Media Manager Issue

  • Media Manager Issue

    Posted 16 years 6 months ago
    • First off, I am on a MacBook and am working in Joomla 1.5 with the Replicant template.

      I went to upload some graphics via the Media Manager but when I tried to click on the "Browse Files" button nothing happened. The normal pop up window to go get a file from my computer did not appear. I tried doing this in Safari, Firefox, and Camino, all with no luck. I had someone else in my office try to do this on a PC with Explorer and everything worked like it should have. I also had another person I know log in on their Mac and try and it worked fine for them too.

      So I am guessing this isn't a Joomla or template issue but more of an issue with something on my machine, but I don't have a clue on how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas?

      Thanks

    • Does this occur in the administrator or at the frontend?

    • I am having the same problem. No browser on my MAC will work with the browse feature in the media manager, but am able to work it on my Windows side with Parallels. It is only happening in the back end for me (Although I have not tried in the front end) Any thoughts?

    • Not the answer your looking for but I usually use an FTP client instead of the Media Manager.

    • I have this problem on one of my laptops - can't find any reason for it. They all run Windows XP, and they all run the same version of Firefox. If anyone can find an answer, I'll put them in my will - it's so frustrating.

      It happens only on the one Joomla 1.5 site that I have. :(

    • Have you checked your browser's plugins and your internet security apps? It's possible that they are the bad guys :P

    • In your Global Configurations, try to disable the Flash Upload; this function allow you to upload several files at once.

      I'm not sure about this but seems the problem appears after the installation/upgrade to Flash 10.

    • Joomla just like many other sites including MSN and Yahoo are using fancyuploader. This is now down the drain because of Adobe's upgrade (justified) to Flash10. It has been communicated extensively on the Web and on the Joomla forum.

      This happens in Joomla Media manager as well as in JCE. Joomla 1.5.8 already has flash uploader switched off. You can read all and a temp. solution I posted here on the Joomla forum:
      forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1466599#p1466599

      Note a final solution will only be released in Joomla 1.6. Till than we need to use html-uploads (unless you use the workaround I described)

    • Thanks leolam for those explanations. If I understand correctly, there is nothing to do at the moment. Well, we can downgrade to Flash 9 or switch to html upload... right?
