I've tried everything I can think of with folder permissions, including setting 777 to everything. It doesn't seem to be throwing an error either.

To trigger the bug:

In admin:

1. Select an image version for a FileBrowseField
2. Save changes
3. Delete the version (either manually or by applying some action to the original image, e.g., flip vertical)
4. View the admin page of you object again

Result: File not found message appears

I am using django-filebrowser 3.4.1 with django 1.3.1 and grappelli 2.3.6 that is using tinymce 3.4.2

Everytime I try to upload a file using filebrowser on Internet Explorer 9, 8, or 7 I get a message of "Failed" but the upload works fine (with the same file) on FireFox 8.0

FireFox call:
"POST /admin/filebrowser/upload_file/?csrf_token=e8d0b5d2e918188b66cfcfb0cebd9e79&csrf_name=csrfmiddlewaretoken&csrf_xname=X-CSRFToken&folder=&qqfile=001_05.png HTTP/1.1" 200 43

Internet Explorer call:
"POST /admin/filebrowser/upload_file/?csrf_token=682d458c6130355f60d38ff9382c03e9&csrf_name=csrfmiddlewaretoken&csrf_xname=X-CSRFToken&folder= HTTP/1.1" 500 88339

The 500 error that I get is:
Exception Value: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'
..\ext\filebrowser\sites.py in _upload_file line 495

I did a 'print request.POST.get('file_name')' and got 'None' in the console when using IE

When I try to do a 'manage.py test filebrowser' I get this error:

FAIL: runTest (filebrowser.tests.sites.TestSite_filebrowser)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "..\ext\filebrowser\tests\sites.py", line 232, in runTest
test_detail(self)
File "..\ext\filebrowser\tests\sites.py", line 139, in test_detail
test.assertTrue(test.site.storage.exists(path))
AssertionError: False is not true

'print path' returns the correct path for three files:
tmp_test_0\testimage_large.jpg
tmp_test_0\testimage_admin_thumbnail.jpg
tmp_test_0\testimage_project_image.jpg

'print test.site.storage.exists(path)' returns:
True
True
False

I´m not sure we´ve decided for that decision, but it doesn´t seem to be possible anymore to generate a version based on image.path (you need to use image instead). which is also true for e.g. the fileinput-widget.

To invoke the bug:

1. Click the search icon of an FileBrowseFieldForm
2. Select an image
3. Click on the thumbnail of the image before you save the change

Result: In my case, I get a 404 error for a page: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/blog/article/3/uploads/Pics/title_photo.jpg. You can see that the relative URL "uploads/Pics/title_photo.jpg" of the file gets appended to the admin URL and not to MEDIA_URL.

The cause of this bug is the javascript function FileSubmit() in FB_FileBrowseField.js which sets the href attribute of a preview link to a relative url of the given file.

Despite the documentation at
http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-filebrowser/en/latest/settings.html#extensions-and-formats
saying

EXTENSIONS = getattr(settings, "FILEBROWSER_EXTENSIONS", {
    'Image': ['.jpg','.jpeg','.gif','.png','.tif','.tiff'],
    'Document': ['.pdf','.doc','.rtf','.txt','.xls','.csv'],
    'Video': ['.mov','.wmv','.mpeg','.mpg','.avi','.rm'],
    'Audio': ['.mp3','.mp4','.wav','.aiff','.midi','.m4p']
})

https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/settings.py
actually does

# Allowed Extensions for File Upload. Lower case is important.
EXTENSIONS = getattr(settings, "FILEBROWSER_EXTENSIONS", {
    'Folder': [''],
    'Image': ['.jpg','.jpeg','.gif','.png','.tif','.tiff'],
    'Document': ['.pdf','.doc','.rtf','.txt','.xls','.csv'],
    'Video': ['.mov','.wmv','.mpeg','.mpg','.avi','.rm'],
    'Audio': ['.mp3','.mp4','.wav','.aiff','.midi','.m4p']
})

FileObject.filetype
https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/base.py#L214
will return 'Folder' if it's a directory, but if not determine from this dictionary. (The description "Allowed Extensions for File Upload" for this settings gives no hint about this other use)

At the same time,
https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/templates/filebrowser/include/filelisting.html
checks fileobject.filetype to see if it's a folder and show a Browse link in that case.

