ADDT multiple image upload: "error 500"

Right now, I have managed to get the update record form wizard working, the right input ends up in the correct fields in the database.
So I'm left fighting with the "multiple image upload", which gives me an "error 500" message (error connecting to server)
The window does show me the correct files in the correct folder, but when I try and upload an image I always get the error 500 message.
I have read that the "multiple file upload" uses a temporary folder, and Im assuming that the "multiple image upload" does the same, and I suppose that I should CHMOD that folder to 777.
Do you know where I can find that folder?
Can anyone help me with that error?
Please?
Sorry about my name, I tried a lot of other names, and all were taken, but this random name went just fine

I thought it did - When I used the upload and save to database it saved the original images in a folder and created a sub folder called "thumbnails" and saved the thumbnails - origianl filesname just with width and height appended at the end.
I checked my server files and their definately created.
I browsed the java script and the help files which mentions it does this but I would like to be able to change the naming format of the thumbanils if possible

Custom Thumbnail Size(px) w/ADDT Multiple Image Uploader

The standard thumbnail size that the Multiple Image Uploader generates is 150px x 100px
I would like to know if there is any way to change that to 350 x 300?
I am refering to the thumbnail that is generated and put into the
thumbnails folder, not the thumbnail for the uploader itself :)
Thank You!

Hi Jason,
this particular thumbnail size appears to be defined in the file "includes/tng/triggers/tNG_MImageUpload.class.php" -- here´s a function named "tNG_MImageUpload" with the following line:
$this->showThumbnail(150,100,true);
Guess you´ll have to change the thumbnail width-X-height values in here.

Multiple Image Upload with save to database not working in IE anymore

Since updating IE to SP3 ADDT Multiple Image Upload with save to database does not work anymore in IE. It will show a regular file upload field, an does not allow selection of multiple files. It does work in Firefox, but not all my clients use firefox.
PSE Advice.

I would consider buying some pluggins from dmxzone.com. They
may cost a
bit upfront but in the long run, you've probably be saving a
lot of
headaches.

If time's an issue, with these plugins, you could probably
be up and
running in a half hour. George has some really nice pluggins
for
Dreamweaver and well worth the money.

Multiple Image Upload and watermarking

Hi,
I am using a gallery script which takes main images from a dynamic folder and creates thumbnails on the fly.
It gets the main images dynamically from
$config['fulls'] = $_GET['imgfolder_id'];
Then GD is applied to create thumbnails on the fly. There is no GD role for the main images. I use lightbox to show pop-up image. And the images are uploaded to a dynamic folder using ADDT multiple image upload server behavior.
My requirement: want to apply water mark on the large (pop-up) image. Not on the thumbnail.
Is it possible to have the water mark applied at the time of Multiple Image Upload?
Thanks for any help
Jay

Hi Jay,
if it were a single image upload, I would have suggested to apply a PHP watermark script to the uploaded image by embedding that code in a Custom Trigger, type AFTER -- but as the multiple upload gets proceeded by a flash file, I have no clue how to do that.

Multiple image upload CRASH!!! but works with simple image upload

I'm getting MAD.
I'm using php and GD
While the simple image and re size works like a charm, the multiple image upload or the multiple file upload have a strange behavior.
It opens the pop-up with flash, then eventually shows me files or thumbnails but when I try to up load I just wait and get the typical "system becoming unstable" flash error.
As I can see the directory is always generated (I've tried also to put a static directory) but after stargin the upload the flash uploader just crashes and no result.
Any help would be really appreciated

