Using the Advanced Image Upload program with the Smart Image Processor to downsize the images, create a Thumbnail, and also post the filename to a database, the product initially worked for a few months. Then it failed. Meaning, the images don't upload (neither the thumbnails), and it will not post to the database table.

After uninstalling, downloading the plug in again, reinstalling all needed extensions, and recreating EVERYTHING, the product doesn't work anymore. All it does is 'blinks', and then stops after awhile.[]

I'm not sure why. Below is all of the code used. I hope someone is able to help:

Is there no one to help?

Hello Heather,
Could you please remove the "/" after "/gallery" from this line:
$ppu->path = "../../images/gallery/";
And try again?

Hello Heather,

OK. I did make that change and it did the same thing.

What I next tried was removing the Smart Image Processor and reapplying them (to update them to the 2.0.7) and it seems to be working at the moment, although I don't understand why that would've made a difference.

Do you think in the near future that you guys will be adding to the Advanced Multi Upload to allow the bulk files to be uploaded within a multiple category form field?

To give you an example, we have hundreds of photos that fall under specific categories. Instead of recreating the AMU for every category, can the AMU be programmed to work within a <form> and upload the filenames to a database based upon a chosen category in a list?

Hello Heather,

It is possible to add to the <form>, which the AMU is placed in additional fields and have all this added in to a database.

But it doesn't look like the AMU supports it for each file being uploaded. Each file belongs to a different category, and that doesn't seem to be an option at this point, but thank you for the heads up!

Hello Heather,

Well that is so - once set the value is recorder for each file.

Regards,

Looks like it quit again. What's going on?

No error messages. It supposedly succeeds in the upload and processing but there is nothing posted to the database and no files uploaded to the folders. Why?

OK. I got the images uploading, but the filename is still not recording in the dbase table.

Hello Heather,

Try to remove the redirection in the Insert Record server behavior.

Regards,

problem is solved after removing all Server Behaviors and reapplying them in following order:
PAU,
SIP1,2.. etc.
Insert Record

Regards,

Gottcha! Working great now!
