[Xerte-dev] Re: New 2.1, there are 2 problems in Firefox only

Hi John,

 

Your image shows media rather than a zip being upload. My problem is that I
can upload the zip file and Xerte can unzip it in the import directory,
however the file does not appear in the Workspace and there's nothing in the
USER_FILES directory and nothing in the template_details table, and no
success/failure message under normal settings.

 

I've turned on error reporting and get this:

 



 

The offending line reads

 

echo $zip $new_file_name ."<br />";

 

Kindest regards, Thomas

Hi Tom, Thomas,

 

I've now updated the server to the latest install and I'm still not seeing
the issue:

 



 

I've also tracked the upload.php url parameters and get the correct URL
(which is why the upload happens)

 

POST
/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php?path=USER-FILES/1-pat-Nottingham/media/&BRO
WSER=firefox&AUTH=xerte&PHPSESSID=**mysession** HTTP/1.1

 

SO I'm not sure why you are seeing &null instead of
BROWSER=firefox&AUTH=xerte&PHPSESSID=**mysession** HTTP/1.1

 

That is definitely the cause of the issue on your machine. The session
cannot be restarted in upload.php because it doesn't have the correct
information. I assume you have cleared the cache since upgrade although the
code to pass the correct info to upload.php hasn't changed for a while.

 

Thinking about it too, we I updated the wizard to use file_exists.php but
that message you got is perhaps as confusing. perhaps we should leave the
file_exists.php and create a new file which can give some better feedback on
whether it is a session issue, a permissions issue, etc etc.

Hi,

 

I've just checked, the files are there, in the import folder, all neatly
unzipped, so it's not a permissions problem with the file system.

 

I don't know enough about the way the code works the delve much deeper, but
my next thoughts are that if it's not the file system properties, it could
be something to do with the SQL, or the way it transfers the date to the
USER_FILES.

 

I've done a manual transfer to the USER_FILES (creating a stub in the
editor, then uploading the media and template.xwd into the directory
created, and copying the latter to 'data' after deleting the 'data' file
that was there) and that works just fine. I'm not sure if I need to
overwrite the 'data' file or not, but it seems to work.

 

Kindest Regards,
Thomas

Oh right ok, I'll give it a try - that server is relatively up to date (not
latest though) but I wasn't aware of any code changes to the upload path
(other than the moov stuff being removed).

 

Let me update and try again.

No I am not, and I am using the latest 2.1 



Smith, John schreef op 25-10-2013 15:16:

Hmm..

 

Tom, are you using windows 8.1?

 

I just tried in Windows 7 with Firefox 24 and it worked fine for me. Can
anyone else with Windows 8 or 8.1 confirm whether it works for them?

Hmmm, they look decidedly strange to me:

192.168.50.11 - - [25/Oct/2013:11:39:01 +0200] "POST
/~tom/xotdev/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php?path=USER-FILES/1-tom-Nottingha
m/media/&null HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Shockwave Flash"
192.168.50.11 - - [25/Oct/2013:11:39:05 +0200] "POST
/~tom/xotdev/modules/xerte/engine/file_exists.php HTTP/1.1" 200 39 "-"
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0"

i.e. I would have expected some indication of firefox on the first line as
well.

Hi Tom,

 

It is most likely the flash cookie bug. Can you see what the useragent
string presents as for the new Firefox? I've seen issues on the
mediaelements Github site that IE11 has a different useragent string or
something.

Issue 1:

The space needed by the buttons in the Dutch translation is too large:



This only happens in (some) installations of firefox, i.e. I have problems
on my PC, but Inge does not on hers (Both Win7Pro 64bit).
Does anyone mind if I set the margins of .file_mgt_area_middle to 10px
i.s.o. 15px?



Issue 2, upload of media, so far only encountered in firefox:

I can't upload media. Tested with video and images.



Tom
