I'm working on the uploader right now. It only works with one image at a time... I shall have to look up how to get it to work with more than one...

I don't know PHP or SQL, so I'm not sure if this helps, but why not create an array of the files and iterate through?

Good news, Lightning is planning to turn on images again today! I spoke with him and he says he'll be whitelisting blocks.scratchr.org too 

It's Lightnin, not Lightning. 
When will the website be out of construction?
I love the library...

Hmm. It's hard to be sure. I do have other obligations    When you say "up", do you mean the image uploader? Cos that will hopefully be finished tonight/tomorrow but until the SQL is fixed on the site I can't do much.

Whoops, typo, sorry. The site won't be out of construction for some time, but I'm glad you like the library 

And I was asking about Greenatic's "up", I guessed what you meant

Images are back on, so you can remove that message at the top

Exactly what I was about to say!

Me too!

First we have to move all the images though, or else we might get caught by the new filter.

So sorry I've not had time to finish the image uploader! Work was hectic today and I had to do overtime. Hopefully it will be done this time tomorrow though

Oh yes, sorry. The problem with your database idea is that the database isn't mine, it belongs to the Scratch team, and they would probably not be too happy about a direct-read connection

I'm planning to host my own database, for my own global variables. I want to connect to it directly with libMySQL or the like.

I want blocks with the capability of accessing the server directly, that I can edit the code of to use my own database (similar to the way I could edit the code of JD1's blocks to use my own database).

It appears there is no difference at all between the blocks, I shall combine them!

No such luck:

Block 1 (in stage):  bucket-fills at the specified x and y of the stage's costume.
Block 1 (in sprite): bucket-fills at the specified x and y of the [b] sprites costume.[b] - not its position on the stage
I guess those two are the same, sort of.  Maybe there should be a dropdown list of which costume/background of the sprite/stage to bucketfill on?  (current, maybe first/last, and then the individual names?)
Block 2: bucket-fills at the specified x and y of the stage itself.  This is only temporary, and is reset when X happens. (X = clear block used, greenflag clicked, or something like that?)

Okay. The image uploader is working. It still needs some work, I want to get it bulk-uploading and possibly uploading from URLs, not just from the PC, but its working!

Librarians can log in and use it here. Once all images from a post have been successfully moved, you can edit the post and replace all the image tags with their new ones. Please give them sensible names that indicate what the block does, spaces are automatically replaced with underscores so you can have an url like http://www.blocks.scratchr.org/images/blocks/move_()_steps_towards_sprite_[] which will let people with image problems still see what the block does!

Unfortunately, because databases aren't working yet, I couldn't think of a safe way to store cookies so that feature doesn't work. I'm all ears to a safe solution to this 

I'm not off to work, I'll be back in about 7 hours

Add a "Bingo" section to this, I think it's one of the best Scratch Mods around.

Can't you mod Bingo the same way as Scratch?

Sparks, I'll check out the uploader. Is there a list of files already uploaded, so we don't do ones already done? I'll get to uploading later.

Oh I see. You want Scratch/Panther blocks to access the block database directly? I'm afraid that can't be done since the only way Scratch/Panther can interact with the web is through web pages and GET data, you need to send a GET request to a PHP page to get the database contents 

NOT THE BLOCK DATABASE~!!! Lol

Are you absolutely sure the only way to access the web is through a url?
How do programs outside of scratch/panther do it, and why couldn't squeak code be written to do the same thing?

I wasn't talking about the bucket-fill blocks, I was talking about two file blocks in the Panther section which were pointed out to be the same 

Oh, ok. Sorry about that.
