Issues with Mark Huot's File Extension
Development and Programming
Hi All-
I’m having a really strange issue with Mark Huot’s File Extension. I love this extension, and it really helps alot in stream-lining file uploads for fields that require it. However, after taking a site live, I’m having issues with the extension and I was wondering if anyone else has had these issues, and any suggestions on a solution. Here’s what’s going on:
A lot of the time, when you submit the entry after adding a file, it just doesn’t upload the file. If you go back and try to add it, it may or may not work.
Sometimes the field just kipputz’s completely and I get this on my screen:
When #2 happens, the whole entry fails to show on the front-end of the site…it seems like it is actually rendering the whole entry dead.
I’m not sure how to fix this, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Best,
Josh
Hey Josh,
I’ve never seen that happen. Does it produce any PHP errors when that happens? Is this a new problem or an old one? Is this particular to one site/host or does it happen across installations?
You might try turning on error reporting and seeing if it spits up any useful information.
Josh - have you come up with anything on this? I’m having a pretty similar problem - on a site that is about to launch, but lots of entries in already.
I had some problems like this which were related to the PHP filesize upload limit on the server. There was no “upload failed” type error on saving in the EE admin, but when I increased the limit, the problem was solved.
One way to increase the limit is to add a line like this to your EE .htaccess file:
php_value upload_max_filesize 10MHope that helps.
