Got a really interesting (for me) problem.
I have a dropzone.js plugin installed and now I need to put some files there... from php.
What I am trying to do:
php script detects, that there are some files (in directory) that were loaded earlier (for example, few days ago). (I know the names of this files).
After that, I have to pass this files to my javascript script which will add them to dropzone so user could see files that he uploaded earlier.
And all of this using Ajax.
I understand, what to do with step 1 (I can find those files). But how to pass it to js and then add to dropzone?
Or am I thinking wrong? Help me please.
Dropzone has a wiki page explaining that.
Here is how I've recently done that by getting file URLs from REST API:
$.get('http://api.to.return.files', function(data) {
$(data.photos).each(function(i, photo) {
var mockFile = { name: photo.name, size: photo.size, accepted: true, id: photo.id };
myDropzone.emit("addedfile", mockFile);
myDropzone.emit("thumbnail", mockFile, photo.url);
myDropzone.emit("complete", mockFile);
myDropzone.files.push(mockFile);
});
});
If you already have your files urls in the script, use them instead of API response in my case.
