This module looks promissing and I tried it on my internal test server. On FF I was able to get the page loaded and I was able to create several directories. But I can't upload files. The icon is there (next to create new directory) and the tooltip says it is there for uploading files. But clicking on it makes no difference. Also the help icon or the search icon. Nothing happens. Only the "New folder" icon works.

As I have a personal theme I thought this might be the reason for it, so I switched to Garland. But that makes no difference.

Then I changed to IE7 and that doesn't even load the DBFM page. It reports an error in line 153 pos 23 where a string or a number was expected.

Any idea what's going wrong?

Sorry for the previous report, that was a bit too early. I now found out that my greybox module was disabled, so when I enabled it and installed all the other required modules too, it started to something more.

But still not on IE7, it still shows up the Script error.

Also, I do not have clean URLs enabled and then, it doesn't work on any browser, because it loads distinct paths into the greybox, e.g. http://domain/upload_dbfm and that's just not known without clean URLs.

Hi jurgenhaas,

The DBFM module relies on a more advanced (and as yet unreleased) greybox module. This will likey be the root of your issues.

Clean URLs will need to be enabled for the moment.

Hello,

Just a note to let you know we've released a new version of the DBFM tool which addresses issues with MSIE (as in, it actually works in IE now).

The DBFM Greybox module has also been released - http://drupal.org/project/dbfmgreybox

The file directory is displayed but the upload link does not work. Files already within the directory are not displayed. Does it matter if the file system is public or private?

This module would be highly beneficial to us. Thanks for creating it.

DBFM stores files as Blobs in a database, not in the filesystem - so "Private/Public" options do not apply.

The text "This path is relative to "File system path" set in admin/settings/file-system and must be preceeded with a slash." is misleading and should have been removed.

If you want to store files in the filesystem, then you should take a look at WebFM.

Thanks for the updates. It now works on IE to the point that the window opens and things can be edited. However, it doesn't include the files into the database on windows. I've reported that separately in another bug report.

It's interesting that the new greybox works better on IE7 than on FF, the formatting is clearer. On FF the fields overlap.
