Tweak for the new progress bar

**Philthy** · 08-01-2007, 12:50 PM

If you want to change the title, and place some text on the blank webpage that appears after the upload has completed, edit the /cgi-bin/uu_lib.pm file.
This is a part of my file:

Code:

print "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional\/\/EN\">\n";
	print "<html>\n";
	print "  <head>\n";
	print "    <title>Your video is being processed, please wait a moment.<\/title>\n";
	print "      <meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\">\n";
	print "      <meta http-equiv=\"Pragma\" content=\"no-cache\">\n";
	print "      <meta http-equiv=\"CACHE-CONTROL\" content=\"no-cache\">\n";
	print "      <meta http-equiv=\"expires\" content=\"-1\">\n";
	print "      <meta name=\"robots\" content=\"none\">\n";
	print "  <\/head>\n";
	print "  <body style=\"background-color: #EEEEEE; color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans_serif;\">\n";
	print "    
\n";
	print "    <div align='center'>\n";
print "    
\n";
print "    Your video is being processed. Please wait a moment.\n";
print "    
\n";
	print "    $msg\n";
	print "    
\n";
	print "    \n";
	print "    </div>\n";
	print "  </body>\n";
	print "</html>\n";
	
	if($kak_exit){ exit; }

Now if I could just work out how to get it to point to this .gif

Hey, thanks! I was wondering about that blank page!! Yeah, definately a good idea to put something on it, that's for sure! :)

Where do we stick in this code?
Like this?

Put:

Code:

print "    
\n"; 
print "    Your video is being processed. Please wait a moment.\n"; 
print "    
\n";

just above the

Code:

print "    $msg\n";

Right?

I don't know squat about this but would something like this work?

Code:

print "<center><img src = 'progressbar.gif'></img></center>";

and put the animated gif in the cgi-bin?

I got this from http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/M ... eb/3484698

Where it says in the example:

Code:

print "<center> <img src = 'hrabargraph2.gif'></img></center>







";

Well, I tried it and it didn't work. Maybe I have to add the \n to the end of it....

**grynmoors** · 08-15-2007, 02:59 AM

Oh poo that didn't work either.

Anybody else? Admin?

It's easy enough to get the text up grynmoors, but what is stumping me, is getting the syntax right for the script to display images. I tried using the \/ (back and forward slashes). It kinda worked for a bit.....
I've not had time to look further to be honest. A neat idea, would be a page that displays the progress bar animated .gif, and then an auto refresh which takes the user to the upload success page. The script might still be processing the video, but it could display the page anyway I'm sure.

I'm happy just to get the text up there LOL!!! But the image would be a bonus, no doubt. Maybe someone will see this post and tell us how to do it.

The code in my original post works for text. The user gets a nice big "your vid etc", and the page title reads the same.
Feel free to upload something to my site if you want to see it, bigger it is, the longer you'll see it :D

When its converting the user doesn't have to be stuck on that page as it will still convert it (up until the timeout bug) even if the user leaves the page so i'm sure you could set up a redirect in the page to the upload success page. But i wouldn't spend too much time on this as next vshare on 22nd is going to have background conversion feature.

That's what I thought as well. Perhaps, as I suggested, a short page with progress bar running once or twice, and a redirect. It would give the impression of speed if nothing else.
