The video seems nice, but it also seems to have an emphasis on “quick” as to me, it’s like runs like fast-forward. I cannot see anything apart from flashing pictures

Yes, you’re right on the “quick” part. Did you have “HD” on? That might help.

Turning HD off solves the problem. Thanks!

Another way to get around it is to (once the video starts streaming) hold back the playback head for a second or so and pull it back to the beginning of the video. This should then get it to play at the correct speed regardless of HD or not

Just thought it might help a bit.

I usually called that “time for a cuppa”

After installing the extensions, I’m getting the following error when trying to save a new post:

MySQL ERROR:

Error Number: 1064

Description: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘’ at line 1

Query: SELECT * FROM exp_upload_prefs WHERE id =

Does anybody have an idea what’s wrong.

thank you

I too get an intermittent error when image exists on upload location

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in D:\Programs\XAMPP_1.6.7\htdocs\system\extensions\fieldtypes\ngen_file_field\ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 411

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\Programs\XAMPP_1.6.7\htdocs\system\extensions\fieldtypes\ngen_file_field\ft.ngen_file_field.php:411) in D:\Programs\XAMPP_1.6.7\htdocs\system\core\core.functions.php on line 296

Image is uploaded fine but file field doesn’t have the information.

There is also another issue when one deletes the row entirely. This doesn’t trigger file deletion from the server.

I wasn’t even aware that this was able to delete the file from the server when a row, etc. is removed.

On another note, is anybody aware of whether nGen File Field uploads the files the same way as the stock EE one? What I mean is, when I publish a new entry and upload a new file, I tell it place the URL only into the custom field and it places my file upload destination in curly braces { } before the file name.

@Cem Meric Thanks for creating the demo video! I’m sure it will be helpful to many.

Anyone up for posting a tutorial/screencast?

I’ve made a quick demo video using FF Matrix and nGen File Field in ExpressionEngine. I might give you some tips.

Yes, thanks for putting that together.

Is it possible getting this working with a SAEF?

Game. Over.

Epic Victory. This extension combo will reinvent how I use ExpressionEngine.

Not sure if I am just being simple but when I use this I get the following output -

# a:1:{s:9:“file_name”;s:14:“e-brochure.pdf”;}

Using this code -

I get a similar output, can anyone post some code how to convert/format that into html?

ignore

Mine was because I was using a plugin to pull out the contents. I just used the standard file upload feature. Not as good but I don’t have time to spare on this.

Not sure if I am just being simple but when I use this I get the following output -

# a:1:{s:9:“file_name”;s:14:“e-brochure.pdf”;}

Using this code -

<a href="{tutorials_file}">{tutorials_file}</a>

I presume {tutorials_file} is your main “Field Name”.

Try using “Col Name” that you’ve put in with the “Matrix Configuration” so, it should be {file_name} instead e.g.

Also If you upload more than one file you can wrap it around the main field name

Thanks Cem. Where the hell is this information in the docs?

Thanks Cem. Where the hell is this information in the docs?

I know, it’s not easy to find.

@mmjaeger Please PM me your environment details, EE version, PHP version, Linux or Windows server, and a description of how to recreate the issue.

@Cem Meric Please PM me with your environment details and if there’s a way to reproduce the problem every time.

@stinhambo The documentation you’re looking for is actually specific to FieldFrame and the FF Matrix type. link
