    Hi.
    Banner uploads. Multiple files upload attached.
    Yes, all files are uploaded to the server and reside in the upload/fileuploader folder.

    you could be timing out. that has happened to me with a slow connection.

    edited: actually probably not - since you say files were uploaded. but check your thumbnails are they being created - could be a problem there.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    I can't find any thumbnails in that upload folders.

    do you have

    uploads/thumbnails/FileUpload

    and is it set to proper permissions for writing files

    this could be a red herring since its a swag (scientific wild-ass guess) but worth a look.

    and can you uploads avatar pics to your profile.

    have you looked at with your web-developer tools to see what is happening maybe.

    responses and requests, etc. in network tab

    I had no uploads/thumbnails/FileUpload, but have just created. Nothing. For testing purpose I have set 777. Nothing again.

    and yes, there are user pics and thumbnails in the upload folder. and my profile has avatar.

  • inteninten New

    IE gives me this save as dialog. Chrome still shows never-ending upload. Any ideas?

    but where is it? /forum\/utility\/thumbnail\/FileUpload\/73\/be926b29d5980970f042123ed63c8b.jpg

  • inteninten New

    OK, I got it. the URL /forum/utility/thumbnail/FileUpload/73/be926b29d5980970f042123ed63c8b.jpg gives me pic's thumbnail. Looks like (it's a swag :)) the problem is to save the file to local folder.

    Incredible! How come file upload function can causes so many troubles out-of-box? This is just a file upload!!! Just take a look at the quantity of discussions. Unbelievable! Just the file upload.

    granted many people have problems with fileupload for a variety of reasons.

    • one reason is you are using it with beta software and it was written for a previous release.

    • many people don't know how to set up the permissions on their folder properly and set up proper folders

    want to make it better....

    • you should write a better one and post your changes on github, as well as wiki

    @inten said: Thank you advance.

    You're welcome in the present. At least you got it solved, perhaps with a little insights from the community.

    so in essence you were lacking a thumbnail folder that was required.
    I believe in 2.0.18.8 the thumbnail folder is uploads/thumbnails/FileUpload

    and from what you say the thumbnail folder in 2.1b2 is utility/thumbnail/FileUpload/

    and both folders need write and execute permissions for the owner of the process

    I guess it pays to look in the request and response headers in web developer tools.

  • inteninten New

    No, that wasn't my solution, the problem still exists.

  • inteninten New

    The problem is why IE throws out a save as dialog for .json file.

    when using 2.1b2 and the plugin was creating by the vanilla staff - you need to check github for any updates - which i am sure their is - whether it works for you is another question, but there is a more recent version.

    confusing, absolutely!

    as you may note they are using version 1.8 of the plugin on this forum

    report back if that solves your problem

    and I suspect the creation of a utility folder was not the correct thing, if you did create it.

    /utility is kind of a phantom area.

    Hi There,

    I've tried to work this through and I'm struggling. I have vanilla 2.0.18.8. I have downloaded from the forum FileUpload 1.5.2 which was last updated in October 2011.

    I've created the folder uploads/thumbnails/FileUpload and it has full wrx for all (777 permissions)

    I get the issue as described above with a persistent uploading... message and nothing else.

    I note from above there is a version 1.8 but only from github. I cannot work out how to download a zip file or tarball from there.

    I haven't used git much before but I am familiar with throwing *nix commands around. Is there an obvious way to download it using something akin to wget?

    Cheers

    Dave
