Introducing the Real Upload Progress Bar for PhpBB v3.0.x

PhpBB_Real_Upload_Progress_Bar

This mod will give your forum uploaders a progress bar that really works unlike the prepackaged progress bar included in the standard subsilver theme which ‘pretends’ to show you upload progress.

Dynamic upload details available include :

  • percent uploaded
  • upload speed
  • average upload speed
  • estimated upload finish time

The Upload Progress Bar makes use of the lightweight JQuery javascript library to display the information to the browser, and for maximum efficiency it is only called when a user makes a post in your forum.

Download the mod below and follow the instructions found in the install.xml file.

Requirements: uploadprogress package installed and enabled on your server.

After installation of the uploadprogress package go to you php.ini file and add the following to the very end -

If you want to see if the uploadprogress package is installed and enabled, add the following to a php file -

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Now upload it to your website and open it with your browser. You should see something similar to this somewhere on the page -
