File

One more observation. (I wanted to wait until I heard about the image saving thing first, but I’ll go ahead)

When I have the extension enabled, an error is thrown if I try to create a new upload destination. The error I get is:

MySQL ERROR:

Error Number: 1064

Description: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

Query: SELECT * FROM exp_mh_file WHERE upload_id=

Update: Well, I see this has already been mentioned by several folks. Sorry to bring it up again.

Mark:

Very much appreciated the upload file extension. EE is great but file upload is sorry. This goes a long way.

I am getting the error:

MySQL ERROR: Error Number: 1064 Description: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1 Query: SELECT * FROM exp_mh_file WHERE upload_id=

When I try to add a new upload directory.

Posting this in case it helps anyone.

I had a problem using 3.1.0 where I wanted to set a limit on the upload folder of 800px by 600px. If an uploaded image exceeded these dimensions I wanted an error to be returned and if the image was within these dimensions I wanted the image uploaded without being resized. I set up the upload folder and the maximum width/height and set Resize Images to Do Not Resize. When I uploaded an image that was within the maximum width/height it got stretched to 800 x 600 pixels. I managed to fix this by changing:

//  Stretch Images, Happens By Default!
//  =============================================
else
{


}

to

//  Stretch Images, Happens By Default!
//  =============================================
else
{
$dst_width = $src_width;
$dst_height = $src_height;
}

I’m having trouble with the image resizing… I’m running EE 1.6.1 with File 3.10, I’ve tried 3.00 with the same result.

If I specify a max width or height and a resizing method, when I submit an entry with a file the browser just hangs and goes to a blank screen.

The url of the white screen is: index.php?S=adc1d0a74086ff6edd98b741eb65a6fdcdd51180&C=publish&M=new_entry The image ends up getting uploaded, but no thumb is generated.

If I change method to ‘do not resize’ it works as expected.

I’m resizing with ImageMagick and thumbnail generation works fine with the normal EE upload method, so I’m not sure what’s causing it.

Any help would be much appreciated!

@timkelty - I had a similar problem with multiple file fields. I think it was due to the amount of processing PHP was doing and what worked for me was increasing the memory_limit setting in php.ini. You could try uploading a really small (20Kb) image and see if this works - if it does then it’s probably your PHP settings not being able to cope with the size of images your uploading.

@benpowell I tried a 3KB image and still had the same issue.

I’m getting this exact same error (as Eric Snyder, above) when I try to add a new upload directory. Not sure what to do…but I do have to add another directory or two. Hmm!

UPDATE I see that jtnt’s comment from above is sort of hidden. Apparently to ad a new File upload Destination with File 3.1.0 installed, one has to:

Using build EE 1.6.1 20071114 and File v 3.1. I got around it as well by disabling the extension and making the directory, then re-enabling it.

Maybe I’m totally missing this, but how do you set the thumbnail sizes? In 2.x.x it was in the extension settings. but there isn’t extension settings anymore.

You set the max height and width in the File Upload settings for whatever location you assigned the field. For me, this brings me to a blank white screen when I try to publish, even though resizing with the built in ‘FIle Upload’ pop up works fine. Let me know if it works for you.

i understand that… but that setting just sets the max width and height for the full size image. i want to know how you set the max width and height for the thumbnail image.

I came across this today - just another option in developing the upload meter a little further - http://aariadne.com/uploadform/

In the current version I still don’t seem to be getting the current upload indication bar.

anyone know how to set THUMBNAIL sizes with the 3.1 release?

I don’t think you can set the thumbnails. Why don’t you use something else to generate the thumbnails on the templates like Imagesizer (plugin) or phpThumb (3rd party script)?

Based on the documentation, I assumed the thumb dimensions were set by whatever you set as the Max Width/Height for that upload destination:

Resize Images? [auto/crop/anchor_width/anchor_height/stretch/no] — Controls how images are resized (if at all). Auto — Requires Max Width & Max Height. Will fit the uploaded image within the size specified by Max With and Max height.

But I guess maybe I’m misunderstanding this…note that I haven’t gotten this to work, when I set a resize method and max height/width it freezes on posting (white screen).
