Pointers for use with autoform?

Open serkandurusoy opened this issue 9 years ago • 13 comments

I'm basically shopping for something that works like https://github.com/yogiben/meteor-autoform-file allowing arbitrary "file" fields on other collections and creating a file input component whose input get inserted into a predefined file collection.

There's none on atmosphere, I'm looking for a very basic solution, but since CollectionFS not being maintained, I think there's potential (22k installs, 1/3 of all collectionfs installs!) for this. So if anyone has started working on one, even privately, I may add in my effort to perhaps make it an officially published package on atmosphere.

I might have something to start from. It's designed as a video uploader for autoform. I built it 10 months ago and haven't touched it in 2 months, so I'll need to take a look at how up to date it is. If no one posts anything better by the time I get home tonight, I'll make a repo and link it here. It will need some work to make it generic as I was under a tight deadline (like always) when I was building it.

Great, I'll take a look and see what we can do to make it more general/abstract

Apologies for the delay but here is the repo https://github.com/AdamSutch/autoform-file-collection The code was embedded in a private project I've been working on so it will not function out of the box, but it's a start. I also haven't created a meteor package before so that will need to be setup as well. I'll probably work on setting that up on the weekend, feel free to point me at resources.

@AdamSutch Can you post some instructions on how to use that link? Are there any plans to make it a atmosphere package? Thanks!

I still have that comment above as an email in my inbox, marked unread and starred, meaning I will get around to taking that code, tweaking it into a package, but I have not yet done that... because life... :(

@serkandurusoy Hi Serkan, I seem to be seeing a lot of you these days :) Thanks for taking a look at it. I'll be happy to contribute when you have a draft. :)

Hey, I also plan on working on this and basing it off of yogiben:autoform-file, where we at with this?

I totally dropped the ball on this one. Meant to begin working on this but other client priorities interfered :(

Hi everyone, I don't personally use autoform, so I can't really contribute directly to this, but if anyone needs help understanding any aspect of file-collection to make the integration work well, I'm happy to assist.

@vsivsi off topic, what are you using for forms?

0o-de-lally avatar May 16 '16 23:05 0o-de-lally

I don't use much in the way of forms. I do mostly scientific visualization work, etc.

Anybody make any progress on this?

Hey guys, looks like we have NO progress on this, right?

Did anyone get this working?