Hi Fonzie,
as the folder is getting created, the issue you´re having is not related to wrong folder permission - it´s something else...
As I wrote before, che common upload and resize function works perfectly
this one works perfectly, because it´s just one file to upload and to process, wheras doing that with multiple files might collide with some settings on your server
So for sure it's not a simple issue as the max filesize
Are you sure ? Did you check the current "max_upload_filesize" setting ? As long you don´t check it, you can´t know :-)
As a general rule of thumb, it´s important to be aware of the fact that uploading & resizing images on the server might collide with several PHP settings -- and the more images you upload and resize in one swoop, the closer you´re getting to these limits respectively might even be exceeding them. The following "directives" are those which have an effect on whether your image/file upload & processing will work or not:
- "max_upload_filesize" :: is sometimes set to just 8 MB on a shared hosting, sometimes 16 MB, sometimes more. This setting will affect the file upload procedure only
- "set_time_limit" (e.g. 30 seconds) :: if the execution time of a script exceeds this limit for whatever reason, the server simply shuts it down without letting you (respectively the flash uploader) know it´s been shut down. This *might* be the reason why ADDT´s flash uploader hangs respectively returns that error message after some time, because it´s waiting for some response from the server which never comes.
- "memory_limit" (e.g. 8 MB) :: this directive is a sort of "allocated server RAM" for your account, and it´s in particular the image resizing process which will grab more or less memory resources -- the higher the the resizing factor is, the more RAM is spent, and the more images are getting resized in one swoop, the worser it gets.
However, all these PHP directives can be changed, and your host might even be so courteous to increase the currently defined values of those abovementioned directives for you -- and that´s what I´m suggesting at this point.

Multiple image upload problem

When trying to use the Multiple Image Upload feature I get this error
A script in this movie is causing Flash Player 9 to run slowly, if it continues your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?
This message pops up after a single file is uploaded, the second bar labeled progress remains at 0%.
I have experimented with this all day with no luck, any help would be great...
Forgot to mention, PHP/MYSQL
Also happens if I try multiple file upload vs. image.
I can't tell if it's ADDT or Flash, hopefully since they are both adobe someone can figure it out.
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the reply, in this case it was a server setting that had to be modified. Mod_security would not allow folder creation by Apache. The single up loadd worked fine because it did not have to write a directory.
It did not show up in the server logs for some reason.
Hope this saves someone hours of trouble shooting.

Multiple Image Uploading Question

Please forgive my ignorance here but I saw the question on multiple image uploading and this is something i have been trying to do for a few days now without any success.
I am using CS3 with ADDT and PHP
I want to allow my users to be able to upload say 5 pictures at a time, each user has multiple photo albums the names of which are stored in mysql table, the image name is stored in a different table with a reference to the album id.
So, I assume that i put an insert record on the page, I followed the usual process used to have a single image upload and thought it would give me or add the extra file field options on the form when telling the multi upload to allow 5 images to be uploaded, not the case. Do i have to create a form on the page first with 5 file fields or am i just missing the plot here.
Sorry if this is just something that seems simple but i just don't seem to be able to get it to work at all. I have no working example to look over and have serach google to see if there are any tutorials for doing this but can't find any at all.
Thank you in advance of any help and guidance given
Regards
Ray

Hi Günter
Thank you for your reply and also for the great tutorial site you run which has helped me quite a lot with several things.
ok, so i am maybe a little confused here, so what is the multiple image uploader for if not for uploading multiple images, and how does it give you the option to select more than one file or is it that you can't use it when inserting the image file into a database?
Please forgive my ignornace again, i can see when i have tried using the multiple image upload thatit puts a text link called upload, what is that for because it doesn't seem to do anything on the page i have tried it on?
Kind Regards
Ray

Can you move a 'Multiple Image Upload' button into the 'Update Form'?

I am able to creat and an Update form and an image upload using the "Update Form Wizard" tool and the "Multiple Image Upload" tool succesfully.
 
 The problem comes when I try to move the "UPLOAD" button inside the Update form. Right now it looks like this:
 http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/now.JPG
 
 This is how I would like it to show:
 http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/tryingto.JPG
 
 I want to "Upload" button to go next to the "Update record" button. When I do this I get a javascript error and the "Update record" button is disabled.
 Here is the code of what I tried to do:
 
 
 
 
 
<table>
<tr class="KT_buttons">
<td>
<?php // Multiple Upload Helper echo $muploadHelper->Execute(); ?>
</td>
<td colspan="1">
<input type="submit" name="KT_Update1" id="KT_Update1" value="Update record" />
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
 
 Here is the Javascript error:
 http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/error.JPG
 
 thanks for your help.

