Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.If it is BY DESIGN that imagefield won't let you add an upload field without proper permissions set on files (which actually makes a lot of sense) then my issue is instead about the error message displayed.
"The default image could not be uploaded. The destination sites/all/files does not exist or is not writable by the server."
I am not providing a default image. I just want to add this field to my node :-)
I believe I've never run into this problem before becuase I've never tried to set up content types on a server without write access to files, hopefully no one else will ever be in this predicament either, but I think it's still an issue. :-)

quicksketchThis patch should correct this problem (still in the 3.2 version). Basically it checks to see if a file was even attempted to be uploaded before doing any file system checks.
