It looks to me like many people having problems using this plugin, and for good reasons. It is not the best plugin around and it was built very quickly, but it can be used. To help you all I have made a small demo project which I friezed and attached. The project was build by init a new project, then init an application called "test" and then init module called "test". The index template contains the form with a file input field to be uploaded. Theses are the changes done to various files: filters.yml: rendering: ~ web_debug: ~ security: ~ # generally, you will want to insert your own filters here ajaxUploader: class: AjaxUploaderFilter cache: ~ common: ~ flash: ~ execution: ~ settings.yml: prod: .settings: no_script_name: on dev: .settings: error_reporting: web_debug: on cache: off no_script_name: off etag: off test: .settings: error_reporting: cache: off web_debug: off no_script_name: off etag: off all: .settings: enabled_modules: [default, ajaxUploader] view.yml default: http_metas: content-type: text/html metas: title: symfony project robots: index, follow description: symfony project keywords: symfony, project language: en stylesheets: [main] javascripts: [%SF_PROTOTYPE_WEB_DIR%/js/prototype, /sfAjaxUploaderPlugin/js/ajaxUploader] has_layout: on layout: layout There is no code in the actions, only some templates. The index template is a form with file field: 'myAjaxUploader()', 'update' => 'target_div', 'url' => 'test/upload', )); ?> and the response template just echos some info: getParameter('name'))) { echo "file " . $sf_request->getParameter('name') . " was uploaded"; } else { echo "no file was uploaded"; } ?> The AjaxUploaderHelper.php was buggy (as few of you have noticed). It should be: url_for("ajaxUploader/uploader") . "?name=$name", "name"=>"ajaxUploader", "frameborder"=>0, "width"=>320, "height"=>25), true) . tag("/iframe") . input_hidden_tag($name); } ?> And thats it, AJAX uploads!