This leads to files that have no extension being shown as Folders, and clicking on them gives "Folder does not exist".

filelisting.html needs to check filobject.is_folder instead, which let's the storage's isdir() decide.
I don't think the 'Folder' type for an empty extension should be in the default settings either.

Unescaped quote ( ' ) in i18n french cause syntax error in upload page, and french i18n unusable.

In the documentation here http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-filebrowser/en/latest/versions.html#versions-in-views

It says that in views you can generate/retrieve versions like so: obj.image.version(version_prefix) but it doesn't work. There is no method version(). There is versions() and version_name(). I can get the filename of the version via version_name(version_prefix) but its strictly the filename of that version. I need the full url.

This has been working in older versions of FB like this - obj.image.url_VERSION but this no longer works. After upgrading to 3.3 I began having this issue.

What is the proper way handle this?
Thanks man

this looks different if used with FileInput or ClearableFileInput. and there´s also differences between the form and inlineforms.

Media files are served up correctly both on the frontend and via filebrowser. When I try to upload a ~10MB file, it fails. However, small images are uploaded just fine. My upload limit is 100+ MB.

Using the latest stable (via PyPI)

I'm happy to provide you with debugging data --- I just don't know where to look.

Thanks

Hello,

The Uploadify method for uploading takes quite a number of steps to upload images. Have you reviewed any alternatives that may improve the user experience, specifically

http://www.plupload.com/index.php

Thank you,

Alex

Hello,

We're using the filebrowser widget in an admin inline such that:

class Image(models.Model):
# ...
article = models.Foreignkey(Article)
image = FileBrowseField(
"Image file",
blank=False,
directory="images/",
max_length=200,
null=True,
help_text="Click thumbnail to view ful size image.")
# ....

When adding an 'attached' Image model, the following occurs:

• adding an image is successful, i.e. click the filebrowser widget icon; insert an image; 'Save & continue editing'
• upon reload, the image input appear blank -- despite its value being set

• then, on resave again, a Validation error is raised:

reloading the article without save results in the same scenario as the first image.

In [1]: import filebrowser
In [2]: filebrowser.VERSION
Out[2]: '3.4.0'
In [4]: import grappelli
In [6]: grappelli.VERSION
Out[6]: '2.3.6'

filebrowser 3.4.0 (pip install latest)

if the Setting FILEBROWSER_VERSIONS_BASEDIR is not set no versions are generated.
default seems not working. set to something all is ok

I'm not sure when exaclty this happens, but I'm guessing during upload of non-ascii filename.

I am testing Filebrowser 3.4.1. Whatever I set to FILEBROWSER_MEDIA_ROOT, the shown path at the root position is settings.MEDIA_ROOT + FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY.

For example, with the following settings

FILEBROWSER_MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(MEDIA_ROOT, "uploads")
FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY = ""

I expect to browse the "uploads/" at the root position, but I get MEDIA_ROOT instead.

The following setup works

FILEBROWSER_MEDIA_ROOT = MEDIA_ROOT
FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY = "uploads/"

but then the "uploads/" part is saved in the database for FileBrowseFields.

https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/templatetags/fb_versions.py#L43
assumes that the context variable "site" (which is in my case the current django-site) is the filebroswer site.

would suggest to at least check which type the site variable is instead of blindly assuming its the filebrowser site.

there are still links to googlecode - need to be replace with github.

If read permissions are allowed outside uploads directory for the apache/server user, a user can dig files using relative links such as &dir=valid_directory/../../../../../

A patch might just add -- "if path.startswith('.') or '..' in path or ...", or convert the requested path to absolute and check against the absolute base directory. I don't know if it breaks any assumptions to lock a user to the UPLOADS though.

https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/functions.py

def get_path(path):
if path.startswith('.') or os.path.isabs(path) or not os.path.isdir(os.path.join(MEDIA_ROOT, DIRECTORY, path)):
return None
return path

Any thoughts on adding metadata fields to file details... Fields could be defined in settings... Title and Alternative Description would be particularly useful. Useful for accessibility, seo and various "slideshows" etc.

