Unwanted line break

2008-06-23T15:22:38-08:00

I’m not sure if this is because of the File extension, but it’s one possible cause, so here goes. I’m working on a photo gallery based largely on some work Ingmar Greil did, discussed in this thread. I mention this so you’ll know I’m not a whiz at php, just working at the cut-and-paste level. The problem that I’m having is that the rendered code sometimes breaks into a new line immediately after the image name. I’ve tried a bunch of different things, including uploading a few different files and sometimes it breaks, sometimes it doesn’t. I haven’t been able to figure out why. Here’s the code I’m using in the template:

<div id="prevnext">
{exp:weblog:next_entry}
<?php $path = explode('/','{id_path="lakes/photo"}'); $id = $path[count($path)-2];

$query2 = "SELECT field_id_4 AS image_next FROM exp_weblog_data WHERE entry_id = $id"; 
$result2 = mysql_query($query2,$db); $image = mysql_result($result2,0,"image_next"); 
?>

<div id="next"><span class="thumb"><em style="background-image:url('thumb/phpThumb.php?src=/photos/images/uploads/<?php echo $image;?>&amp;w=<?php if ($height>$width) { echo ('67');} else {echo ('89');} ?>');"><a href="{id_path="lakes/photo"}" accesskey="x" style="background:#fff;"></a></em></span></div>

{/exp:weblog:next_entry} 

{exp:weblog:prev_entry}
<?php $path = explode('/','{id_path="lakes/photo"}'); $id = $path[count($path)-2];

$query1 = "SELECT field_id_4 AS image_prev FROM exp_weblog_data WHERE entry_id = $id"; 
$result1 = mysql_query($query1,$db); $image = mysql_result($result1,0,"image_prev"); 
?>

<div id="prev"><span class="thumb"><em style="background-image:url('thumb/phpThumb.php?src=/photos/images/uploads/<?php echo $image;?>&amp;w=<?php if ($height>$width) { echo ('67');} else {echo ('89');} ?>');"><a href="{id_path="lakes/photo"}" accesskey="x" style="background:#fff;"></a></em></span></div>

{/exp:weblog:prev_entry}

Here’s an example of rendered code, where you can see the line break after the jpg:

<div id="next"><span class="thumb"><em style="background-image:url('thumb/phpThumb.php?src=/photos/images/uploads/244497-2.jpg

&w=89');"><a href="http://www.mysite.org/photos/index.php?/lakes/photo/3/" accesskey="x" style="background:#fff;"></a></em></span></div>

I’ve spent hours on this today and cannot figure out what could be causing those random line breaks. Has the File Extension ever been known to add spaces or other hidden characters to the file names on upload? Any other ideas?

Insert image(s) in posts

2008-06-18T06:57:54-08:00

I’m using this extension now on a site and it works great (custom field hard coded into template). Problem is, the client wants to be able to insert multiple images (preferably with captions) at positions of her choosing in blog posts. Is there any way to do that with the File Extension? The only way I could think of was to create separate custom fields (photo2, photo3, etc.), allow EE tags in entries, and then instruct client how to insert tag. Seems kludgy, but much reading in EE forums doesn’t reveal any great solutions that I could find, so I thought I’d ask here about any ways to use the File extension for this purpose.

can upload to any directory?

2008-06-17T10:09:06-08:00

I am just curious if there is a way to upload to any directory without having to setup an upload section in EE. in other words, lets say in EE I have a “clients” directory where anyone can upload, but i want to be able to upload inot subdirectories inside “clients” which coinside with the {username} tag.

so “clients” is an upload directory in EE.

can I do something like:
destination="clients/{username}"
or
destination="clients/some-other-name"
??????

thanks

Insert URL not Link into Custom-Field

2008-06-04T00:26:28-08:00

hi folks

i’m very confused: i use the File-Upload-Module on my own site and on one of my customers.

