Editor: Inline Editing with blueimp file upload

tdk

Hi Allan,
Is it possible to have a the inline editor use blueimp's dropzone capability so a user can drag a document over the "Upload" cell which in turn uploads the file?

| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 |
-----------------------------------------------
| Column1   | Column2   | Upload1    |  
| Column1   | Column2   | Upload2    |  

Regards,
Tim

Yes that should be quite possible, although the integration for it would need to be written.

There are two ways it could work:

1. Using inline editing - you'd need to create a custom field type plug-in. Then a click on the cell would activate the upload action allowing click and drag.
2. If you want it to always be draggable you'd need to implement the drop zone and then have that interface with Editor.

Worth keeping in mind that the upload field type that is built in supports drop and drag upload as well, which would make option 1 above fairly trivial.

Allan, I didn't think the upload field worked with inline editing?
