I am using dropzone.js.
When I try to delete files only the thumbnails get deleted but not the files from server.
I tried some ways but it just gives me the name of the image which was on client side and not the name on server side(both names are different, storing names in encrypted form).
Any help would be much appreciated..
Another way,
Get response from your server in JSON format or a plain string (then use only response instead of response.path),
dropzone.on("success", function(file, response) {
$(file.previewTemplate).append('<span class="server_file">'+response.path+'</span>');
});
Here, the server can return a json like this,
{
status: 200,
path: "/home/user/anything.txt"
}
So we are storing this path into a span that we can access when we are going to delete it.
dropzone.on("removedfile", function(file) {
var server_file = $(file.previewTemplate).children('.server_file').text();
alert(server_file);
// Do a post request and pass this path and use server-side language to delete the file
$.post("delete.php", { file_to_be_deleted: server_file } );
});
After the process, the preview template will be deleted by Dropzone along with file path stored in a span.
The way I handle this, is after each file is uploaded and stored on the server, I echo back the name I give the file on my server, and store it in a JS object, something like this:
PHP:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $newFileName);
echo $newFileName;
JS:
dropZone.on("success", function(file, serverFileName) {
fileList[serverFileName] = {"serverFileName" : serverFileName, "fileName" : file.name };
});
With this, you can then write a delete script in PHP that takes in the "serverFileName" and does the actual deletion, such as:
JS:
$.ajax({
url: "upload/delete_temp_files.php",
type: "POST",
data: { "fileList" : JSON.stringify(fileList) }
});
PHP:
$fileList = json_decode($_POST['fileList']);
for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($fileList); $i++)
{
unlink(basename($fileList[$i]));
}
Most simple way
JS file,this script will run when you click delete button
this.on("removedfile", function(file) {
alert(file.name);
$.ajax({
url: "uploads/delete.php",
type: "POST",
data: { 'name': file.name}
});
});
php file "delete.php"
<?php
$t= $_POST['name'];
echo $t;
unlink($t);
?>
The file will be deleteed when you click the "Remove" button :
Put this on your JS file or your HTML file (or your PHP view/action file):
<script type="text/javascript">
Dropzone.options.myAwesomeDropzone = {
// Change following configuration below as you need there bro
autoProcessQueue: true,
uploadMultiple: true,
parallelUploads: 2,
maxFiles: 10,
maxFilesize: 5,
addRemoveLinks: true,
dictRemoveFile: "Remove",
dictDefaultMessage: "<h3 class='sbold'>Drop files here or click to upload document(s)<h3>",
acceptedFiles: ".xls,.xlsx,.doc,.docx",
//another of your configurations..and so on...and so on...
init: function() {
this.on("removedfile", function(file) {
alert("Delete this file?");
$.ajax({
url: '/delete.php?filetodelete='+file.name,
type: "POST",
data: { 'filetodelete': file.name}
});
});
}}
</script>
..and Put this code in your PHP file :
<?php
$toDelete= $_POST['filetodelete'];
unlink("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/*this-is-the-folder-which-you-put-the-file-uploaded*/{$toDelete}");
die;
?>
Hope this helps you bro :)
I've made it easier, just added new property serverFileName to the file object:
success: function(file, response) {
file.serverFileName = response.file_name;
},
removedfile: function (file, data) {
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'/deleteFile',
data : {"file_name" : file.serverFileName},
success : function (data) {
}
});
}
success: function(file, serverFileName)
{
fileList['serverFileName'] = {"serverFileName" : serverFileName, "fileName" : file.name };
alert(file.name);
alert(serverFileName);
},
removedfile: function(file, serverFileName)
{
fileList['serverFileName'] = {"serverFileName" : serverFileName, "fileName" : file.name };
alert(file.name);
alert(serverFileName);
}
When you save the image in upload from there you have to return new file name :
echo json_encode(array("Filename" => "New File Name"));
And in dropzone.js file :
success: function(file,response) {
obj = JSON.parse(response);
file.previewElement.id = obj.Filename;
if (file.previewElement) {
return file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-success");
}
},
And when the dropzone is initialize..
init: function() {
this.on("removedfile", function(file) {
var name = file.previewElement.id;
$.ajax({
url: "post URL",
type: "POST",
data: { 'name': name}
});
});
return noop;
},
Now you will receive new image file and you can delete it from server
You can add id number of uploaded file on the mockFile and use that id to delete from server.
