Hi,

WFU 2.16 was showing a blank site when used together with some caching plugins. I have tracked down the problem and now WFU works fine also with e.g. WP Super Cache.

Please update to WFU 2.16.1:

Have fun using WFU,

Hi,

There seems to be a bug in Joomla 2.5.1 – 2.5.4 (this is the last version I tested) where when you use the JFU button extension all images are inserted at the beginning and not at the cursor position. This also happens when you use the default “image” button from Joomla. there is already a bug opened for Joomla and I hope this will be fixed soon. Please use e.g. Chrome as there this seems to work fine till now.

Best, Michael

Hi Everyone,

I currently do some courses at W3C about mobile web development with html 5 and I did a lot of improvements at TWG from the stuff I learned there.

Since TWG a optimized .htaccess is coming with the download which enables compression and caching of the web server. If you have an Apache web server I recommend to use this file by simply unzipping the htaccess.zip. Furthermore all css files a dynamically combined and compressed. the compress css files is stored in the cache folder for one day. You can disable this optimization during setup by setting $optimize_css = false; or you can delete this file by clearing the session cache (in the administration or by clicking on the bandwidth icon.

Below I have listed the measurements I have made with TWG 1.8.7 and TWG 1.8.8:

So now you see a lot of numbers. Lets write a small summary of the most important numbers:

• Use the provided htaccess. Up to 55% less data is transfered compared to TWG 1.8.7. It even boosts the page speed score of TWG 1.8.7 to 90!
• Up to 42% less requests are used in TWG 1.8.8. This is for the basic system. The more images you have the more requests of course you get.
• The table does not show the optimized loading of resources. So the real time for loading the page should even be better.

Please note: The css files in the main directory are not used anymore. They have been moved to the css folder!

You find TWG 1.8.8 in the forum already: http://www.tinywebgallery.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14

Have fun using TWG,

Hi,

If you have moved the tfu folder to the site and update then the flash will not be found anymore because JFUploader still looks in the site where the old version does still exist.
Please delete the tfu folder in the /components/com_jfuploader directory. Then the one in the administration is used again.
Then you can move the new version to the site again.

In the next update I will add a check for this.

Hi everyone,

in the first build of 2.16 I disabled the description mode input field my mistake. In the current download I have enabled it again. Please download 2.16 again and simply install it again.

Hi everyone,

I have finished TFU 2.16 and full the integrations into Joomla and Wordpress.

For TFU itself I did some refactoring of the layout. So now all layout switches and combinations of them can be set without any visible layout change. I also increased security if you use the session workaround.
A couple of small fixes and the changes I needed for Joomla and Wordpress are included as well.

For Joomla the editor button is now more comfortable. Uploaded files or created thumbnails are now automatically selected. TFU 2.16 is fully integrated and license files are only loaded from the database if they don’t exist.
JFUploader is now fully compatible to Joomla 2.5.x and does also support the Joomla updater!

If you run Joomla 2.5.1 you NEED (!) JFUploader 2.16!

The biggest change was for the Wordpress flash uploader. Custom configurations files and Javascript can be used. So profiles for users, groups and roles can be created. So you have now the same possibility as in Joomla. You only have to create the configuration files manually and like in Joomla with the backend.
Furthermore I have connected the sessions when the session workaround is used. So now it should work on almost any server.

If you have any problems with the new versions please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi,

today I had the problem that even after following the documentation on the Joomla help

http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_%28MVC%29_Component_for_Joomla!1.7_-_Part_17

I was only able to get the automatic update working for the JFUploader component but for none of the 2 plugins of JFU.

I added the update server like described and where also adding update sections for each

targetplatform (1.6, 1.7 and 2.5).

After checking a lot of documentation, blogs I found out that for Joomla 1.7.x you have to set

<client_id>0</client_id>

but this was not working for Joomla 1.7.5. So I checked the Joomla code and there client instead of client_id has to be used. So for 2.5

<client>0</client>

has to be used.

I have now added

<client>0</client>
<client_id>0</client_id>

to all sections because who know if the Joomla core team decides to change it again in one of the updates.

Hope this help anywone who has the same problem.

If you like to see a working example please check the JFUploader code you can download on the website.

Have fun using JFU,

Hi everyone,

I have finished TFU 2.16 and full the integrations into Joomla and Wordpress.

So all 2.16 versions will be available soon.

A couple of small fixes and the changes I needed for Joomla and Wordpress are included as well.

If you already want to test one of the versions please let me know.

I will now start to test the versions on my test servers.

Hi everyone,

TFU 2.15 is available. Get it here.

This is the new stuff:

New: The freeware version does not have a 3 MB limit anymore! It is replaced by a 3 MB popup where you can continue after entering a number.
New: You can switch the server and upload windows. See switch_sides in the config.
New: Support of IDN-Domains. Please read howto 20 of the TFU FAQ.
New: $date_format: you can define how the date in the flash is displayed.
New: TWG uses the index of a file and not the filesnames directly to support all encodings. Now you can use the file names as well to support parallel use of the flash. See $use_index_for_files or howto 21 of the TFU FAQ
New: Memory is shown when extended debug is enabled! So you can now track the memory usage even during upload!
New: Serbian language file added. Thanks to Zoran Kuzmanovic.
Fix: Date on the serverside was only shown when the directory had no special chars. Now the directory can have special chars, spaces…
Fix: Directory limit was not working properly because of a number format problem.
Fix: Directory limits where not checked when after showing the error message again. So it was possilbe to upload even when the limit was present.
Fix: hide_remote_side was not hidding the remote side label. Now it is and the ‘upload queue’ is shown at this location.

Please still register TFU even when there is no limit anymore.

So have fun with this new release,

Michael

Hi,
I have added a small (IPTC) link at the place where you enter the caption. So if an image has an IPTC caption you can copy this to the caption by clicking on the link. This link is only shown if an image has IPTC data.
This is like in the administration where you can do this for all images at once.

Best, Michael
