Yes, but for general case it will require lots changes.
To implement this it will require: XHR2 and FileAPI support (IE 10+), or alternatively this can be done using plugins like flash.
Another problem is image versions descriptions - now it is oriented to work on server side using Image component, and it is hard(and unnecessary, from my point view) to reimplement all this features on client side.
Also one of features of gallery manager is preserving of original image - for possibility to add new image versions in future(it is useful in typical case where I am using this extension).
So, probably this feature will be implemented in some future version that will be almost complete rewrite in comparison to current one(now I am working on a project with some client-side image manipulations).
Any way, if you really need it - fork repository, and add this functionality… If it is required, I can help you with some advice…
In general it would be something similar, but this code have following problems:
upload queue and memory management - image manipulation will require not only CPU time, but also memory… So it is not efficient to convert all images and start uploading at once(more over, form my experience - there would be only near five active connections, and due to browser optimisations only few of them would be actively transmitting data). another problem is concurrency with all other ajax calls from you page(they would be required to wait for uploads to finish, in case of the same domain name)… So you need to write upload manager that will sequentially convert and upload images.
I installed your extension today, and it really works great! Thanks for your great work!
Is there a way to just view the pictures, without "managing" them? So is there a frontend for the users, which simply display all the images? Or do I have to code it myself using the models and so on?
It looks like you are tring to manage gallery of not existing product (model is not saved into database, so there is no gallery because there is no object where to attach it…)
The way how gallery behaviour is working is:
on a first save(after behaviour was added to model) it creates gallery, with provided configurations, for a model and saves its id in specified field
when you are rendering GalleryManager widged created gallery is used to load initial list of photo and to configure widget
after widget is renderd it can be used to manage gallery by "talking" to GalleryController using Id of an gallery
when model is deleted from database Gallery behaviour will remove related gallery and all images in it
look at extension source code - it is not too complicated, but this would make it much more clear - how extension works
read topics in this thread - I believe, that almost every common issue is covered here.
If you still have questions ask there, but please ask questions that can be answered(if do not understood something concreate, or want to achive something and need an advice, and so on… but not like this one (for me it sounds literally like: "I have done something weird. What shall I do next?")
Problem why that code is not working, is not about extension… it is because you are not understanding basic concepts how yii framework works: you should not call $this->widget from controller - you should do this in view that should be rendered using CController::render method, othervise widget would not be able to register styles and scripts using Yii::app()->clientScript
Better remove that comment from extension page - it is question, not a comment… it is not about an extension, it is completely useless for anyone…
/**

public function actionAjaxUpload($gallery_id = null)

$model = new GalleryPhoto();
$model->gallery_id = $gallery_id;
$imageFile = CUploadedFile::getInstanceByName('image');
$model->file_name = $imageFile->getName();
$model->save();

}
Is the image stored on the server folder under gallery folder?
I checked that the image name is stored in the gallery_photo table but when I checked the gallery folder I see images but they are with different name…
Any idea how to save the images using your extension onto a specific directory in the server?
I have read all the instruction steps but still i am unable to understand it please help me how to use this extention as i want to give functionality to create and add gallery imgaes . I am soory for being foolish but still i need to apply this extenion . Urgern
I dont understand what do you men by this
1.Checkout source code to your project, for example to ext.galleryManager.
2.Install and configure image component
5.Add GalleryController to application or module controllerMap.
[size=3] i have any question. for image component extension tar gz after extract, where the folder was placed and what the folder name ?? . Thanks[/size]
Excuse Me, Sir. I have tried the steps that have been given, but when it will be uploaded there was an error. how to handle it ? Help me, please. Thanks
