[Xerte-dev] Re: Browse Dialog Issue when Uploading Media

Fri May 10 12:01:42 BST 2013

There are differences in the wizard for how the two different templates preview. In function preview() there are quite a few nested if... else statements, but I can't see anything obvious. This code pre-dates some of the more recent modular changes, if someone more faciliar with those could check it over, that might through something up.

It must be something to do with the different preview windows for the different templates, everything else seems to be the same.

The answer is in there somewhere...

Just for the bootstrap template?

I've been able to reproduce it in my dev environment, But I also don't see any errors in console.

It's a FF issue only I think.

Sorry about to head off to catch a train and will be offline rest of the day so can't help much but I built a new xampp install yesterday from latest svn and just tried to replicate this but can't. Have only tested with IE but could browser be part of the equation?

Need to fix it because it was driving me crackers yesterday.

It is fixable, because I can replicate it in Xerte Toolkits pieces on a clean xampp install, but not a bootstrap (which works fine)

So there is something in the Xerte pieces that is breaking it, and it's not the files in modules/Xerte/engine because I have swapped them with ones from modules/site/engine.

Confusing issue, because yesterday it was the bootstrap one on our server that was giving me the grief.

Yes, I've seen it (some) installations.

It's VERY annoying.

Some user had this issue in XAMPP. Don't remember who though.

Further info (and going slightly nuts)

Clean XAMPP install from 2.0
Made Xerte toolkit. Can replicate the issue
Made a bootstrap - cannot replicate the issue

Brill!

Replace files in modules/Xerte/engine with files from modules site/engine

Delete cache, refresh in FF.

Whah! Still the same situation. Can replicate in the toolkit, but not in the bootstrap.

Can anyone else replicate it?

On our upgraded install this bug has reappeared. Every time, for me: upload media, preview, close preview, upload another file - no browse dialog.

On my xampp install I can't replicate it.

On our main install Fay can't replicate it.

All in FF 20.0.1

So WTF?

A long standing issue, but some progress: but I don't know why (this was Pat's code originally):

Problem: upload media, preview, upload another media aand the browse dialog doesn't show.

Solution: comment out the lines from function preview() that call the javascript function hideunload() which is this:

    function hideunload(){

        window.onbeforeunload = null;

    }

If you don't call that function, it works OK.

But it must be there for a reason: question is, what?
