Prevent user from leaving page whilst uploading files

Follow these steps for me:

1. Open up in an editor: wpcontent/plugins/file-away/lib/js/management.js

2. On line 1226, beneath FileUpConfig = []; add this line:

FileUpInProgress = false;

3. On line 1242, directly above the line that says: var TheFiles = []; add this function:

$(window).on('beforeunload', function(){
    if(FileUpInProgress) return 'Uploads are in progress. Exiting the page will terminate any further uploads.';
});

4. On line 1439 – 1448, change this:

if(k < TheFiles[uid].length)
{
	fileupAjax(TheFiles[uid][k], k, uid);
}
else
{
	$('span#ssfa_submit_upload_'+uid).parents('span.ssfa_fileup_wrapper').eq(0)
		.css({'visibility':'visible','opacity':'1'});
	TheFiles[uid] = [];
}

to this:

if(k < TheFiles[uid].length)
{
	FileUpInProgress = true;
	fileupAjax(TheFiles[uid][k], k, uid);
}
else
{
	FileUpInProgress = false;
	$('span#ssfa_submit_upload_'+uid).parents('span.ssfa_fileup_wrapper').eq(0)
		.css({'visibility':'visible','opacity':'1'});
	TheFiles[uid] = [];
}

Save the file and you should be good to go.

I’ll give it a try thanks. If I change this then it will be overwritten when there’s a new update for your plugin?

I will include it, but it will probably be a while before there’s an update.

I have tried adding as per your instruction but when i go to select files to upload i can select a file and it doesn’t add it to the upload list? its blank? So cant upload files basically.

I get no errors and have refreshed and cleared cache etc.

Do you have the file i can download?
