Drag&Drop about bootstrap-filestyle HOT 4 CLOSED

The plugin is just to customize the input file, it will not upload a plugin. You are the one to apply the extra functionality.

from bootstrap-filestyle.

It's not about upload. It's about selecting the file. For example, native HTML input type="file" supports Drag-n-Drop in Firefox (maybe in other browsers too), but bootstrap-filestyle doesn't support it

Any news on this one? It will be really useful to have drag & drop available for all browsers

Hi.

I manage to get this beahviour working (native selection with drag & drop in browsers, without ajax or async uploads) with some minor tweaks to the js, following this idea http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html.

I'm not very good with git so I will paste the changes here. They are only minor style changes for the bootstrap-filestyle.js version 1.2.1. For simplicity replace lines 243 to 255 with these

            _self.$elementFilestyle = $('<div class="bootstrap-filestyle input-group"  style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 1;">' + html + '</div>');
            _self.$elementFilestyle.find('.group-span-filestyle').attr('tabindex', "0").keypress(function(e) {
            if (e.keyCode === 13 || e.charCode === 32) {
                _self.$elementFilestyle.find('label').click();
                    return false;
                }
            });

            // hidding input file and add filestyle
            _self.$element.css({
                '-moz-opacity': 1,
                'filter': 'alpha(opacity: 1)',
                'opacity': 0,
                'position': 'relative',
                'text-align': 'right',
                'z-index': 2
            }).attr('tabindex', "-1").addClass('form-control').wrap('<div style="position: relative;"></div>').after(_self.$elementFilestyle);

This works for me in IE 11, Chrome, Firefox and Safari for Windows (I don't have a Mac or older IE versions to test).

In my app I also add these lines to avoid leaving the page if the user wrongly try to drag & drop to a "not" input file, as the browser will try to open the file leaving your current page. I know it's not the puporse of this library, but I put it here cause I think is related.

$(document).on("dragover drop", function(e) {
  if (!$(e.target).is("input[type='file']")) {
    e.preventDefault();  //don't navigate to file on drop (if the target isn't an input type file) 
  }
});

Is an almost global denied to all drag&drop events as my app doesn't need any of these except for the file inputs, you will need to adjust this in your app. Here another link that could help for that http://stackoverflow.com/a/32044456.

Hope it helps anybod