now if i upload a file on the customer-site and place the image into the custom-field (type="hidden") the EE-URL (f.ex. «{filedir_12}test.png») has been placed into this field…

now if i upload a fiel on my own site and place the image into the custom-field (type="text") the Link (f.ex. < img src = “{filedir_12}test.png” alt… / >) has been placed into this field…

BUT i need only the URL (as it does on the customer-site, but i can’t change the field-type to hidden! it has to be text) … where can i set this pref? I haven’t change anything neither on the customter nor on my own site

File Upload plugged into SAEF rather than through Pop-Up

2008-05-01T04:37:25-08:00

Is there anyway in the world we can have a more traditional file upload field rather than a popup window for it? I’m a bit perplexed as why ExpressionEngine opted for such a non-traditional method of uploading information.. I do see it’s uses, but it totally breaks conventional wisdom for the front-end for those more technically declined.

I recall reading some threads on the EE boards about this, but no resolutions. Was wondering is Solspace has any idea how to implement this considering you’ve done some amazing modules already.

I have been thinking of running ExpressionEngine for a couple sites, but one important aspect of them is user-generated content. A normal SAEF is fine, but when it comes to uploading images and files, a more traditional method is a total must.

Cheers,
D.

Error message in file_upload_template, won’t progress to file_upload_placement

2008-04-28T21:05:17-08:00

Hey folks, I’ve had the File Upload module work great before, but now it’s running into trouble. I upgraded this site to the latest build of EE 1.6.3, and I have the same problems. The site is hosted on Media Temple, which is the only difference I can see.

When it launches the file_upload_template in the popup window, it immediately lists this error:

Notice: Undefined index: id in /mnt/gs02/herd05/19242/domains/mysite.net/html/ee/modules/file_upload/mod.file_upload.php on line 191

I’m not sure where the /mnt/gs02/herd05 comes from in my server path. It should look something like /home/19242/domains/mysite.net/ee/modules.

If you try to progress further, by clicking upload, file_upload_placement blanks/whites out.

I can upload the file normally through the control panel, to the destination folder, with no problems. This is um, weird. Any ideas?

Most grateful for your help!

Supported file types?

2008-04-11T15:44:34-08:00

I’m only seeing references to image files—will this extension also work for PDFs, docs, Excel files, zip files,etc?

Thanks

Just bought Module and need help

2007-08-02T07:02:27-08:00

I installed the module and am gettiung the below error msg:
“""""
The following errors were encountered

* No form name was provided to receive the link created by file upload. Please contact customer service.
“""""

Is the form name this:"exp:weblog:entry_form “, so it would be entry_form, correct?

Please advise.

How do I use the File Upload along with other custom weblog fields?

2007-06-18T14:51:33-08:00

I have bought several items from you - including the SAEF file upload module. It is working great (with your help), but I have one issue.

I’m now using it in another form and I’m having the field data go into a textinput field in the custom fields - but i also have OTHER textinput fields on the same SAEF - so how do I make it not apply the “file upload” input to ALL textinput fields in that SAEF. Does that make sense? In other words, I have a form with multiple textinput fields and textareas yet I want to have one field that allows for file uploads (via your plugin).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Current version is File Upload 2.1 - Build 20080306

2008-03-06T08:19:14-08:00

File Upload 2.1 - Build 20080306

This module allows you to build a simplified version of the standard ExpressionEngine file upload function. It works along with an ExpressionEngine stand-alone entry form. The method requires two templates; one that contains the form that facilitates the file upload and another that helps users place the HTML code referencing the file in a field of your entry form. You start the process by popping open a new window from the page containing your stand-alone entry form. This new window calls the first of your two file upload templates.

This module uses much of the same functions and rules that the standard ExpressionEngine upload method uses, including user permissions. Your members must be logged in to use the function. As well, they must belong to a member group to which you have given upload permissions through the file upload location definition.

» Current Version: 2.1 - Build 20080306

» Compatibility: ExpressionEngine 1.6.2

» Price: $35.00
