Hi,
Can anyone point me to an example of a progress indicator or, more simply, how one would go about having a page with a % complete field? I have a process that ingests a file and takes quite a long time and I would like to indicate to the user how much of it has been done. I recall from research I did a few months ago that there is a progress bar in one of the T5 component archives but there are no examples as to how to use it and I'm not even sure if it works. I imagine that if I wanted just a simple field on a page that updated with a % then I would have Javascript make an AJAX get and obtain a value from the server. However, as I'm a complete newbie to AJAX, an example of how to do this would be extremely helpful. Example silly questions: does my field have to be in a Zone? Or aren't Zones relevant seeing as I would be making the AJAX get in my own Javascript. Also, would the % value updated by my process just be held in a @Persist field? Anyway - some pointers or hints would be greatly appreciated. Regards, c.