Dropzone.options.frmFilesDropzone = {
init: function() {
var _this = this;
this.on("removedfile", function(file) {
console.log(file.id); // use file.id to delete file on the server
});
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/server/images",
success: function(response) {
if(response.status=="ok"){
$.each(response.data, function(key,value) {
var mockFile = {id:value.id,name: value.name, size: value.filesize};
_this.options.addedfile.call(_this, mockFile);
_this.options.thumbnail.call(_this, mockFile, "/media/images/"+value.name);
_this.options.complete.call(_this, mockFile);
_this.options.success.call(_this, mockFile);
});
}
}
});
Server Json return for getting all images already uploaded /server/images:
{
"data":[
{"id":52,"name":"image_1.jpg","filesize":1234},
{"id":53,"name":"image_2.jpg","filesize":1234},
]}
In my case server sends back some ajax response with deleteUrl for every specific image.
I just insert this url as 'data-dz-remove' attribute, set in previewTemplate already.
As I use jquery it looks so:
this.on("success", function (file, response) {
$(file.previewTemplate).find('a.dz-remove').attr('data-dz-remove', response.deleteUrl);
});
Later this attr used to send ajax post with this url to delete file on server by removedfile event as mentioned above.
This simple solution will work for single files upload, no need for DOM manipulation.
PHP Upload Script
[...]
echo $filepath; // ie: 'medias/articles/m/y/a/my_article/my-image.png'
JS Dropzones
this.on("success", function(file, response) {
file.path = response; // We create a new 'path' index
});
this.on("removedfile", function(file) {
removeFile(file.path)
});
JS outside of Dropzone
var removeFile = function(path){
//SEND PATH IN AJAX TO PHP DELETE SCRIPT
$.ajax({
url: "uploads/delete.php",
type: "POST",
data: { 'path': path}
});
}

I have successfully used Dropzone to display existing files from my server. However, when I submit the form, only new files are submitted to the server, so I don't know if the user has deleted any. Essentiall I want to send the data for all the files currently displayed, including the 'mocked' files and the newly uploaded ones.
I am using autoProcessQueue: false so that I can have a separate submit button to send the data to the server.
My Code:
Dropzone.options.createListingForm = {
autoProcessQueue: false,
uploadMultiple: true,
previewsContainer: '.create-listing-form-uploads',
parallelUploads: 100,
maxFiles: 100,
addRemoveLinks: true,
init: function () {
var thisDropzone = this;
var photos = form.data('photos');
$.each(photos, function (key, photo) {
var mockFile = {
name: photo.name,
size: photo.size,
type: photo.type,
accepted: true
};
thisDropzone.files.push(mockFile); // add to files array
thisDropzone.emit("addedfile", mockFile);
thisDropzone.emit("thumbnail", mockFile, photo.path);
thisDropzone.emit("complete", mockFile);
});
}
};
form.on('click', '.create-listing-form-save-photos', function () {
$('.dropzone').get(0).dropzone.processQueue();
return false;
});
Thanks to this answer for the first part of my code:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/45701181/5482719
Each time a file (including mock Files) is removed/deleted from the dropzone, the removedfile event is fired.
You could use this event to delete the removed file from your server as follows:
myDropzone.on("removedfile", function(file) {
// 'file' parameter contains the file object.
console.log('Removed File', file);
// Delete file from server
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'url/that/handles/delete',
data: {
fileName: file.name,
},
dataType: 'json'
}).done(function (response) {
// check repsonse, notify user
}).fail(function(resp) {
console.log('xhr failed', resp);
}).always(function(resp) {
// do nothing for now
});
});
Hope that helps.
I am trying to upload a file (PDF) by AJAX to my server to be handled by a php script in a laravel project. I cannot get the file to send and be received on the server.
In the network I can see that the POST request is getting a 200 response, however it is returning a response of 'file not present', which is the response from laravel.
