Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

Is there a setting that will allow the shared file feature to allow multiple files to be uploaded at once or possibly a folder upload?

Also I would like to know if this capabiliy exists with the file manager?

Just can not seem to find documentation on this specific issue.

Thanks in advance

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

The Shared Files feature and the File Manager both support multiple file uploads when using Full Trust hosting. If you're using Medium Trust, you can't upload multiple files at once.

As far as a "folder upload," there's nothing in mojoPortal to do this other than creating the folder in shared files or the file manager and then selecting an entire folder of files to upload at once. Again, that would require Full Trust hosting.

HTH,

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

Note also that you can find out if you are hosted in full trust under Administration > System Information

If it says Full Trust there and not Partial Trust, then you can enable NeatUpload by renaming your Web.config to Web.mediumtrust.config and rename Web.fulltrust.config to Web.config and restore any customizations such as machine key.

That will enable NeatUpload and then you should be able to upload multiple files at once and it also supports a progress bar during uploads.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

Thank you for the quick reply.  If I am running in full trust do I need to change anything in the config to enable this multiple upload or should this be the default?  How can I verify that I am running full trust?

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

I verified that I am running full trust and I changed the web.config to the full trust version.  The shared files feature does work and allows multiple files to be selected and uploaded.

the file manager still does not allow multiple files to be selected and uploaded.  is there something else I may need to adjust?

Thanks

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

NeatUpload is only used in the older file manager under the Alternate File Manager link. So you'll have ot use that one for bulk uploading.

Hope that helps,

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

Looks like all is working correctly, but after testing in IE8 I noticed something strange.

when placing only the shared file feature on the page the feature would not extend full width but an HTML feature would extend full width.

I am currently using an un-altered version of artisteer31-bluenwhite and the switch from medium to full trust some how created this strange issue.  If I switch back to medium trust this will correct itself

Is there a specific style sheet for the shared file feature that I can work with?

Is there any reason the feature would use a different style sheet after going to full trust?

Thanks you

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

What version of mojoPortal are you running. I seem to remember an issue with the markup around NeatUpload in SharedFiles, but I think that was fixed. Can you provide a link to your site?

Thanks,
Joe D.

I have version 2.3.8.1 MSSQL.  The site is a fully protected intranet and I can give you access but not from the forum.  Let me know and I can e-mail you direct if necessary.

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

When will the next build be released so I can correct this issue I am having with the shared files feature css wrapper?

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

Hi,

I did some experimenting and was able to see the problem using IE8 mode in IE9.

Adding this to style-artisteer-overrides.css seems to solve it:

div.center-nomargins { width:100%; }

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

at first I thought it was fixed, but after doing what you mentioned I saw that it was not fully fixed.

I tested in IE8 on windows XP and it fails.  the interesting thing is if I am on IE8 and I click comparability mode it does show fixed and works correctly.

when I have right side content and center content in ie8 everything pushes left leaving a right side space of nothing.  I click compatibility mode in ie8 and the page works fine.

I really appreciate this help so far - any ideas?

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

I experimented quite a bit with this and it really is a weird problem. When viewing the source using IE 9 dev tools with ie8 browser mode it looks like the divRight has been moved into a span that is part of the NeatUpload progress bar. It also seems like an Artisteer thing they way they use display:table; and lots of table-layout:table-row and table-layout.tablecell seems to also be a factor. It works correctly in the jqueryui-1 skin in my testing.

And I'm able to solve it again somewhat by overriding some artisteer css for ie8 by adding this in style-artisteer-overrides.css:

.ie8 .art-content-layout
{
table-layout: inherit;
}

this is changing it from table-layout:table that artisteer is adding back to the default inherit.

this fixed the layout except for the layout column background colors still seem to be not distributed correctly (I'm testing with artisteer31-green not sure it it affects others).

I really don't know what else to try to solve it any better than this mainly because I don't really understand the cause of the problem,.

Best,

Joe

Re: Multiple Files uploader with shared files feature

thank you for your effort on this.  I agree this is a strange issue.  I placed the css code you provided and that worked great for what I need.  If you find a different approach/solution please let me know.

Thanks as always
