New Bulk Image Uploader - Not in IE

Hello!

We've been trying out the new image uploader on our intranet, but can't get it to work in IE (tried 10, 8 and even 6)..

What operating system? Windows 7 & XP
What database platform? MSSQL
What version of mojoPortal? 2.4.0.0 MSSQL
What version of .NET? v4.0.30319 Running in Full Trust 
Steps to produce the problem, expected results, and actual results:

Image gallery module. Clicked Bulk Upload. In Chrome & Firefox can drag images into box, and select multiple files after pressing Select Files...

In IE, dragging images into the box just opens up the first image in the browser, and cannot select multiple files in the Select Files... prompt.

Can't find any errors in the logs, nor in the console in the F12 Developer Tools. Haven't got JavaScript disabled. 

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Graham

Re: New Bulk Image Uploader - Not in IE

drag and drop and multi file selection is only expected to work in modern html 5 web browsers like IE 10 or 11 should be ok, older browsers are going to have to select and upload 1 file at a time.

if you have trouble using a modern web browser then you need to use the web browser dev tools and look for any script errors in the console and also look for any script or css  files that fail to load in the network tab. Make sure for example that you have applied any needed skin changes if you upgraded from an older version. any kind of script error on the page even if unrelated to the file uploaded can prevent the uploader script from working.

Other than that, everything I know about troubleshooting file upload problems is in the article Supporting Large File Uploads.

You can also try our demo site and see if things are working differently there vs your site.

Re: New Bulk Image Uploader - Not in IE

Hi Joe,

Thank you, I tested out the demo site, it was the same. I then installed IE11 which works, so it's an old browser issue. (I actually had v9 before, not 10)

Problem is, we have many XP users, who are limited to version 8. Fortunately only a few of us need to use the Bulk Uploader so I will request that they have Chrome installed.

Maybe it would be worth noting it in the documentation that it's IE10 or newer..?

Thanks for the help,
Graham

Re: New Bulk Image Uploader - Not in IE

Hi Graham,

I've updated the troubleshooting section in the article Supporting Large File Uploads, to mention that drag and drop and multi file selection is only supported in modern web browsers.

Note also that if most of your users are stuck with legacy XP machines, it is possible to hide the dropzone to avoid confusion but that will mean the drag and drop won't work for anyone. But if you want to do that just add this to the theme.skin file of the skin:

<portal:jQueryFileUpload runat="server"
    UseDropZone="false"
/>

I definitely think using Chrome on those machines is a better option though.

Best,

Joe