A control can only appear once in the visual tree. So you have to remove it from the Grid before you can add it to the DockPanel.
This code will move the Border element from the Grid to the DockPanel when you click the button:
Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim border = CType(LayoutRoot.FindName("myborder"), Border)
LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(border)
contain.Children.Add(border)
End Sub
<StackPanel>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Border x:Name="myborder" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2">
<TextBlock>...</TextBlock>
</Border>
</Grid>
<DockPanel x:Name="contain" Background="Yellow">
<TextBlock>2</TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
<Button Click="Button_Click" Content="Move"/>
</StackPanel>
You can try it for yourself. But please post your code as formatted text and not as embedded images if you want anyone to be able to reproduce your issue and help you in the future.

How To - Validate Multiple Image Upload

Ok... I have a page where user can insert some informations in a database and also upload related images (without saving to the database).
This is a free site that I'm developing for humanitary proposes, and I do want him to be good. If people responsable for submiting information of an abandonned dog do not upload an associated image, the site will have no sucess. So, its mandatory to upload some images of the dog.
Question: How can we validate the multiple upload image SB to be "required" and IF no image is uploaded then, no Insert transaction will be made?
Thanks

Hi Marcio,
>>
Question: How can we validate the multiple upload image SB to be "required" and IF no image is uploaded then, no Insert transaction will be made?
>>
well, there´s a problem with using the Multiple Image Upload *without* saving image names etc to a table :: the Insert or Update transaction that´s required to use this "multi upload" flavor, will be executed *first* and
(just hope this isn´t plain wrong, but I don´t think so) has no clue of what´s exactly getting triggered afterwards
This is a sort of "master/slave" chain of actions where the "slave"
(the upload process) will just do his work after the "master"
(the Insert transaction) has successfully done something else before -- but not vice versa.
About the validation as such :: ADDT will always let you validate fields, as long they belong to a certain transaction -- but the "without save to database" image upload procedure is not part of the transaction, that´s why it´s not validatable.
I would suggest using the "with save to database" multi-upload flavor instead. This variant will be adding an Insert transaction, and the uploaded file names will be part of this transaction and hence are supposed to be validatable. I hope :-)
Now you might wonder why, because you assumingly don´t need all the file name info that has been stored. That´s right, but if you´d store that stuff in a "dummy" table which has no other purpose than to simply "be there", it might make some sense -- noone will ever force you to query that dummy table, so what ? :-)
That´s actually all just some "food for thought" for you, as I never tried that myself -- but from knowing ADDT´s "logic", I´m somewhat certain it will work out after all.

Multiple Image Upload not working on macs

Hello everybody,
I have searched everywhere for an answer to this issue and I'm not sure if there is a solution yet.
I am hoping someone reads this and tells me if either I need to use another product or post a fix for this to work.
I am developing a website for a photographer who needs to upload the pictures he takes for his clients to review on his website.
So on the backend I have created an application where he logs in and creates a new client and then uploads multiple images to that client's folder.
I am of course developing the site in ADDT version 1.0.1. in Dreamweaver CS4.
Everything works as expected except for the image upload part, where he is unable to upload even a single image.
He is using Mac OS X and Safari 3 to access his site.
I use a PC and can upload images perfectly, but the whole purpose of the website is for him to be able to upload images without me.
I read somewhere that ADDT's Multiple Image upload did not work on Macs because of the way that the OS handles image uploads to the server via HTTP. I also know that Flash v.10 had an issue with this behaviour in the past, but that it's been fixed with ADDT's v. 1.0.1, which is true since as I said I am able to upload images from my PC using that Flash version.
There is a product called MultiPowUpload from Element-IT (http://www.element-it.com/MultiPowUpload.aspx) that seems to do the exact same thing as ADDT's Multiple Image Upload, and I have tested the Demo version both on Mac and PC and works perfectly well.
I really would like my ADDT behaviour to work, first because I already have the whole site developed in it, plus I am used to the software already, and also because Element-IT's product is a bit pricey for a multiple server license (which I would need for other sites I plan to develop for Mac users).
Any thoughts or pointers you might have will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Luis Herrero.

