Hello,
with Elgg 2.2.3 when using sidebar's group files link it reloads groups main page, no files are shown
Ie SITE/file/group/567867/all
Plugin disabled all files are there.
Cheers

The description field is missing on the upload page - to add a description you have to back and edit the file.

Additionally, I assume the major use case for zip uploads is related files - these would benefit from sharing tags. Could it be possible to add tags to zip uploads that get applied to all of the created files?

Is this version compatible with Elgg 1.8.18?. I've installed this plugin in a fresh 1.8.18 elgg installation and I can't see the plugin anywhere.

Is this the best place to do this kind of questions?

In the files widget a "show only featured files" option appears, yet featuring files is not an option in this plugin nor in the core files one.

Would be actually a nice feature to have though.

I know this isn't necessarily a concern for you, and I'm not sure exactly where the issue lies at the moment, but both plugins use the flash uploader, so whichever the plugin is below the other in the plugin list will work, the other one won't. Tidypics still has a basic uploader so I'm still able to use both, but it really messes up the UI. If the flash uploader gains in popularity and is used in other plugins is this going to be a 'there can only be one' scenario?

[edit] I'm posting this over on tidypics too, as I said, I'm not sure where the issue is at the moment.

seems easy to add. Maybe as a entity menu item?

When you have more than 10 subfolders the order on the page does not match that of the tree.

The issue is with file_tools_get_subfolders: https://github.com/ColdTrick/file_tools/blob/master/lib/functions.php#L224

the order_by_metadata needs: 'as' => 'integer'

Sorry I didn't have time to fashion a PR, but at least I got you the fix :)

reported on the community by Komgrit G. Niyomrath:

I have 3,000+ files in a group. When I use this plugin to browse all files, it shows a blank page. I think It is because your plugin load all files in one page. Can you tell me how to turn on the pagination?

Hi I am using the lastest release of your plugin (3.0). In setting page I allowed Use folder structure.
But my users are not able to create "file folder".
When they click on "file folder" button nothing is done.
I when I check my apache log. nothing is mentioned in my log.
I dont know what i did wrong.

Best regard.

Some warning in server log in dev elgg site with Elgg 2.3.4 and file tools 3.0.0-rc.3, no more warnings.

Make labels such as Public, Private appear in the same row - that is, ??truncate long file names or any other solution. Please see picture

Extensions removed by admin from admin settings : Allowed extensions are still possible to upload by users.

How to move files between folders

also show time last updated in object views

In actions (at least folder/edit), the default value for access_id is ACCESS_DEFAULT. There is no processing to reassign the real default access value for the user / site. If ACCESS_DEFAULT is used to save an entity, it causes ElggEntity->save() to throw an error.

Folders can´t be deleted.
ver. 3.0.0-rc.3
Elgg ver. 2.2

"All" tab shows thumbnail view of files even if all files are inside various user folders. It will be not-boring and useful-to-other users who see my tab to see thumbnail view of files - thus they can know whether the files are pdf or doc or image etc - folder view by default gives no such information
Please see picture

True for all image formats

I am not able to upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9 only because file_tools does not have any 1.9 supported version. This is the only plugin missing from my current set of plugin for 1.9.

file/all?list_type=gallery gives a gallery view of the thumbnails of images uploaded but the look gets disproportionate and not very good looking when various thumbnails are of various sizes. This happens when one image is portrait type orientation, another landscape and yet another full square. The Photo plugins crops all thumbnails to nice square keeping the proportion but core Files or File tools do no do this.

In file tools, css changes can be made to look all image thumbnails same and square but the problem is that some images get stretched disproportionally, suppose if they are of portrait type

There is imgLiquid.js https://github.com/karacas/imgLiquid which can give a proportionate square look to all these thumbnails in the file tool gallery view but even after trying for a few days I am unable to incorporate it. I do get the squares but blank squares and no images - when I do Inspect Element from FF I do see the images but there is visibility:hidden added from somewhere. If you have free time please give a look to https://github.com/karacas/imgLiquid and whether this can be successfully added to file tools. It will be very UI friendly and will give a nice, uniform look.

Specifically on the owner filter of files the upload link is malformed

Site url is: http://localhost/landing/

Should be: http://localhost/landing/file/add/35?folder_guid=0 (and is correct on other filters)
Actually is: http://localhost/landing/landing/landing/file/add/35?folder_guid=0

(note the repetition of 'landing')

I think it has something to do with the ajax loading of the owner file list, as the link seems to render correctly immediately on the page load, then adds the additional directory when the loader view is rendered, and then the second additional directory when the file list is rendered.

Hello,

I experienced a bug. With this plugin actived, I cannot see the list of files...

I have only the loader which turns, turns....and turn again... and nothing appears...

I am using elgg 2.1 and just change the release in the manifest file...

thanks

see: ColdTrick/widget_manager#37

It doesn't seem to serve a purpose on the dashboard anyways.

currently tab to get to the page has been disabled

folder structure is not created correctly when extracting a zip... also files do not look good (is there actually a file? or something wrong with simple/mime type)

It shows public as the user entity is public, but can be misconstrued to mean that the profile is all public

http://community.elgg.org/pg/forum/topic/880399/the-access-level-shown-on-members-page/

uploadable when creating / editing the folder

This is a very useful plugin in all aspects. An Elgg 1.9.6 alpha or beta release will help much.

How many files to show in the listing - this setting changes the number of files in the individual tab but not on the "All tab"

Provide an additional setting to the site super admin to have list view or thumbnail view - any one as default across all tabs

Pre upload, but after adding a file to the multiupload form, the user should be able to change title and description per file.

