Image Uploader and Drupal

in Aurigma Forge, Image Uploader
posted by Andrew on 13 March 2009, 22:34

Hello,

Today I was amazed to learn that Image Uploader is popular enough to cause open-source community to create applications which use Image Uploader. I have discovered an Image Uploader based addon for Drupal - very popular open-source CMS. It is called Aurigma Uploader for ImageField. It allows to upload files as attachments to the pages and stories posted on the website.  This addon was submitted to the Drupal website by Aaron Wolfe.

Although this addon is pretty raw (I had to modify the source code to get it working, and it still displayed some warnings), it was great to learn that such addon exists. I believe it will be improved and people will find it useful.

I had an idea about series of addons for various open-source CMSes, but unfortunately we had not enough resources to get involved into it deeply. I am glad to know that open-source community finds it interesting to do it.

By the way, if Aaron or any other person involved into this addon development need any assistance with it, we will be happy to help. Just let us know.

Please develop a wordpress plugin, that would be great!

Thomas, the wordpress plugin is a great idea. In fact we already made an attempt to create one, but it was not good enough.

I have a number of ideas how to make Image Uploader convenient for blogging. I will try to create a prototype such plugin on some of nearest weekends. I will post about it.

As for showing how to use it - I agree that it requires some demonstration, because it is not quite obvious how to start working with Image Uploader due to the quite complicated nature of Drupal. I will post about it a bit later. Maybe it even makes sense to prepare a videocast.

If integration with imagefield gets to the point where it's usable on a production site, i'll happily buy an aurigma licence; the other image uploading options in drupal are pretty weak.

I'm glad to see there is support for other CMSes out there. In particular I'd like to see support for Joomla.
