Flash player version 10 was released yesterday.It will break many flash based upload code libs including YUI uploader. Looks like yahoo has a newer version that will work with both version 9 and 10 of the flash player but code needs to change to use it.I haven't tried Share file upload with flash p

Hi Steve

I can confirm that the multi-file uploader in Share does not work with Flash 10, so we would not recommend it to be installed yet. The uploader will "fall back" to the HTML form, allowing one file at a time.

In order for us to upgrade to YUI 2.6.0 (from 2.5.2) we have to fix certain other breaking changes across the site (as do all other YUI sites). We don't currently have a target date for this upgrade, but I'd hope it would be sometime before the end of 2008.

Thanks,
Mike

What is the status of these changes? I can not seem to get it working with me under Linux/Firefox 3.0.5 with the following versions of flash. They all show a dialog box without a button to select files, except for one:

9r41

9r151

9r152

9r31, no dialog box. Just reports: Could not load html upload template

9r124

9r115

10r15_3

10r12_36

I am using build 1526.

Label 3 Final (the one linked from the wiki homepage (and the one you have there, 1526) has the required YUI upgrade. We've seen some issues with Firefox 3 on OS X too, so I suspect it's also going to be similarly flaky with Linux. It's a shame Adobe don't put quite as much effort into non-Windows versions of Flash.

Anyway, Flash 10 *should* work. Make sure you've switched off any adblock / Flash blockers; AdBlock Plus is known to mess up Share due to it's invasive JavaScript injection and Flash blocking.

Well, disabling NoScript resulted in the upload system working.

I'll also check with my friend that wasn't able to see the upload button - using Mac OSX - and various browsers. But I have no details to share.

I will report back here if I can keep the upload system running while NoScript is running.

Thanks for the help.

Share was mostly developed on OS X - get your friend to try with Safari or, better yet, WebKit nightly.

Cheers,
Mike

I'm still going to get the information about the Mac user…. but I have a little bit of information about Linux/Firefox 3.0.5. It will work with NoScript enabled (and the share site in the white list). But only after the window has been resized. Odd I know, but might help in solving it.

Hi folks,
I just helped out a colleague here with the "FAILURE; Could not load html upload template" alert.
User is on WinXP, was running FF 3.0, and had Ad Blocker Plus Add-on installed and activated.

I asked her to disable ABP and, lo and behold, Upload screen showed up and functioned as it should.

Thanks.

I don't want you to think I've dropped this - I just don't have windows7 boxes to do testing with. But please report anything you can to this thread - one day I'll catch up with you.

I'm using Labs 3C stable too.
I had the problem with Internet Explorer and Firefox as well.

I solved both cases upgrading yui uploader component.

wget http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/download/
unzip yui_2.7.0b.zip
cp -R yui/build/uploader/* /opt/alf3/tomcat/webapps/share/yui/uploader/

I hope it will serve you,

Regards.

I solved both cases upgrading yui uploader component.

Thanks for the pointers, I've copied the files, and created this link: ln -s uploader.js uploader-experimental.js backing up the original of course. And It still acts the same, button does not appear until changing size of browser window - but otherwise everything is good. Will test on more computers.

Thanks

I made the change indicated above with the new YUI uploader component

With FF 3.0 there is no change, the upload fails at the end of the progress bar

It's still working with Chrome

With IE 6.0, even if the upload button appear after a resize, I get the "Could not load html upload template" message

Any ideas ?

Thanks

I also replaced the YUI uploader component described as above - renaming files as appropriate to experimental - on our Alfresco Lab 3 Stable platform. It resulted in the alfresco share Site > Document Library Upload and New Folder buttons greying out for all client platforms including those that previously worked. I backed this out.

So, still looking for a solution to uploading on our linux firefox workstation. Mac works fine.

Waiting for a solution I'm using the html upload.

I post a hint for that : http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=15501#p57350

Less attractive than flash upload but it work everywhere

Has anyone found a universal permanent fix for that? The YUI fix doesn't work on Mac FF3 nor Safari 4b.
