Wondering if anyone has successfully used the file upload module without using pop_ups?

I’d love to skip the initial pop_up step in this process and replace with a light box type process.

I am hiding the file field that ultimately accepts the file path from the file_place template. I
have the file_upload form placed in a hidden div that is exposed when the user chooses to
select a file. Once exposed the upload process begins. The file can be selected and when the
user clicks upload the file transfers. However, this is where the process is breaking down for me.

After uploading rather then redirecting to a completely new page that contains the file_place form,
I’d like to perform an ajax call to pull in the file_place template.  Now, it should be noted, that
the re-direct to a new page is not placing the “file path” in the associated field contained in my SAEF.
So, before I even get the ajax call working I need to get this process working without using the
pop_up process.

Is this even possible?

In looking at the fileplacer() function, in the else condition

it seems to indicate this should be a possibility...however, I don’t see anything in the docs that refers to a parameter/setting that
would allow me to set the popup to off.

Could someone provide some insight here?

Thanks

Out of the box, there’s no real way.

However, and I dare suggest it… I wonder if an iFrame would do it?
