New Extension: nGen File Field for FieldFrame

This does not sound good!! My development site is working great but once I make it public, is it going to break? I’m on a shared server and can’t just willy-nilly add memory for php environment.

Is there any way the developers can get together on this?

Suddenly today I needed to increase my php_memory_limit to 128MB, after months of the site operating just fine at 64MB. …Any ideas what would cause this? The server hasn’t been tampered with (its a vps and I haven’t done anything with it). Thanks!

I just started getting this error today as well. Nothing on the server has changed and up until this point, everything was working fine.

I don’t see anything about a memory fix there, can you summarize here?

sorry it’s the post above that one: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/110252/P414/#645526

Thanks Argyll, Your reply helped me to stop searching for the filename and I used the Find and Replace plugin to sort this out…It’s working exactly i wanted.

I have a really wierd problem where my file field is no longer uploading images. I had a matrix with a file upload and a caption field and up until a few days I could upload images fine. Now though the form submits successfully but there is no image uploaded and no thumbnail to view. I’m getting no error messages and the folder permissions are correct on the server.

Just in case you may want to check if the space on the server is not exhausted ?

I was also getting the dreaded out-of-memory error after my client uploaded a series of images that were too big, which choked the “use existing images” feature.

I agree that it would be really great if a feature was added to this extension that made it check / respect filesize / image dimension upload limits that are set in the EE Control Panel, and stop the user from uploading a problematic image file.

Nightshade, thanks so much for your additional code. I’m going to try it out, and also ask nGen if they can incorporate it into a new release of the field.

Liam, thanks so much for your technique— using FTP I simply located the too-big files within the upload file folders that were causing the problem, downloaded and resized them, then replaced the images on the server with my smaller versions. Everything started working again normally.

I’ve got an issue using nGen File Field with Fieldframe matrix in a saef.

When I save the entry, I get the following:

Notice: Undefined index: field_id_19 in /home/subbuild/public_html/admin/extensions/fieldtypes/ngen_file_field/ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 424

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/subbuild/public_html/admin/extensions/fieldtypes/ngen_file_field/ft.ngen_file_field.php:424) in /home/portland/public_html/admin/core/core.functions.php on line 296

The entry actually saves ok though… strange!

Posted on Brandon Kelly’s Get Satisfaction initially but he thought it looked like a File Field thing. I’m using the latest version as downloaded today.

Any ideas what might be happening here?

What’s the best way to handle clients who attempt to upload 300dpi images, which then causes Iage Sizer to fall over? I have file size limits in place but this is not enough. Telling them doesn’t seem to be enough 😉

Sorry to chase this up like this but I really could do with getting this issue sorted as I’m due to hand over this system to my client next week.

Does anyone have any clues? Many thanks in advance =)

I am having some issues on the backend. I recently used the plugin for a client site and it was working fine, I created a field for videos, and the client would upload through ftp and then choose an existing file since I think it wouldn’t work uploading a 50mb file through the interface. Like I said everything was working fine but now it takes like 10-15 minutes for the backend to open a edit or post new entry page. I removed the ngen file upload and it worked just fine.

I had posted this in another thread and Mark Bowen had said he thinks it might be because it is trying to make a thumbnail out of the file and of course it never will.

Any help moving forward with this would be greatly appreciated, my client is getting restless. I would like to keep using the ngen file upload for this even if the client isn’t uploading through the interface because it just makes it easier to manage.

Hiya,

I had posted this in another thread and Mark Bowen had said he thinks it might be because it is trying to make a thumbnail out of the file and of course it never will.

Actually giving this a test on my server (I tried with a 15MB .mov file) it seemed to work fine. It just showed the name of the file and I was able to choose it and it didn’t try to make a thumbnail so I suspect there might be something else at play here.

yeah it worked fine when there were only a few videos, but now he has about 30 videos up there and it is slow. I have no idea what it could be or how to debug it.
