Dolphin 8 Uploaders and Forms

Perhaps the biggest change in Dolphin 8 is our approach to coding and designing it. The best word to describe the process is "carving". We are approaching it with very critical view and a no-compromise goal to make it work perfectly for the end users. Surely enough, this strategy takes more time in the beginning, but once bits and parts start to stack up, it's a joy. 

Well, today we're showing one of the very important building blocks that will be used in many modules and is detrimental to just about every part of the script operation - speed, scalability, ease-of-use, you name it. 

File Uploaders

As you will see in today's posts from AlexT (Dolphin 8 Uploaders and Dolphin 8 Storage Objects) new uploaders are technically a lot more flexible and advanced compared to what you see in D7, but I'll leave the technicals to those who actually can explain them... In this note, I invite you to look at what they're going to look like and how they are going to work in the front-end. So, let's look at the UI and deliberate about it's usefulness and seamlessness...

In the video below you'd be able to see how multiple (no Flash!) uploader and simple uploaders work separately, how they respond to interm interruptions and how attachments are displayed. Depending on circumstances one or another uploader wwill be used. 

Forms

At this stage you get to see only a glimpse of what is to become "Dolphin Forms", but there're already some interesting improvements that a keen eye may register.  

Dolphin 8 Uploaders and Dolphin 8 Storage Objects notes from AlexT may also be worth checking out if you actually can tell the difference between, say, program code and cyrillic texts.
