New Extension: nGen File Field for FieldFrame

This custom field was working just fine when I had selected “images only” for the upload destination preferences, but as soon as I selected “all file types” I end up getting this message:

Warning: exif_imagetype() [function.exif-imagetype]: Read error! in /www/eh10843/public_html/system/extensions/fieldtypes/ngen_file_field/ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 797

Anyone know what this is about?

This looks like a great extension, but I’m stumped. I’m trying to use version 0.9.10 with FieldFrame 1.2.1. When nGen File Field is enabled, my Publish and Edit pages in the CP are rendered totally blank (no error messages). I’m on a MAMP set up (if that matters). I am using FieldFrame with SL Google map, and that one is working just fine (as long as nGen File Field is disabled). Anyone have an idea?

That is usually down to incorrect paths in File Upload Settings.

Thanks for the response, but I have triple-checked my paths in the File Upload Settings, and they’re correct. Any other ideas?

Folder permissions? Also, do the folders exist?

Yes, the folders exist. I can upload files to them with the File Upload functionality included in EE.

Last time I setup nGen File Field in a MAMP environment I recall having some issues as well. Are any error messages coming up? If you can’t get error messages displayed in the browser try checking out your PHP error log. If you’re running with the default settings from MAMP you should be able to run this in terminal:

tail -f /Applications/MAMP/logs/php_error.log

If that’s not your path to MAMP you might need to modify that. This command (if you aren’t familiar with it) will show the most recent few lines of the document you specify and as the document is updated you will see the updates in Terminal. This means if you type that in and then access your Publish (or edit) page that is blank, you can debug with any errors that may appear there.

Sorry if this is all stuff you know, hopefully it can help out. I remember pulling my hair out before I figured it out a while back. I wish I could remember exactly what I had to do…

I’ve been getting the same…

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6592 bytes) in /home/ainswort/public_html/woodbrooknativeplantnursery/admin/extensions/fieldtypes/ngen_file_field/ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 842

…as @ainsworth with nGen version 0.9.10 and FieldFrame 1.2.1. Changing nGen File Field back to version 0.9.8 while leaving FieldFrame at 1.2.1 the problem goes away, so I really think there’s something up there….

We are having issues when using nGen File Field and the multiple site manager.

At first we had only one website running, but recently we installed the multiple site manager and created one more. After creating the second, the images we attached to weblog entry’s of the first website (using nGen field type) aren’t displayed anymore. We’ve checked the database and the information is still there, but the template gives “” as the output.

We did some testing, and after removing the custom weblog field, recreating the field again and creating a new weblog entry, the image of that specific entry is displayed. When we created another website that image also disappeared from the fronted.

No problem for now, as we created all four websites we are developing right now, but a big issue in the future. Would be a disaster if all images are gone after creating a new website 😊

I upped the memory in the PHP.ini file from 8M to 16M and am now up and running. Thanks everyone!

Feature request: I’m using an SAEF with multiple file uploads. Upload times could be long. I would love to have some kind of progress bar. Is this possible?

Hi im using nGen File Field with FieldFrame matrix, i am wondering if is there any chance to move the thumbnails in the same directory with image but append a different suffix a the end of the file’s name

something like this:

myimage001.jpg myimage001_th.jpg

I tried to made some custom changes and it works pretty well except if i edit the weblog the thumbnails are going to be generated continuously like:

myimage001_th.jpg myimage001_th_th.jpg myimage001_th_th_th.jpg

Second question! It there a way to resize the image keeping the same ratio instead of “cropping” it?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

I just uploaded a site to the final server on enginehosting, and while I had this working great on the previous server, I am now getting a php error on my publish pages that contain ngen file fields. here is the error:

Warning: exif_imagetype() [function.exif-imagetype]: Read error! in /www/eh10784/public_html/system/extensions/fieldtypes/ngen_file_field/ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 797

I have checked paths etc etc and afaik they are properly setup, any idea what could be causing this error?

I updated to fieldframe 1.3.0, and the latest 0.9.10 ngen file field. please help! 😊

thanks

I’m getting the same error as Ryan. Looks like the problem might be related to this? http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/124490/
