I am getting the following error when i edit or publish anything that uses file_field:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: filename
Filename: libraries/File_field.php
Line Number: 77

i just updated form 1.6.9 to 2.5.3 anyone have ideas what might be causing this or how to stop it?

I had the exact same error message. I just upgraded from 2.1.0 to 2.5.3. This is what worked for me.

Go to: content > Files > File manager > File Upload Preferences

Click on the icon that says “synchronize” (if you have several folders you need to do this for every one of them).

Hello IRIS_HQ,

Thank you for your question.

swedenfishing says that he had the same issue and it was solved by syncing files. Can you give that a try?

If that does not work, can you make sure that you have uploaded all the files from 2.5.3 and that you have the file field type installed? Control Panel->Add-Ons->Field Types

Please let me know how that goes.

Cheers,

Shane i’m having the same issue. I just synchronized my upload directoires. And made sure i had field type installed and i’m still having the same issue.

Do you know what else i can do ?

Hey Alfredo Canales,

What version of ExpressionEngine are you currently on?

What version did you upgrade from?

I will try and reproduce, I may need to upgrade from the same version as you to reproduce this exactly.

Thank you,

I had 2.4.0 , but i just downgraded again. Support took much time to answer and i needed my site back up

I had tons of problems after upgrade (all solved now). Since that didn’t work for you I can’t be 100% sure it was actually just that fix that made it for me (it seemed like it, but it’s possible it was one of all my other fixes that made it). I had an old version of the Matrix field type 2.1.2 (not tested with a newer - not using it anymore) and when I unistalled it, it fixed a lot of my PHP error messages.

Hey Alfredo,

Are you sure? We can pursue this if you wish, will do what I can to help you out.

Please let me know.

Cheers,
