Select Files Upload Problem

Jacob Russell 28 Jul 2010 18:20 problem, complete

EE Version: 1.6.9
LV Version: 1.2.3

I'm trying to set up a Select Files field so that admin's can update an image on the site from the control panel. Nothing fancy, just a single select with the ability to upload new files. I have it pointing to an upload folder already being used by nGen File and Wygwam without trouble, so I know the upload folder is good, and I've verified permissions are 777.

Originally I was getting the "Upload folder not found" error message on file upload. At this point I verified that I had selected the correct location and that all upload settings were correct, which they are.

Then I tried the bug fix detailed here: http://getsatisfaction.com/low/topics... which removed the error message and allowed the upload to proceed correctly, with one very important exception: it's uploading the file to a different folder then I've told it to. This means that the file isn't then selected for that field and is unavailable in the dropdown. In this case I've selected an upload location at /assets/uploads/front-page/content/, and it is instead uploading to /assets/uploads/press-room/files/.

Any idea what might be causing this or how I can fix it?

    Hey Jacob,

    Can you try upgrading to the latest version (1.2.5)? There have been some issues in previous versions. When you're done upgrading, re-save the settings of your Upload Files vars and let me know if the problem persists.

    That fixed it, not sure how I ended up with an older version. Thanks!
