uploadify scriptData problem

Question

I'm having problems with scriptData on uploadify, I'm pretty sure the config syntax is fine but whatever I do, scriptData is not passed to the upload script.

I tested in both FF and Chrome with flash v. Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31

This is the config:

    $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#id_file').uploadify({
        'uploader'          : '/media/filebrowser/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
        'script'            : '/admin/filebrowser/upload_file/',
        'scriptData'        : {'session_key': 'e1b552afde044bdd188ad51af40cfa8e'},
        'checkScript'       : '/admin/filebrowser/check_file/',
        'cancelImg'         : '/media/filebrowser/uploadify/cancel.png',
        'auto'              : false,
        'folder'            : '',
        'multi'             : true,
        'fileDesc'          : '*.html;*.py;*.js;*.css;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.png;*.tif;*.tiff;*.mp3;*.mp4;*.wav;*.aiff;*.midi;*.m4p;*.mov;*.wmv;*.mpeg;*.mpg;*.avi;*.rm;*.pdf;*.doc;*.rtf;*.txt;*.xls;*.csv;',
        'fileExt'           : '*.html;*.py;*.js;*.css;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.png;*.tif;*.tiff;*.mp3;*.mp4;*.wav;*.aiff;*.midi;*.m4p;*.mov;*.wmv;*.mpeg;*.mpg;*.avi;*.rm;*.pdf;*.doc;*.rtf;*.txt;*.xls;*.csv;',
        'sizeLimit'         : 10485760,
        'scriptAccess'      : 'sameDomain',
        'queueSizeLimit'    : 50,
        'simUploadLimit'    : 1,
        'width'             : 300,
        'height'            : 30,
        'hideButton'        : false,
        'wmode'             : 'transparent',
        translations        : {
                              browseButton: 'BROWSE',
                              error: 'An Error occured',
                              completed: 'Completed',
                              replaceFile: 'Do you want to replace the file',
                              unitKb: 'KB',
                              unitMb: 'MB'
        }
    });
    $('input:submit').click(function(){
        $('#id_file').uploadifyUpload();
        return false;
    });
});

I checked that other values (file name) are passed correctly but session_key is not.

This is the decorator code from django-filebrowser, you can see it checks for request.POST.get('session_key'), the problem is that request.POST is empty.

def flash_login_required(function):
    """
    Decorator to recognize a user  by its session.
    Used for Flash-Uploading.
    """

    def decorator(request, *args, **kwargs):
        try:
            engine = __import__(settings.SESSION_ENGINE, {}, {}, [''])
        except:
            import django.contrib.sessions.backends.db
            engine = django.contrib.sessions.backends.db
        print request.POST
        session_data = engine.SessionStore(request.POST.get('session_key'))
        user_id = session_data['_auth_user_id']
        # will return 404 if the session ID does not resolve to a valid user
        request.user = get_object_or_404(User, pk=user_id)
        return function(request, *args, **kwargs)
    return decorator

I found a solution without using scriptData. You can pass your data by passing through your URL:

$("#image_upload1").uploadify({
            'method':'POST',
            'buttonText':'Select',
            'fileTypeDesc' : 'Image Files',
            'fileTypeExts' : '*.gif; *.jpg; *.png',
            'swf':'<?php echo base_url()?>resources/flash/uploadify.swf',
            'uploader':'<?php echo site_url('item/update_item_images/'.$picid[0]); ?>',
            'width': 40,
            'multi':false,
            'onUploadComplete':function(file)
            {
                $('.original').hide();
                $('#image1').attr('style','background-image:url("../resources/uploads/<?php echo $id;?>/'+file.name+'");background-size: 140px 119px;');
                $('#hidden_img_value1').attr('value',file.name)
            }
        });

Here I pass the value $picid[0] in uploader. This data you can access in your controller.

Ingenious. The scriptData thing is always such a pain with uploadify but this totally works around the whole stupid problem. Wish Ronniesan would fix this or write some documentation.

@Jimbo after removing inverted comma (') ,then also the value is not reciving in controller.

$("#image_upload1").uploadify({
            'method':'POST',
            'buttonText':'Select',
            'fileTypeDesc' : 'Image Files',
            'fileTypeExts' : '*.gif; *.jpg; *.png',
            'swf':'<?php echo base_url()?>resources/flash/uploadify.swf',
            'uploader':'<?php echo site_url('item/update_item_image1')?>',
            'width': 40,
            'multi':false,
            'scriptData':{id:'<?=$picid[0]?>'},
            'onUploadComplete':function(file)
            {
                //alert(response);
                $('.original').hide();
                $('#image1').attr('style','background-image:url("../resources/uploads/18/'+file.name+'")');
                $('#hidden_img_value1').attr('value',file.name)
            }
        });

This might sound silly, but are you sure it's a session_key problem?

I had an authentication problem with filebrowser+uploadify but the problem was not the session_key but that the site was protected by a HTTP digest authentication set in Apache and, although session_key was sent fine, uploadify does not send the HTTP authentication headers.

Is your web server requiring any form of authentication?

No, it uses the standard django authentication for the admin panel (cookie based).

I had a a similar problem passing script data in the past. Removing the inverted comma (') around the key in the key/value pairs fixed my problem

Instead of:

'scriptData'        : {'session_key': 'e1b552afde044bdd188ad51af40cfa8e'},

Use:

'scriptData'        : {session_key: 'e1b552afde044bdd188ad51af40cfa8e'},

(useful Uploadify post here)
