We have finished 2 new widgets to be used on the Dashboard page: Quick FileUpload and Quick DropBox.
Quick FileUpload is intended for lecturers and allows them to upload one/multiple file(s) into the root folder of the Resources tool for the courses they are an administrator on. This also allows them to upload a set of files quickly into multiple courses. First they need to select the site to upload into, then they need to select the files to upload (you can select multiple files in the Filedialog) and finally you just press the Upload button which will upload all selected files and will also show a progress bar whilst uploading.
The second widget is Quick DropBox. Quick DropBox is intended for students and allows them to hand in one/multiple file(s) intothe dropbox of the courses they are a member of. First they need to select the site they want to hand in to, then they need to select the files to hand in (you can select multiple files in the Filedialog) and finally they just press the Hand in button which will upload all selected files and will also show a progress bar whilst uploading. So the basic functionality of this widget is very similar to the functionality of the Quick FileUpload widget.

Hi Nicholas
I simply love the interface you’re discussing on this page. Pardon me if I’m misplacing the following question, but here goes;
- I’m trying to plugin the SWFUpload into a Sakai tool called profileWow. I need that savvy “Ajaxy” feel via a lightbox. The problem is that SWF seems to work well with PHP not java, what “fixes” did you guys have to do to ensure easy intergration of SWFUpload into sakai? By this I mean having it work with the sakai instance settings, file locations etc…
Regards to you!
