FileUpload doesn't upload

PatrickT

I have FileUpload v1.5.2 installed on Vanilla 2.1.8.p2. When I attach a file, the progress bar appears but the upload task itself does not stop.

Any suggestions.

So...I upgraded to V1.8.4 of FileUpload. I was able to attach one file. Subsequent attempts to attach files result in a progress bar running ad infinitum.

Have you tried this one?

Bleistivt...

The problem was that I was not able to obtain V1.8.4 directly from Vanilla Forums. I did follow the instructions in the posting that you cite and was...eventually...able to get it going.

Thanks

V Ver 2.1.8 Upload ver 1.5.2 The file upload does not work, I select, then Upload, then insert. The photo file icon is there, I post and nothing is there. On basic upload it just hangs with the bar showing. I know what you will say go to GITHUB, and get ver 1.8.4 I don't know how to download from GITHUB, I have tried but don't understand GITHUB at all. I don't understand why there is a vanilla Addon facility, if the working stuff is on GITHUB. Can someone explain please?

Hey @DenisS,

If you're trying to download this FileUpload plugin here:

https://github.com/vanilla/addons/tree/master/plugins/FileUpload

I have attached a zip version below. Hope that helps.

There's the default download button on the right side of the repository but this will get the whole addon package.

If you need to get specific folder contents, there's one solution here with the use of bash shell, gitbash or similar:

Thanks @rasteron for trying to help: I upziped that file and installed it and my site just has a blank screen, delete the upload file and it's ok.

@DenisS

Great. So did you manage to get it to work? Make sure to also have the appropriate file permissions with your upload folders.

Enbaled Debug and got this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method CategoryModel::PermissionCategory() in /home3/hann/public_html/isaanexpats/plugins/FileUpload/class.fileupload.plugin.php on line 61>>
$this->CanUpload = FALSE; I did try changing to TRUE but the same fault

This will hopefully be fixed with 2.1.9

Hopefully, although I understand they are replacing this plugin with the upload that goes with the button bar repalcment.

Actually I don't get FileUpload running (Vanilla v2.1.8p2). Installed from "https://github.com/vanilla/addons/tree/master/plugins/FileUpload", it shows up with "attach file", you can select a file, but the progress bar keeps running and running.

Indeed it DOES upload the file in background successfully. Ignoring the the still runing progress bar and clicking "post comment", posts the comment, but no attachment shows up.

The FileUpload-"Readme" says "INSTALL PECL APC (Alternative PHP Cache)". Is this mandatory or do other caches or just no cache work aswell?
