closedI am attempting to use the Batch Add feature under the Archive and seem to be encountering a problem. As far as I can tell, I have the correct permissions on the uploaded files.
Steps to reproduce:
1: I FTP'd a series of jpgs to the files directory under the Dropbox plugin directory.
2: I then logged into the admin site.
3: Clicked on the archive tab.
4: Clicked Batch Add.
At this point I was returned to the Dashboard screen.
Let me clarify something: When you click the 'batch add' secondary tab you're brought back to the dashboard? Or that once you select files on that page, and try uploading them that you're sent to the dashboard?
Neither should occur, but it may give me a better idea of what's going on. Make sure the files directory is writable, because the plugin actually moves files within the file system and will remove them from the /files/ folder upon success.
Hi Dave,
If I follow the Steps to Reproduce detailed above, at the end of the process (after clicking Batch Add) I am brought back to the Main Dashboard where I see the "Getting Started with Omeka" title.
I am not taken to a screen where I have the option to upload the files. (I have already FTP'd the files to the chnm/curiosity/plugins/Dropbox/files directory) but i see no options through the web application.
A potential separate but possibly related issue:
As I was further testing the issue today, I encountered the following on Vista while using IE 7, when I select to add an item (from the main dashboard page), I see the list of items I uploaded through FTP with the check boxes. I also see the list of files in Firefox (also running on Vista). When I look in Firefox on OS X, I do not see the uploaded items.
However, if I check any of the boxes and finish add process, The images are then associated with one item.
This seems to be a separate issue. I have screen-shots if you would like them.
Thanks,
Matt
Hi Matt,
I had accidently installed a newer version of the dropbox plugin, that apparently doesn't work with RC4. I've installed the version of the dropbox that is compatible with RC4, so you should be all set.
