OverviewFluid's Uploader can be integrated into a learning content management system, such as ATutor. Files are uploaded for several purposes such as uploading images for teaching material, student-submitted assignments, and audio tutorial files. The integration of Fluid's Uploader improves the user experience by allowing for multiple file uploads along with the progress bar and pause/resume features. ATutor aims to integrate Fluid's Uploader into its File Manager and have it ready for its next release (ATutor 1.6.2). ImplementationFluid's Uploader script is called by the File Manager which is used in several places in ATutor, such as: (logged in to an instructor account) - Content Editor -> File Manager
- Manage -> Tests -> Edit -> File Manager
Starting from ATutor 1.6.2, the entire source code of the Fluid Package is installed under /jscripts/fluid-components in the ATutor installation directory. In previous releases, only files from /fluid-components/js of the Fluid Package were installed directly in /jscripts and did not include folders such as /css and /swfupload. InitializationWhen using the Fluid scripts, they need to be loaded and initialized in the header of a page. This is done by saving the necessary tags to the $_custom_head variable (in /tools/filemanager/index.php), which gets passed to /tools/filemanager/top.php to be written from the appropriate header include file. Most of the HTML code being used is borrowed from the sample-code provided by the Fluid Package in /sample-code/uploader/inline/uploader.html with changes made to paths and settings. |