Also in the post request the Request Payload contains the following

Please see the js and html and php below:
html
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" id="cv" name="cv"/>
<button id="file-send">Add</button>
</form>
js
$('#file-send').bind('click', function () {
$.ajax({
url:"test",
data: new FormData($("#cv")[0]),
type:'POST',
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success:function(response){
console.log(response);
},
});
});
LARAVEL CODE
public static function uploadingFile(){
if (Input::hasFile('cv'))
{
return "file present";
}
else{
return "file not present";
}
Try this:
JS:
$('#file-send').on('click', function() {
var file_data = $('#pic').prop('files')[0];
var form_data = new FormData();
form_data.append('file', file_data);
$.ajax({
url : 'upload.php', // point to server-side PHP script
dataType : 'text', // what to expect back from the PHP script, if anything
cache : false,
contentType : false,
processData : false,
data : form_data,
type : 'post',
success : function(output){
alert(output); // display response from the PHP script, if any
}
});
$('#pic').val(''); /* Clear the file container */
});
Php:
<?php
if ( $_FILES['file']['error'] > 0 ){
echo 'Error: ' . $_FILES['file']['error'] . '<br>';
}
else {
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], 'uploads/' . $_FILES['file']['name']))
{
echo "File Uploaded Successfully";
}
}
?>

I have the below script that loads a json editor. The path to the json file that should be loaded is stored in a php var called $filePath. This works well however instead of loading a pre-determined json file I would like to have a dropdown list of all files in a specified directory ($dirPath) that the user can choose from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
<?php global $filePath, $dirPath; ?>
<script>
// create the editor
var container = document.getElementById('jsoneditor');
var options = {
mode: 'view',
modes: ['code', 'text', 'view'], // allowed modes
onError: function (err) {
alert(err.toString());
},
onModeChange: function (newMode, oldMode) {
console.log('Mode switched from', oldMode, 'to', newMode);
}
};
var editor = new JSONEditor(container, options);
// set json
document.getElementById('setJSON').onclick = function () {
var json = null;
$.ajax({
'async': false,
'global': false,
'url': "<?php echo $filePath; ?>",
'dataType': "json",
'success':
function (data) { json = data; }
});
editor.set(json);
};
</script>
I am using dropzone in my Code Igniter Project.
With every drag of a file, dropzone creates an ajax request and my files is getting stored on the server too. But now, my requirement is that I want to send additional data (DYNAMIC) alongside the file.
With the use of params, Only static datas can be sent, but the data I want to send will be changing everytime.
This is how my code looks:
<script>
Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;
Dropzone.options.attachment = {
init: function(){
this.on('removedfile',function(file){
// console.log('akjsdhaksj');
var fileName = file.name;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "<?php echo BASE_URL.'index.php/admin/mail_actions/deleteFile' ?>",
data: "id="+fileName,
dataType: 'html'
});
});
},
// params: {
// customerFolder: $('#toValue').substr(0, toValue.indexOf('#')),
// },
dictDefaultMessage:"Click / Drop here to upload files",
addRemoveLinks: true,
dictRemoveFile:"Remove",
maxFiles:3,
maxFilesize:8,
}
$(function(){
var uploadFilePath = "<?php echo BASE_URL.'index.php/admin/mail_actions/uploadFile' ?>";
var myDropzone = new Dropzone("div#attachment", { url: uploadFilePath});
});
</script>
Anyway I can achieve it?
I got it.
This is what I had to use
myDropzone.on('sending', function(file, xhr, formData){
formData.append('userName', 'bob');
});
Abhinav has the right and working answer I only want to give a second option to use it in the options object (for example if you have multiple Dropzone sections on one page.)
myDropzone.options.dropzoneDivID = {
sending: function(file, xhr, formData){
formData.append('userName', 'Bob');
}
};
In case you have a nested payload object - e.g. to add a name to your file and your api only accepts something like this
{
someParameter: {
image: <my-upload-file>,
name: 'Bob'
}
}
your dropzone setup would look like this
var myDropzone = new Dropzone("div#attachment", {
url: uploadFilePath,
paramName: 'someParameter[image]'
});
myDropzone.on('sending', function(file, xhr, formData){
formData.append('someParameter[image]', file);
formData.append('someParameter[userName]', 'bob');
});
I only added this as there was no example for nested parameters documented since now.
i was using JQuery and this is how worked for me :
$("#dZUpload").dropzone({
url: "ajax/upload_img_ben.php",
success: function (file, response) {
var imgName = response;
file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-success");
console.log("Successfully uploaded :" + imgName);
},
error: function (file, response) {
file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-error");
},
sending: function(file, xhr, formData){
formData.append('id', '5');
}
});
I'm trying to add an id attribute to each file uploaded in Dropzone.js, So I can sort it later on.
