How to enable "Attach Files" button

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi

I am able to installed JForum 2.1.6 version and enabled auto login feature using a cookie for SSO. Every thing is working fine.

But "Attach Files" button is not showing in "new topic" and "post reply" pages even it is enabled in configuration.

Groups-> Permissions->Attachements

Enable Attachments : Aloow All (Option selcted)

Other than the above change do i need to update any where else?


Thanks,
Gopal

This bug is fixed already.

For now, create the directory "tmp" on the root of your application context, and give it full write access.

Thanks Rafael.

Uploading big file is working fine after tmp directory created.

But "attach files" button is not working from mac machine. We tried from both safari and firefox browsers.

Is there any fix for this issue?

Hm, there must be a problem with the javascript code.

You can create an issue in the bug tracker - http://www.jforum.net/jira

Hi Rafael,

Here is the few more details:

I traced two issues with safari browser on Mac OS.

1) If the form input field doesn't have name then onclick event is not firing in safari browser. (Example: It is allowing me to post empty message)

2) When a post a topic with attachement following two fields are not submitting. I mean Safari browser not able to submit these fields.

i) file_#N# ex: file_0,file_1,etc.
ii) comment_#N# ex:comment_0,comment_1,etc

I already added above information as comment to the existing bug.

We need this to be fixed asap.

Hi Rafael,

In validatePostForm javascript function i tried the following two ways to print form input fileds:

1) With the following code it is displaying all fields in IE but in Safarai file_#N and comment_#N fileds are not listing

for (var i=0; i<38; i++) {
var theElement = f.elements[i];
alert("Name: " + theElement.name + " Value : " + theElement.value + " Type : " +theElement.type);
}

2) With the following code it is displaying all fields in both IE and Safarai. Including file_#N and comment_#N fileds also.

var x = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++) { >
var fl = x[i];
alert("Name: " + fl.name + " Value : " + fl.value + " Type : " +fl.type );
}


Do you have any idea why it is not listing in the above script?

Haven't you inverted the order of the scripts? :P

Does Safari supports document.getElementsByTagName() ?

Rafael

Yes, Safari support document.getElementsByTagName().

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/Tasks/DOM.html

I didn't change any order. I just added the above code to display the input fields.

Hi Rafael,

Finally i am able to make it work with safari and mozilla browsers. In header.html one of my developer customozed the header.html file in that process we missed few <tr> and <td> tags. Once i added those it worked fine. Actually there is no javascript issue

I uploaded on your community test forum now it is working fine :!: . I don't know why it didn't work for me few days back.


Thanks,
Gopal