    <img src="{{ version_medium }}" title="{{ meta_title }}" alt="{{ meta_alt }}" />

the new uploader needs some love.

Hi,

I'm working on a django application to save files also in a git-annex repository to create distributed media repository. I'd like to integrate to django-filebrowser. Is there any idea to include some reference to the user in fileobject as a owner? I saw there was some people in the old issue tracking on google code that was looking for something similar.

Thanks,
Vince

Hello,

After installing django-filebrowser and running test I got 6 ERRORS because the directory "uploads/" is hardcoded in the test. I created this path by myself and ran tests again. This time I got 6 FAILURES because I have setted MEDIA_URL = "user-media/" instead "media/", and this URL is hardcoded in tests.

For example: filebrowser/tests/base.py LINE 36

https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-filebrowser/blob/master/filebrowser/tests/base.py#L36

Thanks,

if media_url looks like https://host/path then after url_join function link became something like '/https:/host/path'.

I guess you shoud add this code or something similar to url_join function:
elif args[0].startswith("https://"):
url = "https://"

I'm trying to use easy-thumbnails with django-filebrowser. In my model I have a FileBrowseField. Then in my template I'm loading the thumbnail template tag and passing the file tot it. Trouble is, FileBrowseField returns a FileObject, whereas thumbnail expects a FieldFile. (Or something like that - I'm a bit new to all this).

Is there a simple way to do this - allow an image to be added via a FileBrowseField in admin but return a conventional File object (not a FileObject!) in the template?

In settings.py
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'pl'
USE_L10N = True
USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR = True

Error in javascript (upload.html):
sizeLimit: 10 485 760,
(spaces in number)

I think:

settings.py line 107

Default Upload and Version Permissions

FB_DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS = getattr(settings, "FILEBROWSER_SEARCH_TRAVERSE", 0664)

Should be:

FB_DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS = getattr(settings, "FILEBROWSER_FB_DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS", 0664)

Thanks.

The versions feature is very useful, but some sites (specially high-traffic) will adopt other strategies for generating thumbnails, rendering filebrowser less useful than it could be. Some sites also have to deal with legacy media, and that doesn't play well with filebrowser's notion of "versions".

It would be interesting to decouple the versions functionality from the core to allow it's usage for managing files only. This could be easily accomplished by providing simpler FileObject and FileBrowserSite classes that are unaware of versions, and then providing a filebrowser.versions app that augments on that and provides the versioning methods, management commands and additional templates.

I made a fork without the versions features (since I didn't needed), and removing the unwanted code was very simple (the code is well decoupled already). If there's interest it can be used as a base for refactoring:

https://github.com/hcarvalhoalves/django-filebrowser

Sorry for opening a ticket without a patch, this is more of a suggestion. Since I won't use the versions functionality I don't have the time right now to make up a patch, but I wanted to move the idea forward.

According to docs, "version" should be available on FileObjects:

http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-filebrowser/en/latest/versions.html#versions-in-views

Here's what I get when trying:

Photo.objects.all()[0].image
FileObject: Fuurin (Glass Wind Chime).gif
Photo.objects.all()[0].image.version
AttributeError: FileObject instance has no attribute 'version'

with thousands of items, the changelist is somehow slow.

I want to suggest the option of validating the image to be sent from the size specified in the validation.

Browsing for an image in TinyMCE image plugin, django-filebrowser will not popup. Tested with 3.3.0 also, where it works as expected.

If a user uploads a file ending in "_big.jpg" it will be treated as the big version of "house.jpg" which doesn't exist. I would recommend automatically adding a timestamp to the end of the filename if it matches one of the naming conventions you are using for the different versions.

