file uploader seems to be broken with new build…

agh, after getting everything working all nice in 4.4 / 4.5 – only to discover the file upload function was not so great – have updated to v5.0 for the express purpose of having that file upload feature (which worked beautifully yesterday) and now the upload attachments doesn’t even work along with the various other layout bugs I’ve had.  cry

When I hit upload, instead of bringing up the select files box to actually ADD files, it just shows the file upload constraints  below and that’s it.

You have some javascript conflicts there which probably explains this and the other issues you just raised.
So – ask again – has anything else other than SP changed? WP theme? Any other plugins?
and if all this was working before then it is important for us to discover the cause. Can you run the console (firebug or the error console) to see what error is reported?

Theme has not changed, only thing has been the update from 4 to 5.    Now that I think about it, I only tried to do file deletion when it was in version 4.5 (which did work) and I was actually using the file loader on YOUR forum in order to upload the screen shots, not on mine.   So basically, v5.0 has not worked on my domain.

I’ll see what I can find within firebug.

Looks like it’s conflicting with my picture slider that is being called from header.php

 

I’ll have to create a new page that uses a custom template without that call…

 

I’m trying on a test site right now and tried using the “load javascript and theme in test mode” and it came up with this:

 

The following javascript library is not available:
jQuery().prettyCheckboxes

 

what is that?

 

and this is what firebug is reporting when trying to use upload attachment button:

 

g.widget is not a function
 
 
I’m going to try getting rid of my slider and see if it works

Any iideas what these mean?  It seems the file uploader plugin is causing some grief as it was affecting ability of pages to load and ability to even post new topics.  Once I disable that plugin, the page loads nice and clean and firebug has no issues.

With the file uploader plugin installed, this is being spat out.

 

g.widget is not a function
 
jQuery(“#sp_file_uploader”).plupload is not a function

So uninstalling the “file uploader plugin” has fixed my dropdown box issues as well as the previous inability to delete items…

At least I’ve narrowed it down to the plugin – once that’s disabled, everything works fantastic!!   Now hopefully you guys can help me figure out why the file uploader plugin itself is causing it to break with those errors mentioned above!

since there was a lot of js and jquery and jquery ui changes in wp 3.3, are you sure the other plugin is compatible??

There is no other plugin… it’s now just your guys “upload file” plugin running with SimplePress 5.  I’ve removed that slider script from the header and load it only on the home page – so on the forum page, it’s basically just the forum running.

when I remove the file uploader plugin, then the planets realign.

so what build are you running?  from svn?  we had updated the file uploader this week for a js loading issue in some cases…

If you notice in your pic the buttons on the lower right are not correct either. Which does seem to point at some JQuery issue.

Is your site public? Something we can look at to check?

build 7392 does not include the fix for the odd js loading issue…  if you are not on svn or using the nightly builds, you will need to wait for our next beta update through the wp updater to see if it fixes it…  should be on Sunday…

Tried applying the latest build – 7468 – and now all the forums give me a “Invalid Database Query” error and a note that says “The requested forum does not exist” – even though I can see the list of forums.
