Hi,

I use the latest (trunk) version of SWFUpload (rev 432), DataUploadManager (rev 432) and the Gallery and Silverstripe 4.1.

I have some problems that appeared in earlier forum posts (e.g. here and here) but none of the solutions helped.

I tried to

• * update everything to the latest trunk version.

• * set the assets folder permissions to recursive 777

• * session.use_only_cookies is off

• * SWFUploadField.php contains SWFUploadConfig::addPostParam('PHPSESSID',session_id());

• * I tried some small patches to Sapphire that were mentioned in another related post (didn't help so I reverted the changes)

• * and a number of other things that didn't seem to work
  

Here is the SWFUpload debug of the failed upload.

The upload fails in the CMS in the "Files & Images" tab.

However, the upload works perfectly well in the CMS "Pages" tab when I add images to a gallery. It shows "processing" and then "completed". No issues. Here is the "healthy" debug.

What I also notice is that every time I upload or try to upload images (both in the "Files & Images" and the "Pages" tab I get logged out. I'm just guessing but this might be connected to the problem.

I'm looking forward to the new module that will replace the SWFUploader but for the meanwhile I hope I'll find a way to fix the issue so that my client can use the site properly.

I need SWFUpload for the gallery, otherwise I get a fatal error. Or is there any way to disable SWFUpload except for the gallery module or Dataobject Manager? I know that the built-in "Files & Images" uploader works.

Any hint is appreciated. I really don't know what else I could try.

Cheers!

Hi again,

OK, here is a (temporary) solution for my problem. Hopefully until I can replace it with the new replacement module for SWFUpload. Very very very very very ugly ... you have been warned. I'm off on holiday on Friday and I don't want to take a heavy suitcase of coding problems with me and leave an unhappy client behind.

I simply added the if condition below around all code of the following files:

/swfupload/code/SWFUploadField.php
/dataobject_manager/_config.php
/dataobject_manager/code/DataObjectManager.php

Added code in green:

<?php
if (!preg_match("/^\/admin\/assets\//",$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])) {

class SWFUploadField extends FileField
{
...etc...
}

}
?>

So just ignore any of the code of all 3 files if we are in the Assets area, i.e. "Files & Images". So the Assets area uses the default file upload field.

I told you it was ugly - but it does the trick.

I still get logged out when I upload images to the gallery, but for now I can live with that. I'm very much looking forward to the new module though!

Oh, and if anyone does have a more elegant solution or can solve my problem as described above please please do post!

Cheers!

DataObjectManager::allow_assets_override(false);

Perfect! Thank you!

UncleCheese, can you document that in http://doc.silverstripe.org/modules:swfuploadfield? Thanks!
