Flickr Uploader Clone: Free Download with source code

I have been searching for flickr uploader clone script online for one of my project. But no luck! There is no such thing on internet. Then I started with analyzing the javascript code of flickr uploader. Lucky that they did not packed their js. Though it was minified by removing white spaces. I used an online javascript code beautifier to make it pretty readable. After that the challenging part began. Cos, the code normally does not work on my local server. After huge hard working of long one week I made it finally. It works great! Even it works for videos too. You can modify the code for uploading any types of file. FYI, Flickr has used YUI (Yahoo User Interface) library for their uploader. So there is no licensing problem if you use this uploader for your own.

For my own need I added 2 extra fields. They are sent to server via POST method along with the FILES. One thing I’ve noticed, it can upload file faster than normal file uploading method. Cos, the file is encoded first via the flash uploader and somehow it is faster than normal.

And the great advantage is you can select multiple files during browsing by pressing Ctlr + A or select your files by dragging mouse. By using html <input type=”file” /> you can only select one file at a time which is really so boaring and life-taking when you want to upload hundreds of images.

Here is the online demo. The files are not being saved on my server for my own security!

Download it here completely free in a single zip file!

Modify the index_files/config.js file line no 49,
var _site_root = ‘your script location’;
It won’t work for you until you change _site_root

I have no problem if you use it for your own use. But I do not actually want anyone to put the files/zip on their own site to drive the traffics away from our blog.

If you need any support for modifying or setting it up or any bug report please contact me directly at adnan.eee@gmail.com

Thanks
Have a pain-less uploading experience!
