New Extension: nGen File Field for FieldFrame

Using nGen file field with fieldframe. works awesome with slideshow pro to populate a caption, title, link.

However in the control panel it wont show the thumbnail of the photo. It created the thumbs directory inside the uploads folder, but didnt create any images, has 777 permissions, and GD is installed.

Any Ideas??

Hey Fred,

Any idea why I would be receiving these two errors on a rendered template today?

Notice: Use of undefined constant PHP_URL_PATH - assumed 'PHP_URL_PATH' in /srv/www/htdocs/cswww/c2/***/extensions/fieldtypes/ngen_file_field/ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 689

Warning: parse_url() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in /srv/www/htdocs/cswww/c2/***/extensions/fieldtypes/ngen_file_field/ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 689

Thanks!

Does anyone have a tutorial or example of nGen File working in a SAEF?

Well everything was going great with nGen and FF Matrix….but now all of a sudden I’m getting this error:

Undefined index: extension in /…/ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 824

It was working fine for a week or so - what could be wrong?

Well that was weird….

traced it down to a fact that I uploaded an image file without an extension in the name (no .jpg). Deleted that file off the server and the error was gone. Reuploaded with a full name and all is fine.

Problem is - there aren’t any thumbnails being displayed - only the image. Is this because I’ve disabled hotlinking in htaccess? Can’t figure this one out…

OK - figured it out - i’m running MSM and didn’t put the main control panel domain into the .htaccess rules for allowing images. Now all is well. Crisis averted.

Thanks!

Feature Request - Would there be any way to allow the “use an existing file” to also browse the other file upload directories (or ideally specify which ones it can browse)? I have the need to do that on a couple sites where sometimes I have to share a file/images from different sections and it’s not really appropriate to share the directory.

seems like ngen-file-field-0.9.8 is not compatible with fieldframe version 1.2.0, correct?

Note even sure if 0.9.10 is compatible with FF 1.2.0…

Just upgraded both, and my site is completely tanked. None of the nGen field images are showing up on any pages in the front-end.

In the cp, any nGen File fields in FF Matrix fieldtypes are completed whacked too (Can’t delete rows… Adding a row completely messes up the other rows).

Have clients emailing me like crazy… How do I revert back and quickly?? I read somewhere that there were changes to the DB for either nGen File, or FF Fieltypes, can’t remember which).

Heeeeelp.

tx!

I think I had the same situation as you (after I upgraded ngen-file-field 0.9.10)

I’ve looked through this thread and not seen an explicit answer to this, so I guess I’m just going out on a limb to see if anyone can help me, even if it’s been answered before. I’m getting the PHP memory limit error, here is mine specifically:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6592 bytes) in /home/ainswort/public_html/woodbrooknativeplantnursery/admin/extensions/fieldtypes/ngen_file_field/ft.ngen_file_field.php on line 842

This error comes up when you’re in the edit tab, and you click on an entry to try and edit it. The site still functions fine with what has been put in there before, but editing newer entries doesn’t work (in the weblog where the error first showed up, and in any weblog that uses nGen).

I have edited PHP.ini from 32MB to 64MB: “memory_limit = 64M” I have tried adding “php_value upload_max_filesize 64M” and “php_value memory_limit 64M” and “php_value post_max_size 64M” to my .htaccess file and I get a 500 error. (Maybe I’m putting it in the wrong place? Should be able to go anywhere, right?)

Do I specifically need to get the increased limit working w/ .htaccess (if so, what am I doing wrong?), or do I need to increase it past 64 MB? Help would be appreciated!

Go to Admin Tab -> Utilities and then click on PHP info. Make sure that the PHP info file you’re editing is the one determing that setting. It should show up as Local Value. Also make sure you have restarted your server after editing that PHP file.

memory_limit should be one of those rows.

Hi Fred, could you take a look at this thread, I’m having a problem with inserting the image into the DB. Its looking for ‘field_id_26_file_name’ which doesn’t exist.

You think we’ll ever be able to rename images with nGen FF, or specify and/or create sub folders? Might be outside the scope, just asking 😉 …

Probably not anytime soon. File isn’t designed to be a file management system.
