Bug with Media Manager Joomla! 3.3.0

[ewill4grafx]

I found a bug with the Media Manager. Can't upload into specific folder.

instead of:
/images/document/download.png
/images/banners/120x300.png

it uploads:
/images/download.png
/images/120x300.png

Can't upload into the document/banner folder. How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Anybody?
I'm facing the same problem.
How can I fix it without a new complete update?

[ran_soft]

Same here....

it also happens when you try to create a new folder.

[sovainfo]

Not sure whether it causes other problems but functionality is restored by using media/media/js/mediamanager.js from j323.
Looks like removing mootools wasn't tested properly. The path is lost!

[jgress-]

did anyone add this to the bug tracker?

[bruno84]

I have changed the file media/media/js/mediamanager.js by that in Joomla 3.2.2 version.
That seems work fine, but, I don't know if that may bug other functionality.

[BizSmith]

Same issue here.
JCE File Manager plugin is a good temp workaround.

[JB2U]

If the issue is just about uploading an image (no resizing by a module) then you can just upload via FTP. If necessary you can create a folder, put images in that and upload the whole folder to the right directory in your Joomla site. That's a workaround I guess.

did anyone add this to the bug tracker?

yes: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... start=8775

but now you can't open the tracker

[sovainfo]

It is #32032 in the Feature tracker that caused it. It is about replacing mootools with JQuery. Think it is merged by mistake, the error was reported.

[Nasho23]

Has Joomla recognised this as a Problem that requires a correction and is it their intention to provide an official fix.
At the moment we seem to have a lot of guesses but no positive fix.

[sovainfo]

Yes, as reported in earlier posts in this thread, it is recognized as a problem. Even a fix was proposed. Just confirmed that solution.

See https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/3551

I have the same problem. When I try to upload a file into a folder in my media manager, it doesn't go into the folder. I'm also having a whole lot of other problems wish I never updated now

[sovainfo]

did you try the fix?

[Nasho23]

No, I have not applied a Fix, because I cannot find one in English. I have tried to intepret German but no luck. Users like me need something like a Patch that can just be Installed through Backend. I am not familiar with PHP Programming, which seems to be the German fix.

[Nasho23]

I ended up using Google Translation to view German Post and although not familiar with PHP, I was able to navigate to Line 47 and change the Code, with success.
I still believe that Joomla People should be able to provide an Install Patch when these types of problems are identified, so that Novices like myself cannot break their systems.
And, the other thing that is not clear to me, is; What caused this problem in a Stable System, in the first place. Was it the v3.3 Update or What.
I always seek an answer to these niggly things. I like to be on Guard.

[sovainfo]

Why do you think I provided a link to the PR?

Clicking it brings you to the PR that contains the code change. Clicking on cfafe87 shows you the changed line. See the red cross in front of it, normally that is a green V saying all tests ran without error. Beeing red cross now has nothing to do with the change itself. Just click the cfafe87.

Perhaps if you included the "Quote" of my Reply, I may be able to follow what you mean in your reply to my earlier post. With so many posts and replies to the topic, it is hard to follow the story with no Quotes, as they are each like a separate little part of the story, which often do not provide the answer one may be seeking.
And the Tracker Links, well they are useless, they will not open, on my machine at least.
What the heck is "cfafe87", have not seen this anywhere.
Like I said before, when these problems happen as a result of an Authorised change to the software, such as a Version Update, it should be Joomla Development who provides a further Version Update to correct the created problem, that is reported. Instead, we seem to have to rely on people on the Forum, such as yourself, to develop the fix, that we novice users have to attempt to apply it to our systems, by changing Code we know nothing about, with the potential existing for a stuffed system.
And, I am still not clear as to What the Cause of the problem is.

[sovainfo]

Consider qouting like you do right pretty useless. Only use it when referring to small parts or not the last post.

