Has anyone figured out a fix to the issue of getting a blank screen when you click publish? The image is uploaded but it is not resized. No thumbnails created. The blank screen happens when I have the max width / height values filled in. I need the anchor to width option to work. I’m using the newest version of the extension with EE 1.6.7 Also, the max bytes setting doesn’t work either. It lets me upload images larger than the max bytes.
Most likely you don’t have GD Graphics enabled on your server. You need that (or possibily another image program) on your server to do the conversion. If you make a simple PHP file and put this inside:
<?
echo phpinfo();
?>
You can then do a search for GD and see if it is installed.
Another test is to remove the resizing from your preferences for that image upload. Set it to none and then try to upload a photo. If the blank screen goes away, then for sure the problem is no image manipulator is installed on your server.
I am getting an error when using the extension.
Error
* Upload Brochures – There was a problem uploading ‘3com_401000.pdf’.
When using the regular file upload native to EE it works fine, so I know it has nothing to do with the path or anything.
Any thoughts on this? ITs not the most descriptive error..
Has anyone worked out a fix to get {count} to work in File?
Edit that : it seems that {count} works in certain circumstances.
I have dynamic=”off” in the weblog tag that the file and if I browse to url that has a {segment_1} value (ie. index.php/news) the {count} variable works fine.
If I go to a url that has a {segment_2} value (ie. index.php/news/news_title) the {count} variable doesn’t work?
Hello,
The option to “Automagically rename this file the next time it’s uploaded?” doesn’t seem to work for me. I check the box, re-upload, and get the same warning.
Changing the option “Rewrite filenames” to “Yes” in upload preferences fixes it, but I would rather keep original file names where possible.
The image directory is writable.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?
Thanks, Paul
Hi All
I had this working great, but suddenly it won’t upload at all. I can’t see anything that I’ve changed that should effect it. After selecting a file, on my local testing server (apache on osx) it just never loads the next page. When I test it on the live (linux) server, I get “Error: [name of custom field] – There was a problem uploading [name of image].”
I’ve seen a bug fix for this on windows machines related to paths getting unix-style forward slashes (http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/38997/P648/#449805), but I’m on linux so that doesn’t work for me. Anyone else had this problem on Linux?
Thanks LOADS for any help - this site is already late launching and this is driving me insane…

I don’t know the answer but try turning off auto resizing and see if it works. My experience when seeing the blank screen was that the resizing wasn’t working.
http://ellislab.com/forums/viewreply/569604/ - was a post I made previously about checking to see if GD Graphics was installed.
You can find info about the GD library here: http://www.libgd.org/Main_Page
Since GD is pretty standard in PHP, here are some instructions on how to enable it: http://www.libgd.org/FAQ_PHP#How_do_I_get_gd_to_work_with_PHP.3F
Thanks for such a speedy reply!
I found the problem with the live site - I’d imported a new database in, and forgot to reset the upload directories (I think I need sleep…)
But locally it’s still just crashing. It turns out I don’t have GD Graphics, but I shouldn’t need them if I’m not resizing, no? Interestingly, I can’t seem to switch to “Do not resize” in the prefs. I select it and save, then when I go back to it it’s back on “Auto”. Could this be what’s causing it?
