Hello,
I have a safecracker file field to upload docs. It works great, but when you click on the little black x in the grey circle to delete an uploaded file, it shoots you to the top of the page instead of deleting the file. So you can’t delete a file and upload another. Seems like a javascript issue. Is it a bug?

Thanks, Kelly

I should add it works in the cp, but not in the safecracker form on the front-end of the site. Which you could probably tell from the screenshot, but just to be clear.

I am using safecracker and safecracker file add-on to enable image upload from the front end.

I have noticed a bug in the add-on. first time file upload is working fine. when we go to edit the uploaded image file it does not get saved into the cms. While if we do this via EE backend, it works well.

Do you have an idea of this?

here are the versions
EE 2.1.3
Build:  20101220
SafeCracker : 1.0.3
SafeCracker File : 1.0.3

So you can delete an uploaded file, upload a new one and it reverts to the original uploaded file?

Yes, you are right. It’s happening that way.

Any news?

Sounds like we are having different issues. I cannot delete a file on the front-end, once it has been uploaded. If you can do that, then we are having different issues and my issue is not a bug, it might be more specific to my install. But I did just check it in Firefox, Chrome and Safari and can’t delete a file in any of those browsers.

You might want to open a new topic for your issue. You might get better feedback that way.

when I simply delete the file and click on submit. Original file still get reverted. means files are not being deleted in real. its the js which hide the file when I click on remove.

When I click on the X to delete the uploaded file, it does not revert back to a browse file input field. I assume when you delete a file it does revert to an browse input field because you said you uploaded another file. Correct?

you are right. when I click on -X then current file gets hidden and choose image icon comes.
I have attached the image for reference. this is what comes initially.

This is 2nd image which comes after I have clicked on -x.

That’s why we are having separate issues, because the Choose File field does not come back when I try to delete a file. It shoots me to the top of the page and when I scroll to the field, the file is still there with the little X. The Choose File field does not come back.

Maybe it leads to the same end problem, but our fields are doing 2 different things 😊

Hi Kelly and Satya,

Okay, I think we’ll keep these issues together since they do seem to be related. Firstly, can you both please replicate your SC forms on clean templates i.e. no other markup apart from doctype etc., CSS or JS and confirm that this same issue occurs?

Cheers

Greg

I have tested safecraker in a clean file. Title is editable but the image still remains uneffected.

Hi Satya,

I can’t replicate this issue on my local installation I’m afraid. Clicking to remove an existing image from an entry and then saving that entry does indeed remove the file. Which other 3rd party fieldtypes are you using in the channel that is displaying this issue? Can you please create a new test channel and put only a Safecracker file field into a fieldgroup for that test channel. Does the issue still occur?

@Kelly, did you have a chance to test this on a stripped down template?

Cheers

Greg

Sorry, just got around to debugging this further. When I delete the [removed][removed] call at the end of my page, the file upload field works as it should: it deletes the file. So it looks like it’s a javascript conflict. I am using Matrix to display the File upload fields, so maybe it is something within that.

Thanks for checking into it. Kelly
