project/imce_wysiwyg)

Now, you can finally move onto installing the bulk upload option provided by this module (IMCE_SWFUpload).

You'll need CCK & FileField as dependencies.

4. Download CCK & FileField module modules.
(http://drupal.org/project/cck)
(http://drupal.org/project/filefield)

5. Download and enable the jQuery Plugin Handler (jQp) module. (This module is required for loading the SWFUpload javascript library.)
(http://drupal.org/project/jqp)

6. Create a new directory called 'swfupload' inside the 'libraries' folder.
(sites/all/libraries)

7. Download the SWFUpload 2.2.0.1 release.
(http://code.google.com/p/swfupload/downloads/list)

8. Copy the files 'swfupload.swf' and 'swfupload.js' to the swfupload folder
inside the libraries folder. The end result will read:
sites/all/libraries/swfupload/swfupload.js
sites/all/libraries/swfupload/swfupload.swf

9.) Download and enable SWFUpload. (Beta8 works!)
(http://drupal.org/project/swfupload)

10.) AND Finally now we can download and enable IMCE_SWFUpload
(http://drupal.org/project/imce_swfupload)

I'd highly recommend that you follow the install instructions that are included with each individual module. If you install them, in the order that I listed, and upload all of the libraries; you will have great success.

Don't forget to setup appropriate user permissions to allow them to use all of these modules

Awesome Tip included with SWFUpload:
On the field configuration screen set the "Permitted upload file extensions"
to include the image types you will allow users to upload.

Grant the permission to "upload files with swfupload" to the appropriate roles.

I've attached a screen shot showing everything is working great with the latest versions of these modules and Drupal 6.22.
