Share - Firefox - File Upload Issue

sthurrott — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:59:14 GMT

We have installed Share on Linux, we have setup Apache Reverse Proxy with Self Signed Certificate and run into a couple of problems:1. We can't connect using Webdav, error says the folder is unavailable (my connection is as follows: https://myserver/alfresco/)2. We can't upload files using Firefo

Hi
I have the exact same problems with Alfresco enterprise 3 SP1. Have you found anyway to complete a file upload in Share with https?

I found that there is a JIRA ticket for this https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-884 and that it is depending on an issue with Adobe Flash player.

The only solution I can think of to allow https upload in Share is then to use the non-flash upload, until the bug in Flash is resolved.

How can i turn on http upload? and turn off flash upload?

Re: Share - Firefox - File Upload Issue

mikeh — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 13:49:15 GMT

The code auto-detect whether you have Flash installed or not.

The only way to disable the Flash uploader without uninstalling Flash would be to edit file-upload.js and look for:

this.hasRequiredFlashPlayer = Alfresco.util.hasRequiredFlashPlayer(9, 0, 45)‍

and change it to:

this.hasRequiredFlashPlayer = false‍

Thanks,
Mike

I'm getting "Could not load html upload template" after modifying this. Any thoughts?

in file html-upload.js, you have to correct line 219



    216           // If it hasn't load the gui (template) from the server
    217             Alfresco.util.Ajax.request(
    218             {
    219                url: Alfresco.constants.URL_SERVICECONTEXT + "components/upload/html-upload?htmlid=" + this.id,
    220                successCallback:

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

"modules/html-upload?htmlid=" replaced by "components/upload/html-upload?htmlid="

But, … html component is still no displayed, maybe a css issue, i don't know …..

"modules/html-upload?htmlid=" replaced by "components/upload/html-upload?htmlid="

But, … html component is still no displayed, maybe a css issue, i don't know …..

In fact there is a problem with the css propertie "hidden". In html-upload.js this propertie is not removed so the panel won't show.

To correct that you have to add something after the call to panel.render line 265 in html-upload.js


260         /**
261          * Render the server reponse so the contents get inserted in the Dom.
262          * Scripts in the template, such as setMessage(),  will also get run
263          * at this moment.
264         */
265         this.widgets.panel.render(document.body);
266         
267         //Remove the class hidden to display the panel
268         Dom.removeClass(this.id + "-dialog", "hidden");
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

With that the panel will show after clicking the upload button

Hope it will help

I'm still trying to "stabilize" the flash upload, without success, once it's working, once not. I'm going crazy

Any luck with get it stabilized? I'm supposed to evaluate Alfresco, but Firefox 3 is our standard browser. So this could pose a problem.

Thanks!

Try HEAD, which is now running YUI 2.7.0.

The bug lives somewhere between Adobe and Mozilla, so it's out of our hands unfortunately.

Here's an odd thing. If I open the document library page in Firefox 3.07, the content that handles the document functions is not visible or grayed out. But, if I open FireBug and just click on the <div> tag of any part of the hidden content and refresh the page, it's all there. :?: I don't even have to alter anything in firebug.

Re: Share - Firefox - File Upload Issue

mikeh — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 20:17:48 GMT

What other add-ons have you got installed? AdBlock Plus by any chance?

Mike

Re: Share - Firefox - File Upload Issue

dc41 — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 21:44:27 GMT

I do have adblock but it's disabled for the entire domain. I disabled it entirely and restarted, but that didn't make any difference.

As long as firebug is open (I detached it and minimized it), the DocLib works just fine. The rest of my extensions are:

Google toolbar
.Net Framework assistant
Smart Bookmarks

Re: Share - Firefox - File Upload Issue

rslygh — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 20:38:20 GMT

Ran across this thread and thought I'd throw in my two cents. Granted it's not exactly the same issue, and I have nothing to do with Alfresco. However, I manage a PC and Mac (all OS X 10.4) environment and have found that Firefox 3.0.8 on OS X will not support a file upload control within an ASP. NET page that we use on an internal webform. Firefox 3.0.8 for PC works fine, as does Firefox 3.0.6 on OS X (don't have 3.0.7 to test with). Also, file upload did not work in Safari until it was upgraded to 3.2.1 from an earlier version of 3.0. The .NET file upload control has nothing to do with Flash, unless Firefox and Safari both are using Flash to display the file upload box. Anyway, maybe it's helpful, maybe it's not, but I wanted to let you know that you're not the only one having issues with file upload in Firefox 3.0.8, but dersteppenwolf may not be having the problem because of the version. This may go deeper into the changes made between 3.0.7 and 3.0.8 for OS X. I've looked through the Firefox Bugzilla bug reports and found many with similar issues, but nothing exactly the same as I'm seeing. I'm also not even trying to upload anything. The users are using the file upload control to browse to a file, and then the web form uses that information to pull in the filename for tracking purposes.

Thanks

Here is a minor modification to what was already suggested so that only FireFox users are presented with the html file upload (file-upload.js):

this.hasRequiredFlashPlayer = Alfresco.util.hasRequiredFlashPlayer(9, 0, 45) && navigator.userAgent.indexOf ("Firefox") == -1;‍

Re: Share - Firefox - File Upload Issue

Interesting, but better to use YUI's browser detection instead:

this.hasRequiredFlashPlayer = Alfresco.util.hasRequiredFlashPlayer(9, 0, 45) && (YAHOO.env.ua.gecko > 0);‍