Thanks a lot for your replies and helpful ideas.
It turns out that for some strange reason the problem was with the hosting provider.
I have moved another site which was not working with Macs either to a new provider and everything works now as it should be, without changing any files at all.
I have in fact v.1.0.1 in both those sites (those were the first things I checked before posting here) and Flash Player v. 10 both on the Mac and PC, so it will remain a mystery as to why the server behavior did not work with that particular host on Macs.
Thanks again.
Best regards.

Multiple Image Uploader renaming thumbnails

I am having a blast with the ADDT! For a php noob such as myself this stuff is great, just what I have been looking for.
If only I knew how to stop ADDT's multiple image uploader FROM RENAMING THE UPLOADED THUMBNAILS.
Like this: myImage.jpg is renamed to myImage_135x150.jpg
I can deal with it stashing the thumbnail in a separate folder, but the name of the uploaded image and the thumbnail must remain the same!
I did manage to figure out where to change the thumbnails dimensions, but not the name itself...
Thanks for such a great tool,
Jason

Hi Jason,
ADDT´s default thumbnail renaming rule is defined in the file "includes/tng/triggers/tNG_DynamicThumbnail.class.php" -- at the end there´s a function named "Execute", and in here you´ll find the following:
a) $thumbnailName = path_info['filename'].'_'.$width.'x'.$height.'_w_'.$hash.(isset($path_info['extension'])? '.'.$path_info['extension']:'');
this needs to be changed to:
$thumbnailName = path_info['filename'].$hash.(isset($path_info['extension'])?'.'.$path_info['extension']:' ');
b) tNG_deleteThumbnails($thumbnailFolder, $path_info['filename'].'_'.$width.'x'.$height, $hash);
this need to be changed to:
tNG_deleteThumbnails($thumbnailFolder, $path_info['filename'], $hash);
As always, please backup the original file before making such changes ;-)

Please help!!!!
Thank you

I am not a php guy but just trying to help out..
1. check what u have configured in the control panel of ADDT for image resize.
2. i have heard something called GD is used. or image magick.
3. in asp i use image magic.
the image resize will use some temporary directory..
ur webserver will run as some account so ..
it should have write permission on this temporary directory.
and the library u specified it to use for resizing should also physically exist.
and ofcourse the anonymous webuser account should be able to create process to resize this image.

Multiple Image Upload Wizard Not Creating A Form

I'm working on a new site and I keep running the multiple image upload wizard.
It connects to the database fine, gets the primary key and all that. It sees the two columns that should be included in the form field in addition to the image_url field.
When I hit finish on the wizard all the proper code seems to be created except the form. The upload button is the only user interface element created.
Anybody got ideas on what is causing this? I've used this wizard on other projects sucessfuly, but I can't figure out what I'm doing differently here.
thanks,
- Tanner

I believe you have to create the form first with some File Upload fields then run the Wizard.

Multiple image upload with save to database problem

I am developing some backend work for a client, and we recently used the Multiple image upload with save to database wizard without a problem. A few days later, we noticed that we could only upload a single file at a time - it seems that the coding is no longer able to access the flash part of this and is using the javasript function instead. I know the web hosting company has made some changes on the server, and I did some reearch and it seems that there could be an issue with Flash 10, but has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jeremy

Thank you for the responses. I have already updated awhile ago, so I am wondering what happened. Not sure if during the server update, some files were replaced (unless I totally forgot to update to 1.0.1 on this site). So I reinstalled 1.0.1, deleted the includes folder from the server and uploaded my includes folder and it now works again.
Again, thanks for the help.
