File uploading

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We need a solution for file uploading. Different scenarios, different 
requirements. 

There is no point making a file uploading app. All we need is to have an option 
to attach multiple files of different sizes (possibly large) to an order.

1. A product has no price. A user orders it, uploads files with the order, the 
admin checks the files, sets the price, the user pays it (HOW?).

2. A product has a price + options. The files are only attachments and have no 
effect on the price.

3. A product has a price + options. The files are attachments, but the admin 
may look at them and want to adjust the price. The user gets an updated invoice 
and pays (again, how?)

We need to understand the workflow, configuration, etc and get enough info to 
write help posts.

What we need with file upload is a multi-file option. A user should be able to 
upload more than one large file as part of a product / item before adding it to 
cart. Magento allows uploading multiple files, but having a huge POST isn't 
idea.

We need add a feature to our w2p extension to somehow allow uploading files 
asynchronously before an item is added to the cart. The file are uploaded one 
by one in a queue as implemented by 
http://code.google.com/p/web-to-print-scripts/source/browse/#svn/branches/bulk_u
pload

Once all initiated uploads are completed the item can be added to the cart. Let 
the user click on add to cart before the uploads are finished, but defer the 
form submission and give them a warning msg "It will be added to cart once all 
files are uploaded.".

The uploaded files should show in the item the same way a normally uploaded 
files would show.

All queue functionality should be implemented as in the original script: add to 
queue, cancel, show status, etc. 

The script should be activated only for ... We need to think when the script 
actually activates and where normal Magento uploading remains in place.

Uploaded files are to stay where they were uploaded until removed manually. If 
someone uploads a file, but doesn't submit an order then the file just sits 
there.
We'll think of tracking and cleaning up later.

Part [3] from the initial task needs to be a separate issue. We won't deal with 
price changes at this stage.

Files can only be downloaded by the admin of the store, not the user. The user 
should see file names.

Further simplification: all files are to be uploaded asynchronously if creating 
a new field type is not an easy option.

We need close off this one.
The stumbling block is the queue. There should be a new issue posted for it.
Let's test it and see what else doesn't work in the current form and shape.

Many changes made to JS to accommodate for required features and Magento 
specifics.

Remove "upload new file button"
It is redundant. Start processing it on selection.

I had 3 files in the queue

1: uploading / cancel
2: ... / remove
3: ... / remove

I clicked REMOVE on file 2. It removed the file, but started uploading file 3 
without waiting for file 1 to finish. Obviously not the way to do it.

"upload new file button" has its function, it checks if there is upload going, 
and if yes just adds new form and hides old one, if no queue it starts upload 
and adds next form. If Auto start is implemented, there will be no way to 
change you mind especially on first file. If you choose not correct PSD you 
will have to cancel and start over. With button, no upload starts without user 
decision.
@16 will look into it.

The button is part of the past. It is gone. RIP button...

Quote from comment #2:
"Once all initiated uploads are completed the item can be added to the cart. 
Let the user click on add to cart before the uploads are finished, but defer 
the form submission and give them a warning msg "It will be added to cart once 
all files are uploaded."

- I clicked on the "Add to cart" button before the files finished uploading. 
Got this err (cart.png). Files were not pu on hold with a notification msg but 
instead forced to add to cart page.

---------------------------
Quote from comment #5
"Part [3] from the initial task needs to be a separate issue. We won't deal 
with price changes at this stage."

- Part 1 also includes price changes, doesn't it? If a user uploads a file on a 
free product and the admin is to set the price after seeing what the user 
uploaded.

---------------------------
Apart from those:
1. There is no Upload button
2. Queue works fine
3. Users only see file names and can't download the files
4. Files are available to admin
5. JS works in Opera as well
therefore, the rest seems to be fine and the issue can be closed with the 
remaining issues (and new ones) moved to separate tasks.
