File Manager link not working

Permalink
Just downloaded and installed concrete5 - installation went fine - logged on and attempted to upload some images - clicked on file manager - file manager page appears and is quickly replaced by static page showing 4 preloaded images - however no links on page - basically can't get to upload page to upload any images.

Help...

Does your file manager page look like the attached pic? This is taken from a completely vanilla install of Concrete5.

Does your install have any of the forms/buttons?

The words "view files 1-4" and the 4 photos in your attachment appear at the top left corner vertically - but there are no upload boxes etc. on the page - no buttons - the rest of the install appears to work fine just the file manager isn't

Also just went to try the demo and found no file manager - is there just a problem with the file manager?

I also downloaded the 15 day demo -it does the same thing goes past the upload page straight to static page with 4 preloaded photo files and no links - it's called media browser instead of file manager

I get:

View Files
Viewing 1 to 4 (4 Total)

starfish.jpg

Although, I love everything else about this program - it simply doesn't do me any good if I can't upload images and files.
Anybody know what to do?

The fact that you're not seeing it there makes me think it must be something browser specific.

Can you tell me what operating system and browser you're using?

Does anyone else have this problem athttp://getconcrete5.com/demo
?

I'm using windows vista and internet explorer. (Ithink that's what you asked for - I'm relatively new to all this)

When I try to go to

http://www.shopsoflo.com/concrete5/index.php/dashboard/mediabrowser... - the link to file manager - it sends me to:

Thanks for any help

I setup a demo and tested it on IE 6 and 7 on XP SP3 and the file manager appears ok.

Graye63 - are you able to try it on another browser, like firefox? Just to see if the install is working as it should?

Truthfully I don't know which version of IE I'm using but I tried it in firefox and it works just fine - apparently it is a browser problem - can that be fixed or do I just use firefox? Thanks

Concrete5 does not support IE6, nor will it ever.

(i'm talking about the editing interface, not the site you build with it)

That browser is over 8 years old, join the rest of us in the new millennium.

I'm running IE 8.0.6001.18372 256 bit - just checked IE site and it is the most recent version of IE.

So... I get that you don't support IE6 - but IE8 is the current and newest interface

and I can't use Concrete5 file manager on it -

Did I miss something? IE7 is the current version. IE8 is still beta, isn't it?

Supporting beta software is tricky because things are still changing. Concrete5 will support IE8 for sure, if it's final..

We're certainly supporting relevant versions of IE.. can anyone else running v8 confirm that this isn't working for them?

Still trying to get IE8 rc1 to work - found that while in compatibility mode file manager works - if not it won't - from what I can see compatability mode just puts IE8 back to IE7 - works around IE8 problem for now but doesn't fix it.

I just read that IE8 will be available this evening!

We have to fix that problem quickly! I'll install it tomorrow and try to help you with that... I just want to wait for the final version.

I've tested r763 which works fine with ie8. There's just a javascript error when using the multi file uploader.

The upload works, but at the end I see this error.

Line: 140843397
Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object


Will test the stable version later..

I can confirm that the current stable version doesn't work!!

There are several javascript errors:

jquery.form.2.0.2.js

Line: 512
Error: Object required

var op = ops[i];
if (op.selected) {
  // extra pain for IE...
  var v = $.browser.msie && !(op.attributes['value'].specified) ? op.text : op.value;
  if (one) return v;
  a.push(v);
}


After that another one.. another one...
Line: 247
Error: Object expected


How long do you need until 5.3 is finished? I think it's not worth fixing 5.2.1 anymore, but 5.3 should be released soon...?

okay, there's a quick and dirty work around..

open this file: concrete/elements/header_required.php

Insert this line:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />



Result:
....
   <meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($akk)?>" />
<?php  } ?>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<?php  $u = new User(); ?>


What it basically does is: It activates the ie7 compatibility mode. There's a button that would let you do that manuelly (has already been mentioned above). But this meta tag makes sure that not all users have to push that button...

It's a bit ugly, but at least you're not forced to update to anything that hasn't been released yet!

I don't know when this is going to be released, though, since releases take a finite amount of time and we're really throwing all our energy toward working on the new stuff.

I will post in patches, though, definitely.

all right!

There's no need to hurry I think. I didn't realized that there's such an easy workaround first and was a bit scared because I've got a few concrete5 sites in the meanwhile... Not as many as you have though (:

thanks!

I think that sounds like a different problem than this thread which is about buttons missing in ie.

Have you looked into installation/server config issues? that's often the reason behind files not being savable from the web interface.
