Flash uploader and Firefox - Page 2

skidpics · March 13th, 2009, 07:33 PM

Since the upload doesn't detect is flash is working correctly, I would suggest adding on line 228 this entry, so that people still have an option to upload ;-)

<input type="submit" value="{$Globals['pp_lang']['uploadsubmit']}" />
<br /><p><a href="{$Globals['maindir']}/uploadphoto.php?cat=$cat&noflash=1">Having trouble with the uploader?  Use the default version.</a></p>
PPPRINT;

Correct and Thanks for the help! I am not sure what hides the button, but I will compare some of the code. I am assuming the issue cannot be resolved in any another file other than the one we just worked with, correct?

I will just change the terminology for that button for now.

does this file for for the VB version also?

You can use that template for vb sure

Not sure what you mean about the flash detection it should detect if flash is installed or not and if not then it loads the default upload.

I think the problem is with the fact that it detected flash, but not the version number. My uploader was working with FF since it was still installed with 9, but with IE, it had 10, but the uploader did not detect that I had the incorrect version of Flash, thus it never went to the default uploader.

So in essence, the uploader should check to see if you have the correct version, rather than if you have it or not..?

Good call. It would be good for it to work with both.

Your talking about an older version. Flash detection is something different all together than being compatible with the version of flash your using. The old 6.2 was not compatible with flash 10 and in fact later we added code that you may not have had to detect version 10 and shut it down. The version installed with 6.2 only knew up to version 9

skidpics · March 13th, 2009, 10:57 PM

Right, but just in case, I placed a link into the file to revert to default IF for some reason it just isn't working.

I only knew it wasn't working because I had ppl contacting me on myspace about the issue

Chuck S · March 13th, 2009, 10:58 PM

Right but now you have a working one

skidpics · March 13th, 2009, 11:01 PM

indeed we do.. I checked the vb template, the submit is missing in it also, but I presume you already knew that..

I added it to both in the current build.

Michael,
Do you remember how you made the button not active until the uploads were complete like the 6.2 version?

I dont know if its just me or not, but I uploaded photos twice through the photopost demo gallery, and none of the time, I could locate complete process or submit photos. I could upload them correctly, but no way they could be submitted. Please let me know if the current build update has been fixed this issue because I want to upgrade to the 6.21 version as it is compatible with flash 9 and flash10.

skidpics · March 15th, 2009, 05:06 PM

They haven't updated the uploadphoto2.tmpl in their gallery yet..

The current build has been updated with the new files. ;-)

However, I do not think it works with Flash 9 - once I upgrade, my firefox with Flash 9 did not work ;-)

Not sure why it isn't backward compatible?

I had to upgrade my firefox plugin to Flash 10

The script should really detect if you do not have the correct version, then show a message to upgrade with a link to flash and a link to the base uploader or just go to the default one from the start. I have added a link below the submit button that will take the user to the defailt upload if there is a problem with the flash

Skidpics SWFUpload people would know those answers about there product.

skidpics · March 15th, 2009, 06:44 PM

I know chuck, and once I get some answers, I will post some of the results.

Chuck S · March 15th, 2009, 06:49 PM

I would think it should be backward compatible but who knows I did not write it so no idea.

skidpics · March 15th, 2009, 06:50 PM

Yea - I know it should be. All I know is that I did have a problem getting it to work once I updated the files..

Of course, I cannot test that now.. since I have one pc and upgraded to 10

Chuck S · March 15th, 2009, 06:51 PM

yeah only 2 pc's here and 4 browsers

skidpics · March 15th, 2009, 07:03 PM

4 browsers - crap, has anyone checked with Google Chrome or Opera to see if this works? LOL

BTW - your online demo hasn't been updated with new file yet ;-)
