Unable to upload images

I can upload with imagefield. I think this may be a directory problem. In the wizard, it says the directory is "assets/michelle" and there is no such directory under "files". Plus, when I actually go to upload the image, the only directory to choose in the drop down is "assets". "Michelle" isn't an option. I'm going to try creating those directories and see if that fixes it.

Edit: I just realized that my image _is_ uploading but it's uploading to the root of "files" which makes me think I was right above.
Edit2: Creating the directories broke the asset wizard. It just sits there trying to load. I suspect I've got the permissions wrong. What should they be set to? Also, assuming this fixes the problem, how do I get asset to create the directory for other users so I don't have to do them all by hand?

Strange... There's lots of other directories in there created by Drupal. This is the only module having trouble. Not sure what to say at this point. Obviously this is working for other people or your issue queue would be full of complaints. :) I'll have to see if I can find someone with a working asset module to tell me what the permissions are set to on their directories.

Actually, I just looked again and the wizard not loading must have been a connection glitch. The wizard comes up but I still have the same problem as before. The directories are there but it uploads the file into the files root. I tried changing them to 777 and it didn't help so I guess it's not a permissions problem. For some reason asset just doesn't want to upload anywhere but the root. I guess I'll have to trace thru the code.

Ok, some debugging:

        if ($file = file_check_upload('upload')) {
          $parent_tmp = $form_values['parent'] ? $form_values['parent'] .'/' : $form_values['parent'];
          dsm("Parent: $parent_tmp");
          $path = file_create_path($parent_tmp . $file->filename);
          dsm("Path: $path");

"Parent" is empty and "Path" is "files/kira_ezri.jpg". I need to dig further to figure out why it's setting the path wrong but I need to leave for a few hours. Thought that might spark an idea if you're around.

Michelle

Had just a few more minutes so I tried to trace some more but I can't figure out where $form_values['parent'] gets set. Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Michelle

The only thing in the directory drop down is "assets" so there's no option to select anything else. It's not possible to select "michelle" and it seems like it should default there since I wouldn't want regular users uploading to the root... I'll try as a regular user and see what options I have, if any.

If the parent item is supposed to be what's in that drop down, then it's not getting set properly since that would be "assets"

Michelle

Ok, checked with a regular authenticated user. There's nothing in the dropdown at all. When I try to upload the file with that account, it makes a directory off files (NOT off assets) for that user and puts it in there. But still doesn't recognize that it's been uploaded in the wizard.

Any suggestions where to look from here? I'm willing to do the legwork since you can't repro this but I could use a bit of guidance about where to put the debugging code.

Thanks,

Michelle

Would I be better of switching to version 2? I know the recommended one is v1 but, since I can't get that to work...

Michelle

My client has asset on his site, which is on the same server, and it works for him other than the odd glitch here and there.

There's only one record in the asset table:

"5" "file" "test" "1" "1" "1205552667" "1205552667" "0" "" ""

That timestamp is from last March so is from when I first installed asset and it's not related to the file I've been trying to upload.

I'm sorry to hear asset 2 has been discontinued. :( I installed it to try it out a while back and it had such a nice UI. I've been hoping it would become the official one soon.

Is there anywhere I can set what directory asset should be using? I've gone through the asset* tables, the variables table, and the settings and can't see anything anywhere.

Thanks,

Michelle

Ok, completely reinstalling seems to have fixed the problem. Unfortunately, I've run into another one. The project page says it provides integration with imagecache 1 but it sounded like that was optional. But I can't find any place to turn the integration off and it's having a fatal error trying to find a function in imagecache. So I guess the issue here is fixed but I'll have to wait for imagecache 2 integration before I can use it.

Thanks for all your help. I should have just tried a complete re-install to begin with. I didn't realize just how long it had been since I installed it.

Oh? When it said it was in dev, I thought that meant in development, not that it was actually in the dev version. LOL! Awesome, I'll move to the dev, then. Thanks!
