embed content - upload file option - strange behaviour after file uploaded
By Roger Leitch
In discussion (or other edit page), clicked embed content, then upload media.
Having browsed for a file, filled in name and description, I click upload.
There is no indication the file is uploading.
When the upload finishes, I get a prompt asking if I want to save or open the file.
I think at this point it should show the Files tab.
This was using IE 9.

You must log in to post replies.which plugin r u using to embed ?
Just the core 1.8 Embed plugin.
Have the same problem. After the embed, the screen gives no indication that the upload was complete, although it was. If I close the window and continue on, the embedded file is available for use. If I mistakeningly think the file was not complete and process the upload again, the file is uploaded twice.
OK Guys..
Help me out here and I could trouble-shoot !
When i embed an image, I get only :-
<img border="0" /> ;-(
So I cannot see past that to the stage you've both described re:
".. indication the file is uploading.."
and so me not see the "problem" ;)
therefore -- unable to "debug" ;-O
[ I have on the past posted only abt 3 questions and never got any answers ;-( .. ]
The saying is " Help me to help you...."
@Dhrup: The problem might be a bug in tinymce - at least <img border="0" /> rings some bells. And I think I had this problem on my site (more precisely a user told me about it). The version of the tinymce editor that comes with Elgg is not the latest anymore. You might want to give my Extended TinyMCE plugin a try - either the Elgg 1.7 or the Elgg 1.8 version. It includes the latest version of tinymce (3.4.4).
ThX: funny, I do usually use TinyMCE Ext ;) almost rarely used Elgg's Embed PlugIn by itself..(btw same problem exists when I try to load images here @Comm ;-O where I usually just goto edit the HTML and put in the src= code manually which works ;-o Maybe Roger or Ron wanna give their site URL so I can test the situation there...;-0
@Roger - Thanks for the bug report. Can you open a ticket at http://trac.elgg.org/ so we can fix this?
Ticket #3755 Submitted
I embed/upload re tinymce - that's where I see the problem.
This topic seems a bit old now but I am having the same problem in IE 7/8 - there is no confirmation that the File Upload has completed. Was there a resolution?
I noticed in trac the ticket #3755 mentions "was Fixed by content-type headers"? Can anyone shed more light?
