File

Phire_SK,

I’m using MAMP and under php_info it says gd support is enabled, version: bundled (2.0.34 compatible).

If I set the preferences to “do not resize”, the blank page issue goes away.

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..

Do you have it set to upload “ALL Files” or “Image Files”?

yes i do. like i said, the regular upload works fine, but not this extension.

OK got it working. the problem was there wasn’t any other field for that publish page. I added a custom ‘category type’ field and that did the trick. Now, how do I pull up the field to show in the page?

The pdf upload field as a link to the pdf?

<a href="http://{pdf_doc}">Some Name</a>

looks like its not working actually. I checked the directory that its supposed to dump to and no files were in there… I might have to end up entering each file manually via the default interface. bleh.

I really wanted the capability to clean the file names…

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…

Oh, should probably have said: I’m running EE 1.6.7, and the only other extensions I’m using are Accessible Captcha, jQuery and Shift’s FCKEditor. The extension file is set to 777, as is the upload directory.

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?

Weird question but I’m having issues with the file upload form allowing the .docm file type to be uploaded. Any clues what might be triggering this hang up?
