Hi Thomas
Thx. Just figured out that the files are uploading, did a server search and found that they are all uploading to one directory – not the open one (displayed). Just need to figure out the syntax for loading to the currently open directory.
Apologies again.
[fileaway directories=”true” drawerid=”1″][fileup matchdrawer=”1″]
Hi Thomas, still having problems. All files are loading to drawer 1. I went back and reset options and updated landing pages but still having problems:
File Away Configuration set three server folders with names 1=Management, 2=HR, 3=Projects
3 landing pages for each Directory to allow uploads each with FileAway & Fileup parameters:
MANAGEMENT (http://www.insight-setup1.co.uk/document-manager-1/):
[fileaway type=”table” searchlabel=”search in directory” sortfirst=”mod” fadein=”opacity” fadetime=”1500″ paginate=”true” bulkdownload=”off” manager=”true” base=”1″]
[fileup fadein=”opacity” fadetime=”1500″ uploader=”name” matchdrawer=”1″]
HR (http://www.insight-setup1.co.uk/document-manager-2/):
[fileaway type=”table” searchlabel=”search in directory” sortfirst=”mod” fadein=”opacity” fadetime=”1500″ paginate=”true” bulkdownload=”off” manager=”true” base=”2″]
[fileup fadein=”opacity” fadetime=”1500″ uploader=”name” matchdrawer=”2″]
Projects (http://www.insight-setup1.co.uk/document-manager-3/):
[fileaway type=”table” searchlabel=”search in directory” sortfirst=”mod” fadein=”opacity” fadetime=”1500″ paginate=”true” bulkdownload=”off” manager=”true” base=”3″]
[fileup fadein=”opacity” fadetime=”1500″ uploader=”name” matchdrawer=”3″]
PROBLEM: Using FileUp to upload from any of the 3 landing pages results in files being loaded to Base Directory 1. What am I doing wrong?
I tried deactivating all other plugins – just in case – but same result.
For one, you’re not setting the base directory in the [fileup] shortcode.
Secondly, if you’re using matchdrawer=1|2|3 in your fileup shortcode, you need to have a corresponding drawerid=1|2|3 in your [fileaway] shortcode. This is what you need:
[fileaway type="table" searchlabel="search in directory" sortfirst="mod" fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" paginate="true" bulkdownload="off" manager="true" base="1" drawerid="1"]
[fileup fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" uploader="name" base="1" matchdrawer="1"]
[fileaway type="table" searchlabel="search in directory" sortfirst="mod" fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" paginate="true" bulkdownload="off" manager="true" base="2" drawerid="2"]
[fileup fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" uploader="name" base="2" matchdrawer="2"]
[fileaway type="table" searchlabel="search in directory" sortfirst="mod" fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" paginate="true" bulkdownload="off" manager="true" base="3" drawerid="3"]
[fileup fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" uploader="name" base="3" matchdrawer="3"]
Also, bulkdownload=”off” actually resolves to bulkdownload=”on”. If you don’t want bulk downloads, remove the bulkdownload attribute from the shortcode. But in manager mode it is always going to be enabled.
I would also be sure to add directories=”true” to each [fileaway] shortcode, for those who don’t have access to manager mode.
So with my revised counsel, this is what you want:
[fileaway type="table" searchlabel="search in directory" sortfirst="mod" fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" paginate="true" directories="true" manager="true" base="1" drawerid="1"]
[fileup fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" uploader="name" base="1" matchdrawer="1"]
[fileaway type="table" searchlabel="search in directory" sortfirst="mod" fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" paginate="true" directories="true" manager="true" base="2" drawerid="2"]
[fileup fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" uploader="name" base="2" matchdrawer="2"]
[fileaway type="table" searchlabel="search in directory" sortfirst="mod" fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" paginate="true" directories="true" manager="true" base="3" drawerid="3"]
[fileup fadein="opacity" fadetime="1500" uploader="name" base="3" matchdrawer="3"]
Right – got this completely wrong. Let me take this away and read that article and fix it. Thx for such a swift response.
The article I linked to in the third comment here is only relevant if you’re on a Windows server, which it doesn’t seem you are.
Hi Thomas – perfect. Just been through each parameter you listed to try and understand better what this is doing and where I was wrong. Thanks for your help.
Two other questions on the FileUp:
1) after a file is uploaded the file name is removed from the upload list, but the file listing doesn’t refresh – is there a way to force this automatically (other than refreshing the browser page)
2) is it possible to rename the text on the File Up button? Do I need to delve into the code to change it?
Thanks again.
1. No, that’s not a feature.
2. uploadlabel=”whatever”