I'm running into an issue today getting Filebrowser running in my project.
I've got it configures in all locations according to the docs for settings and urls. The only thing different about my setup is that I'm using django-storages with s3boto for our media. I have sites.storage set accordingly.

This is the traceback I'm getting when trying to run the filebrowser tests:

When I try to serialize objects containing a FileBrowseField the resulting fixture does not include the directory path, only the filename. Here's an example:

[
{
"pk": 1,
"model": "calendar.image",
"fields": {
"title": "Test Image",
"image": "320x400_yellow.gif",
"created": "2011-09-22 14:27:33",
"modified": "2011-09-22 14:27:33",
"event": 1,
"alt": "Test Image",
"main": true,
"order": 0
}
}
]

Please note the original value for image is something like '/media/uploads/320x400_yellow.gif'.

The result is that any objects using FileBrowseField are not portable between servers using fixtures.

probably the most important case is converting a .png original image to a .jpg version. .png thumbnails don't render as well at low resolution as .jpgs when dealing with things like line-art.

when on a local machine or on a development-server, you might not have all the images available that are on your production instance (downloading these files on a regular basis is not an option).
therefore, it would be cool to have an additional option for every version ... something like "development" (think about the term) in order to show another image if the filebrowser-setting for this option as true.

The french translation makes upload window crash. Deleting the filebrowser/locale/fr/ directory "solve" the problem.

Any thoughts on adding an option to disable the removal of completed uploads in queue for Ajax Upload. The uploadify equivalent would be 'removeCompleted' : false.

• This would allows a user to keep track of recently uploaded files visually - eg. A user has 15 files located in different directories to upload and each will be uploaded to the same Filebrowser directory in one session.
• Provides a better visual indication for upload completion of small files.

I saw that this was apparently fixed in r683... but using:

FILEBROWSER_VERSIONS_BASEDIR = "versions/"
and or
FILEBROWSER_VERSIONS_BASEDIR = "versions"

has no effect... image versions are still just generated in FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY

with 3.3.x, we have some actions (e.g. rotate) on the detail-page: one should be able to write custom actions and easily implement these actions on the detail page.

With the default (undocumented?)

FOLDER_REGEX = getattr(settings, "FILEBROWSER_FOLDER_REGEX", r'^[\w._/-]+$')

I get a validation error when using a space character:
"Only letters, numbers, underscores, spaces and hyphens are allowed."

With

FILEBROWSER_FOLDER_REGEX = r'^[\w._\ /-]+$'

it works as expected.

since grappelli is a requirement anyway, remove this file - tinymce_setup.js which comes with grappelli is a better example on how to configure tinymce.

Could you please make the grappelli integration optional?

Hey there, I hate logging this as an issue as it may in fact be me, but having worked on this for a week now, installing/uninstalling everything to no avail ... Any help would be amazing. I'm receiving the below 6 FAILS using:

Django 1.3.1
Grappelli 2.3.5

STATIC_ROOT = "/srv/django/static/"

Thanks again,
Hope all is well ...

See also this stack overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6780404/django-filebrowser-getting-an-attributeerror-nonetype-object-has-no-attribute

The fix is to prepend a \ before filebrowser\ in line 28 and line 29 in the django_filebrowser-3.n-pyN.egg/filebrowser/settings.py file.

Please include this (or another) fix for this problem in your main branch.

currently, the filebrowsefield only allows for selecting files. direct upload would be a nice feature.

issues:

1. djangos upload_to is very limited.
2. once a file is selected (e.g. with djangos filefield) and there´s an error somewhere within the form, the file is lost. possible workaround: upload on select via ajax to a temp-directory. when the form is saved, move the file from the temp-directory to the upload-to-dir. of course, one should cleanup the temp-dir on a regular basis.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Install filebrowser following v3.3 quick start guide, tests run ok.
2. Upload some images
3. Inspect results: no thumbnails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

• Expect to see thumnails, see placeholder instead

What revision of the FileBrowser are you using?

• Using filebrowser 3.3

What version/revision of Django are you using?

• Using django 1.3
