Hello,

in order to use any file upload, you need to include the upload components of choice in your page template markup, as otherwise there will be no initialisation of any upload component that can be used at runtime. Take a look at the documentlibrary.ftl and documentlibrary.xml template files for how to include the components. You may have to provide a special dashboard template for this (or modify the default ones).

Hi Axel,

You were spot on, I had not included the components upload in the page template, I did this and this worked as I expected.

Thanks very much for your help.

Sam

Hi, can you give me example of how you load the upload components. I include important files like

dnd-upload.js‍

and

file-upload.js‍

but it still not working. And I get this javascript error

No instance of uploader type 'Alfresco.DNDUpload' exists.‍

THanks