For some reason file_tools seems to change how elgg 1.8.8 interprets uploaded images (tested with jpg and png). With file_tools enabled, when I upload such an image and then view it, the image itself is not shown, only an application icon and the file name are shown, as if it was a PDF file or something. Of course I can still download the image using the download link, but I'd rather view the image directly, also for embedding within the tinymce text editor. If I subsequently disable file_tools and then try to view the image again, there is no change. So apparently there is something different with the file object when it has been added with file_tools enabled? When uploading an image with file_tools disabled, this doesn't occur, so I'm pretty sure file_tools is the culprit.

I'm using file_tools from right here, downloaded last week, on elgg 1.8.8 on a WAMP config.

Uploading a file (for example, a jpeg) to the default folder/main folder returns a listing of thumbnails with the thumbnail of the just uploaded file at the top of the list - thus I am visually confirmed that correct image has been uploaded and the upload process has worked correctly. However, when I upload to a folder ( other than the main folder) the page returned does not show that folder's listing which would have been appropriate to visually confirm me. The difference in what is returned just after upload in is not user friendly and should be uniform, I think

Somehow I remember this was possible in the past (or maybe with the bookmarks plugin that is based on this one?). Anyways, would be nice if there was an admin setting to disable it to reduce site clutter.
Thanks!

I have trouble organizing the javascript into a good structure. I think it might help to document all the stuff that javascript is doing.

These are happening immediately on page load:

• Fetches and lists content of the current folder
• Converts the elgg-menu in the sidebar into a jsTree
• Enables draggable support for the files in the list main content area
• Enables droppable support for the tree in the sidebar

On user action:

• Moves a file when dragged into a droppable

Other:

• Provides support for uploading multiple files (note: broken also on 1.8?)
• Loads a folder when the hash part of the URL is modified by ...who/what?

Did I miss anything?

undefined function because of Elgg/Elgg@424d69a

I need to have the line 414 on file file_tools/lib/hooks.php like this to upload the links:
$returnvalue = "file/group/" . $container->getGUID() . "/#" . $entity->getGUID();
The problem is that it does not work with either the sidebar and the breadcrumbs

can't upload with mutiple items

I am getting the above error when uploading a file on only a particular group yet the other groups it is uploading fine.
When I reload the page the file is uploaded but not on the folder I had selected.
Please assist.

This is a much requested plugin but can't use it because it provides a means for members other than the one who uploaded a file and the site admins to delete files. This seems contrary to all other Elgg permission logic I've seen. I suggest adding two toggles to the settings:

1. Enable/Disable site member file delete
2. Enable/Disable group member file delete

The first would allow site admins to control whether or not the delete option is available to anyone on the site (Enable is the current permission for this plugin). The second would allow group admins to allow members to delete files within their groups, and needs a second toggle in the Edit group settings. I recommend the default be set as Disable for all toggles so that it conforms to what seems to be standard Elgg permission logic.

https://github.com/ColdTrick/file_tools/blob/master/lib/events.php#L15

The event handler that fires when a file is updated assumes that a file can only be updated via the form. If no folder input is present it will remove all relationships and the file will end up back in the main folder.

eg.

// script having nothing to do with file_tools
$file = get_entity($file_guid);
$file->access_id = $new_access;
$file->save();

The file is no longer in any folders...
I suggest passing 0 as the main folder guid in the form, or the int of an existing folder, but using a default of bool false in the event. That way if it's bool false you can simply ignore the event, if it's an int you can then handle the relationships.

Note: this affects all versions of file_tools

In Elgg 1.9.6 I can get this installed and can get a list of files too. However when trying to create a new folder - nothing happens when the button for that is clicked. Is there any manual link, like an uri .../create-folder or something that can do the creation of a new folder?

THIS IS NOT A BUG

If add this code to start.php is possible search of folders in normal and advanced search plugins

// Register entity type for search
elgg_register_entity_type('object', 'folder');

@jdalsem @jeabakker

When using "select all" and "download selected" on folder after a while it just displays white page with this url :'www.mysite.com/file/bulk_download?folder_guids[]=12198&folder_guids[]=12199&folder_guids[]=12200&folder_guids[]=10419&folder_guids[]=12201&folder_guids[]=16244" or sometimes zip would be empty.

Looking in the elggdata/file_tools/zip_temp folder I see file/zip gets created but these large ones gets saved with weird extension ( like: download_gvv1LJ.rDtboB)

When selecting only files and not folders (when there are no subfolders) it works fine and gets saved without strange extension.

Hi guys, when i upload file and save the upload the description is in html code
(this problem is only with files) and when I edit the file and correct the text of the description in the server it show this error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function isValid() on null in /public_html/mod/file_tools/actions/file/upload.php on line 38, referer: http://my site/file/edit/5398
If I refresh the browser show in the site this error "form is missing __token or __ts fields"

All time work all perfect, but today is the error
Thanks for the work

Any plan to update the plugin for Elgg 3?

Filters or views available for the tab:All is not available for the tab:User (Mine or User XYZ)
These are available in core Files in side-bar for the tab:User :

• Gallery icon in side-bar for Gallery view
• Docs and Pictures filter in sidebar
  But activating File Tools seem to lead to disappearance of those.

Feature request
implement chunked uploads like in
https://github.com/ArviZ/BigUpload
to bypass php.ini .htaccess limits

I updated to this latest iteration and can't save new file extensions, the text input returns blank and no files can be uploaded at all (I know this isn't an official release, I've just been keeping current with it).
As a request - can you please a wildcard, or an option to allow all extensions?

It would be appreciated!

Thanks,

• Matt

Hi,
Group option to allow group members to edit group file folders is always visible, even if folders are disabled in plugin setting.
The only workaround i see would be checking plugin setting in plugin start.php so we can decide whether to display or not that option.
I can submit a PR for this if you agree with this patch.