It is obvious you are not familiar with github. Maybe this is better for you: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/3551.diff

Hi,

I have tried applying the suggested fix (replacing $this->folder = $this->input->get('folder', '', 'path'); with $this->folder = $this->input->get->get('folder', '', 'path'); in administrator/components/com_media/controllers/file.php) and it doesn't resolve the problem for me. When I try to create a new folder within a subfolder, the new folder is still created in the root directory of images/.
It's bizarre because i have a few installations of Joomla 3.3 and this is only an issue in one of them. Correction! I have just checked and found out the 'working' installations are Joomla 3.2.3 ...

Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can offer.

[Eyeseetv]

I've applied the "fix" (http://www.joomlaportal.de/joomla-3-x-i ... sed-2.html) and it's not working in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, or Camino.

JoomlaCode has it listed as fixed.
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... 13&start=0

Anyone have more info on this?

I found the solutions (I think). Take into account, that these fixes should be in 3.3.1 so if UR not comfortable editing the code, U can ftp until it's fixed. Remember that if you ftp, be sure to upload a blank index.html into every folder you create. As always, back up Ur stuff before U edit it.

FOR MEDIA FILES:
http://www.joomlaportal.de/joomla-3-x-i ... sed-2.html (comment #19)

Here's the file U need to edit:
/administrator/components/com_media/controllers/file.php

Under "public function upload()" look for the code on line #47:

$this->folder = $this->input->get('folder', '', 'path');
and change it to
$this->folder = $this->input->get->get('folder', '', 'path');

Your adding a second "->get" (w/o the quotes)

~

FOR NESTING FOLDERS:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/co ... faaac55762

You are changing (2) files for this.

FILE #1 - administrator/components/com_media/views/media/tmpl/default.php

Line #72 changes from

<input type="text" id="folderpath" readonly="readonly" />
to
<input type="text" id="folderpath" readonly="readonly" class="update-folder" />

Line #73 changes from **ESTV EDIT - I typed Line #74 initially, Sry. **

<input type="text" id="foldername" name="foldername" />
to
<input type="text" id="foldername" name="foldername" />



FILE #2 - media/media/js/mediamanager.js

Line #45 changes from

this.updatepaths.each(function(path){ path.value =folder; });
to
this.updatepaths.each(function(path, el){ el.value =folder; });

Line #48 changes from

this.updatepaths.each(function(path){ path.value = ''; });
to
this.updatepaths.each(function(path, el){ el.value = ''; });

These should fix the issue with nesting folders and media appearing in the incorrect/requested directories.

Hope this helps!

Patch can be found here

[adam_nz]

Applied the patch - still doesn't work :-(

[webm3442]

Then you must be doing something wrong. Here
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... 13&start=0
are confirmations of succesfull tests and I have two more confirmations.

[adam_nz]

If you read that very same post, you'll see it's NOT fixed!

"Submitted By: Stefania Gaianigo

the patch solves the issue of image uploading but still remain the issue of the folder creation, if you try to create a folder within a folder, it is created in the root image folder"

I just totally closed/opened the browser, refreshed the page and got the same problem again. I triple checked the code - re-pasted from the GitHub code, re-uploaded and still the same.

Looking at the source code of the page:
<input id="folderbase" class="update-folder" type="hidden" value="" name="folderbase">

... there's no value being passed.

EDIT: Hmmmm ... I can't have cleared the cache properly. I rebooted the whole PC and now it's working! :-)

The weird thing is that I did all the usual things: CTRL-reload, logged out, logged in etc.

[Nasho23]

I will try to make my point again.
Because this problem seems to have originated from a Joomla Update, why doesn't Joomla release another Update, that will fix the problem for everyone.
I would see this as a much simpler solution for everyone concerned.
Not everyone understands Coding of PHP and many could end up doing more harm to their Site.
Why is my idea too difficult.

[sovainfo]

You either apply the patch or wait for 3.3.1.

In addition to all the reports on media manager in v3.3 update. I discovered I can not place any photo in any module properly, when I resize it and save, it always resorts to the full size image. Thanks guys! Doug

[sovainfo]

Let me guess, using IE as browser?
