Attachments feature about jquery-comments HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm adding this functionality to the library ASAP as there have been several requests about this matter. However, it's going to take some time since the library needs to support mobile use as well but hopefully I get it done this month. Please note that you still need to implement the attachment uploading to your backend to get it working.

@jjtykkyl Very pleased to hear that.

My project is going live in january. Hope you will have time to release something.
Tell me if you need help.

@erichard I've implemented the MVP of this feature to branch feature/attachments (https://github.com/Viima/jquery-comments/tree/feature/attachments) if you wish to start using it already. There's still a lot to do but the basic functionalities are in place.

The idea is that the attachments are treated as comments but they have two extra fields: "file" and "file_mime_type". You should define new callback function called "uploadAttachment" which takes the same parameters as the "postComment" callback. However, the "file" attribute provided in commentJSON is the actual file to be uploaded and it's up to your server logic to upload that file and transform the value of the attribute to the URL of the file instead. The commentJSON contains also the "file_mime_type" but you may want to validate this on your backend as well. This is used for showing preview of the file whenever possible (works only for images and videos so far).

P.S. the feature will be disabled by default when merged to master branch so I recommend you to set the "enableAttachments" flag true already at this point.
