Fix for FileUpload Javascript error (0x80070057)

I am not sure if this is an issue for everyone, but I was having javascript issues with the FileUpload plugin. After several hours of debugging I managed to track down what was causing it and how to fix.

In fileupload.js, there is a call to gdn.url() which i guess wraps the upload form action string in the VF location. This was in fact returning an empty string. So what was happening was that the upload form action attribute was empty.

To fix, I had to hardcode my VF installation folder into fileupload.js like so:

Assuming the url to your forum is:
www.mysite.com/forum

Line 222 : fileupload.js
'action': "/forum/"+Action.join('/'),

and on line 430:
var FinalURL = "/forum/"+Action.join('/')+'?randval='+Math.random();

This seemed to fix my upload problems. Hope it helps someone else.

VF : Version 2.0.17.8
FileUpload : Version 1.4.0

It is better to find solution that is not dependent on forum location.

Be my guest. I think if dev's confirm this as an issue then gdn.url should work as expected.
