How to send additional data to jQuery File Upload Plugin?
try turning your data into in object - with what they showed in their example
$('#add_image_upload').fileupload({
dataType: 'json',
sequentialUploads: true,
formData : {name:'thedate',value:getDate}
});
Then to add more params
//name of param // value
formData : [{name:'thedate',value:getDate},{name:'thedate2',value:'seconddate'},etc..]
Example:
[ { name: 'a', value: 1 }, { name: 'b', value: 2 } ]
Changing thedate
with whatever you want to name the param
Though it sounds like a simple object should work fine
//name:value
formData : {thedate:getDate}

This would seem stupid but i can't seem to understand the documentation. I'm talking about This plugin for file upload.
Now according to the documentation there's an option :
formData
Additional form data to be sent along with the file uploads can be set using this option, which accepts an array of objects with name and value properties, a function returning such an array, a FormData object (for XHR file uploads), or a simple object. The form of the first fileInput is given as parameter to the function.
Note: Additional form data is ignored when the multipart option is set to false.
Type: Array, Object, function or FormData Default: A function returning the form fields as serialized Array:
function (form) { return form.serializeArray(); }
Example:
[ { name: 'a', value: 1 }, { name: 'b', value: 2 } ]
Which i fail to understand what i'm suppoused to do with that.
This is how i initialize the plugin :
$('#add_image_upload').fileupload({ dataType: 'json', sequentialUploads: true, formData : getDate });
And this is my attempt to the function :
function getDate(){ //if user didn't selected a date if(!selectedDate || selectedDate=="undefined"){ selectedDate = "1/1/"+$('#timeline').html(); } var date= new Array(selectedDate); return date; }
