Flash uploader does not work

doodsaai · June 14th, 2009, 05:21 AM

Hi every one,

I have problems with the flash uploader.
If I upload files with the flash uploader, and the uploader says its done, I submit.

But after the submit I get a page wit this message:

"No Images to Display"

I remember that I used it successful before (I think)

What can be the problem?
Looking forward to a solution,
Sven

two things to check

1. Are you setting in vbgallery usergroup options allow file uploads from server to yes for all groups?

2. Are the files your uploading under your php max file upload hense after you upload and before hitting process is your uploads directory empty or full?

1) vbgallery >> administrators >> Can upload images directly from server = enabled (I'm an administrator, first user of VBulletin) Can upload images = enabled

2) in the folder /gallery/users there is a HTML file (always).
And when uploading (file is uploaded, but page upload.php has not been submitted) is complete (If i may believe the flash upload "1 file uploaded, waiting for you to hit submit below") there is a map with the name of my users ID. This map is empty. CHMOD for users is 777 aswel as the map of my user ID.

before I forget...

VBulletin info of admincp home:

PHP Max Post Size 8,00 MB
PHP Maximum Upload Size 8,00 MB

The photo files is less than 0,5Mb

Well if nothing every shows up in your users/1 directory then the file is not making it from the tmp folder on the folder to the users actual upload directory hense there is nothing to process.

We include the flash uploader as a yes no option because it is external unsupported code not written by us. You can turn it on or off if it works on your server or not. Some users have issues with it.

Hi chuck,

Thanks for your replay.

That is not good news, I payed for photopost pro (not vbgallery) and a brandfree license because users were able to easy upload photos (especially large numbers).

If this function does not work, than the main reason for using VBGallery is gone for me....

What other things are there we can check? You are revering to that it works on some servers.... I'm running this software on our own server's, so if I need to change settings, this is possible....

What more can we check for?
Looking forward for your reaction :-)

this probably already has been asked, but what version of flash are you running?
I newer version of SWF does not work on earlier version than Flash 10. YOu would figure it would be backwards compatible, but for me it didn't work that way.

Chuck S · June 15th, 2009, 08:33 AM

Well did the flash uploader work in PhotoPost Pro?

The point I am trying to make here is the flash uploader is developed by another company and we do not support it. This is clearly stated in the release. We release the code as is and there is an on off switch in the upload options.

If your trying to use the uploader and the file never makes it to the users uploads directory for the photopost vbgallery to take over and process a file then something in the flash part is not working.

@Chuck

Oke, no did not tested it in photopost pro. Photopost pro is (after using) not useful for us because the admin is not included in VBulletin, as well as the separated user info (even after migrating with vbulletin). Can I ask who the third party is? So I can contact them with my problem?

@Skidpics
Flash10. FF en IE both don't work. May I ask what the flash uploader in your message means? :-)

Chuck S · June 15th, 2009, 11:02 AM

swfupload.com I believe is the manufacturer.

Regs · June 16th, 2009, 10:52 AM

swfupload.org is the correct url.

I keep getting a 403 error when trying to use this new feature.

Everything is set as per the instructions given.

It's unfortunate that there is no support for this vBgallery feature.

doodsaai · June 16th, 2009, 11:02 AM

Error 403 is a server side error, not flash... (to be correct something is forbidden, properly a page.)

Yes found that site :-) to bad its a upload site and not able to help with this...

Fixed my issue, needed to create an .htaccess file and stick SecFilterScanPOST Off in it.

The flash uploader won't work if you are using apache with mod_security on - the above fixes the issue.

Chuck S · June 16th, 2009, 11:29 AM

I have been seeing more and more MOD SECURITY issues in the past couple months.

It is a good thing you turned that off

You should seriously consider putting together either an FAQ or knowledgebase for this product.

Chuck S · June 16th, 2009, 12:21 PM

I might post up something on this specific matter itself but we dont support or work with the flash code in any manner so we are unaware of all the errors that can come from its use.

When I switch on the flash uploader and try to upload a photo I get a small box drop down which shows the name of the file to be uploaded and the following text 'security warning'. That then disappears after a few seconds

Is this something that can be fixed by the suggestion in this post:

If mod security is on on your server yes this is something you can try.

I'm still unable get the flash uploader to work so I have switched it off. However, when uploading a photo in the normal way, I get this message flashed at the top of the screen for a few seconds:

argument 1 for print_standard_redirect(), called in /home2/rwfforum/public_html/gallery/upload.php on line 469 and defined in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 2972

Any ideas why this is coming up?

Thanks

LOL, nice to know that i'm not the only one with problems, and every one uses my topic for there problems :P

But if I read your error, [path] seems to me like it should be a variable.
Do you have the gally directory folder settings correctly configured?

Your gallery installation path (looking to your error) is:
/home2/rwfforum/public_html/gallery
