Upload description field in 5.3 gone....

funkmiester · January 25th, 2006, 01:24 AM

I just upgraded to 5.3 and when I go to upload a picture everything works fine except the field where I need to type a description for the photo is not there! The text and section is there, but nowhere to type in a descripton (see attachment).

I can upload ok and then edit the photo and put in a description at that point, but not at the initial upload?

I'm running with the default "out of the box" template straight from the zip - so out of curiousity, I tried reverting to the default 5.21 uploadphoto.tmpl and it works perfectly! So it's something to do with that template or in combination with something else in 5.3?

Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks However looking at the files and testing my install I see no issue with the 5.3 templates in uploadphoto.tmpl

Does yours look like this for photo description? There was a bug in 5.21 that was fixed

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I was going to upgrade this morning untill I read this post.
Will be waiting for the fix before going ahead with upgrade.

Yes, it does. This is what is in the 5.3 zip I downloaded a few hours ago. Has it been updated since then - should I re-download now? Or something else? Thanks.

I downloaded the files last nite and the code looks the same as both of yours in uploadphoto.tmpl.
I will do the upgrade and see if I am missing the description box the same as funkmiester with the files I have.

If thats it there then there should be a description box

I see one. If you go here and login with testing and testing do you see a description box?

I did the upgrade by upgrading all the files that Michael said had been changed in his post announcing the new upgrade to 5.3.

It said it upgraded ok but I still have version 5.2.1 showing in admin-index instead of 5.3.

I also do not have a description box showing as is showing on your test site Chuck. It is like funkmiester's image he has attached above.

I am wondering now if all files should be uploaded instead of the ones Michael said had changed.

I can give you admin acess if you need it.

I see the problem just make your table row for the description what I posted above

iloco · January 25th, 2006, 10:18 AM

I have the same code in my uploadphoto.tmpl that you show in your above code.

What am I missing.

Here is my code from my uploadphoto.tmpl file.

CODE: "<tr>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}" align="left">{$Globals['pp_lang']['photodesc']}</td>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}" align="left"><textareahtml name="defdesc" cols="50" rows="10"></textareahtml></td>
</tr>"

If you copy the code as I have posted you will have a description box.

iloco · January 25th, 2006, 12:35 PM

Chuck I copied this code: " <tr>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}" align="left">{$Globals['pp_lang']['photodesc']}</td>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}" align="left"><textareahtml name="defdesc" cols="50" rows="10"></textareahtml></td>
</tr>
<tr>" Which came from your code box in above post and replaced the code I posted with yours and still no description box. ????????????

I will download a new set of 5.3 files and upload the uploadphoto.tmpl from a new set of files and see what hapens.

funkmiester · January 25th, 2006, 12:39 PM

I did that Chuck and it's still the same. I can only get it working by reverting to my default 5.21 uploadphoto.tmpl file. I also just downloaded 5.3 again, but still the same result.

iloco · January 25th, 2006, 12:44 PM

Chuck here is login info that might help you.

My Gallery is Here

User name: brat
Password: test

I have uploaded the older 5.2.1 uploadphoto.tmpl files to get the description box back so user can use it.
I will change these when the problem has been fixed.

I can put the newer files back if anyone wants to have a look using the login information thats here.

bwolcott · January 25th, 2006, 02:39 PM

Ok so whats up. I also have no description field in the upload area.... the code you have above is the same as mine.....

Need this fixed asap....

Chuck S · January 25th, 2006, 02:51 PM

iloco · January 25th, 2006, 02:59 PM

Did as you said and now get this code in the description box.

"</textareahtml></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="left">Keywords</td>
<td class="alt1" align="left"><input type="text" size="50" name="keywords" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="alt1" align="center">

It should be blank so can type a description in it and not have this code in it.

When will a new set of files be ready to download so I can get a fresh set of uploadphoto.tmpl.