This is my code:
Dropzone.options.pictureDropzone = {
paramName: "file",
addRemoveLinks: true,
init: function() {
this.on("success", function(file, response) {
file.serverId = response.id;
$(file.previewTemplate).find('.dz-preview').attr('id', "document-" + file.serverId);
});
}
};
The line
$(file.previewTemplate).find('.dz-preview').attr('id', "document-" + file.serverId);
Should add the id, but it does nothing.
Tried it with prop() too.
If I choose a different element, it does work fine. for example, this works for .dz-details
$(file.previewTemplate).find('.dz-details').attr('id', "document-" + file.serverId);
But I cannot seem to find a way to add it to the dz-preview element.
The HTML structure looks like that:
<div class="dz-preview dz-processing dz-image-preview dz-success">
<div class="dz-details"> ... </div>
<div class="dz-progress"> ... </div>
<div class="dz-success-mark"> ... </div>
</div>
Thank you for the help :)
I know this is old but if anyone is still looking for the answer: -
this.on("success", function(file, response) {
file.previewElement.id = response.id;
});
Cast the previewElement into jQuery object and perform any action.
this.on("success", function(file, response) {
$(file.previewElement).attr("id", response.id);
});
this.on("success", function(file, response) {
file.serverId = response.id;
$(".dz-preview:last-child").attr('id', "document-" + file.serverId);
});
I had similar problem but tried it through declaring a variable in javascript ,following is code :
$("#fileUpload${dropdown}").dropzone(
{
url : "uploadAdditionalFile?name="+$("#fileUpload${dropdown} div:first-child").prop('id'),
addRemoveLinks : true,
maxFiles : 1,
init : function() {
var imageId = $("#fileUpload${dropdown} div:first-child").prop('id');
this.on("maxfilesexceeded",
function(file) {
alert("Only one file can be uploaded at a time");
this.removeFile(file);
});
this.on("addedfile",
function(file) {
switch (file.type) {
case 'application/pdf':
this.emit("thumbnail",file,"/sbms/static/img/pdf.png");
break;
case 'application/msword':
this.emit("thumbnail",file,"/sbms/static/img/word.png");
break;
}
}
);
this.on('removedfile', function(file){
$.ajax({
type : "GET",
url : "removeAdditionalMediaPreviewForm?id="+imageId,
dataType : "json",
async : false,
success : function(response) {
if (response.status == 'SUCCESS') {
alert("File removed successfully.")
}else {
alert("File not removed successfully.")
}
}
});
});
},
success : function(file,response) {
var imgName = response;
file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-success");
console.log("Successfully uploaded :"+ imgName);
},
error : function(file,response, xhr) {
alert("Unable to upload file. Please check if it is a valid doc or pdf file.");
this.removeFile(file);
}
});
imageId is a variable which stores the id and is used later on while file remove.
This will fail spectacularly if the user drops multiple files.(Szczepan Hołyszewski Dec 17 '15 at 18:45);
BryanFoong answer won't fail if you set the option uploadMultiple: false. Which is set so by default. In this case Dropzone sends separate request to the server for each file. Therefore "success" event triggers for each individual file.
In case the uploadMultiple: true. Dropzone will send single request to server for all files. And "success" event will trigger once. And following code will handle that.
YourDropzoneInstance.on("success", function(file, response) {
response.files.forEach(function(file) {
file.previewTemplate.id = file.id;
})
})
Again you need to return from server array of files.
In PHP it will look like
function yourFileUploadHandler() {
...
// your server file upload implementation
$response = [
"files" => [
["id" = 1, ...],
["id" = 2, ...],
...
],
];
return json_decode($response);
}
