Photo libary upload to NAS app

Post by AQLIVE » Thu Dec 18, 2014 8:02 am

Hi everyone

I'm new to the Lice code community however I have a wish to create an app that lets me look within the photo library checking for new photos. Whenever a new photo is detected it should be uploaded to a specific folder on a NAS.

I guess I need something like this

mobilePickPhoto "library" and somekind of timer that checks the libary each hour or so.
If new pictures are detected they should be uploaded to NAS using something like this I guess libURLftpUpload field "Data","f t p://ftp. example. org/file.txt"
But how do I know how many new photos has been created within that last hour?

Last addition to the app would be to make sure it only uploads to NAS if WIFI is on. This should be a selectable option using the switch button.

Hope anyone can point me in the right direction or maybe even have a small skype chat or something to help getting started.
Thanks in advance to all you awesome people :-)

There's not currently a way to scan the contents of the camera roll, you can only allow the user to choose an image. It may be possible with a custom external though. We have a few developers who can write custom externals, you'd need to contract with them for the work.
