I am using SilverStripe 3.0

I am using UploadField to enable file upload from Silverstripe admin

I have written the following code in my custom Page Type:

//has_one array
static $has_one = array(
"MyIcon1" => "File"
);

//in getCMSFields
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Images", new UploadField('MyIcon1'));

My problem is that on a direct first page load, the upload does not work i.e. if you refresh the page or if you go to this page by typing its url, the file browser window is shown and after you select the file it only closes the file browser does not upload anything.....This happens in mozilla firefox only..

if u go to some other page and come back that is after ajax page loads it starts working....

Any help will be appreciated...Thanks in advance...

I was trying to follow the flow of UploadField.js and by adding alert is making the upload work properly on the first load also:

line no 59 approx. in framework/javascript/UploadField.js

$.entwine('ss', function($) {

$('div.ss-upload').entwine({

Config: null,

onmatch: function() {
alert('match');

Can someone please explain the reason..is there any particular event which is fired when i am alerting something....is there something that i can do on similar lines to make the upload work without alerting???

I'm having this same issue now in 3.1.2 in FireFox 26 on Mac on first load.

After reloading the CMS, the FileUpload doesn't work. No javascript call is made, no error. Switching to another menu item and then coming back, or first saving (=updating) the record makes it work. Adding your alert to UploadField.js also does the trick on first load.

The issue seems to be with this line UploadField.js ~#165:

var fileInput = this.find('.ss-uploadfield-fromcomputer-fileinput');

Placing the alert directly before this line makes it work, directly after this line no longer. Could it be some sort of timing issue, where ss-uploadfield-fromcomputer-fileinput cannot be found because it doesn't exist yet? This is in a scaffolded UploadField on a LeftAndMain extension.

Have you (or anyone) ever found out how to avoid this?

I seem to have 'fixed' the problem by wrapping the javascript in document.ready:

framework/javascript/UploadField.js

(function($) {
	$( document ).ready(function() {        // <-- ADDED
		...
	});                                     // <-- ADDED 
});

Can you confirm this?

martimiz, that fix does work.

This needs to be fixed in the release version. I can't believe it's still a problem over 2 years later.
