Hello,

I'm have a small problem with IE (6 & 7) when I update the file permissions for an uploaded file. I check the boxes in the file permissions pop-up and submit, I can see the changes in the database but if I close the pop-up window and right click the file and go back to file permissions all the ticks are gone again. Updating the file metadata works OK and it all works ok in firefox.

Regards
Jonathan

I had the same problem reported to me by a new user, and I can confirm that it seems to be a problem in both IE6 and IE7. I tested it on several computers, and in all cases, the checkboxes for permissions are blank when you right-click and get the popup. You can change them and the change seems to take, but you cannot tell what the settings are. Non-owners see the true and false values, but the owner sees only the unchecked boxes.

I upgraded to 5.x-2.15 and the problem is also in this release.

I'm aware of the IE caching issue but haven't had time to address it yet.

I found the problem, line 2350 in webfm.js:

// Build permission val from checkbox name
if(inputs[i].checked)

Simply enter this before that line:

if(inputs[i] == null) continue;

Fixed.

That gets rid of the error but I don't think it solves the problem. See #773016: File permissions pop-up problem in IE for a patch for version 6.x-2.12 which I think will work with this version as well.
