New upload feature – problem

  • Hi there,

    with v2 of WordPress, a new upload feature has been included to the ‘Write’ page.

    When I upload an image with that feature and add the iamge to a post, WordPress always adds the picture as a small preview thumbnail – I was unable to find a way to insert the image in its original size.

    Maybe I am missing something, but even the functions of an uploaded image’s context menu do not help – whatever settings I choose, WordPress always inserts thumbnails instead of the original image. Tried it with IE and FF – no difference.

    Also: it would be cool if the path of an uploaded image (or file) would be displayed in the new upload section.

    Thanks!

    It’s probable that uploaded files before you made the changes will not work and it’s advisable that you delete the files, you can do it by clicking on the square where the images they were supposed to be.

    Try uploading something new.

    Sorry if get misundertood, but english is not my natural language…

    My English it’s so bad.

    Only insert this in wp-config.php

    define(‘UPLOADS’,”dir_name”);

    dir_name is the directory route.

    yeah… i did upload new pictures… and yeah, the old pics in that directory don’t show up…but…when i click on the image, nothing happens… i get nothing… even with the helpful fixes from you (thank you), the feature is still obsolete cause i’m still having to code it all by hand… that and i still don’t like the idea that it creates a thumbnail image… if i upload and have lots of pics, its just taking up more space…

    thank you

    Strange… maybe your javascript it’s disabled.

    nope…all enabled…

    **EDIT**

    I even re-downloaded the files from here and replaced them…and no luck…right now, all its doing is uploading the pic and creating a thumbnail… i can see the images i’ve uploaded…but thats it…

    I’ve tried doing searches and setting changes with my browser…

    I also just tried it in IE (i’m using Firefox 1.07) and it works in IE…

    **confused**

    Tested on Firefox 1.5, Opera 8.5… all it’s working fine.

    Wow deviant. Why haven’t I thought of that…

    Just add this below the Import line in menu.php (and upload upload.php)

    $menu[50] = array(__('Upload'), 'read', 'upload.php');

    Nice Tijmen!!! Much better than hacking the other files!! =)
    Kahil, you should try this!!!

    i got it working now…

    hmmm…

    i don’t like the lil popup that covers the image…
    it would be nicer if when you clicked the image there were simple radial buttons or check boxes to select the featurs you want…

    i would if i could still download the old version…

    E-mail??

    ok…

    i managed to find an old copy…

    and i did all that…but…i get a message saying “The admin disabled this function”

    honestly…

    this whole thing isn’t worth the effort…

    i’ll prolly just stick to doing it by ftp and coding by hand until its been fixed, replaced or something better comes along…

    in theory, the idea of it is good, it just doesn’t seem well tested or planned out. it would be great if it the old and new were combined…

    thanks

    None of the solutions thus far addresses the problem faced with
    people who do NOT use the wp editor at all and use a third party
    editor like Rocket Post.

    In version 1.5 I simply enable file uploading
    fillout the directory path in the dashboard, make sure that
    directory is writable

    Configue my editor rocket post to the same upload directory as my
    dashboard and I’m good to go!

    In version 2.0 this will not work! No matter what folder I select,
    or what permissions I set, wp only allows uploads through it’s
    upload.php

    There needs to be a way to upload images remotely without ftp
    just like version 1.5!!!!!!

    I had to give up and switch back to version 1.5.

    Version 2.0 is designed for (no offense) idiots! It assumes you
    only have one blog or a few blogs and will only use the wp editor!

    There needs to be way to enable and disable the current method,
    be able to switch to the version 1.5 method and completely bypass
    the new uploader method so people who do use third part editors
    can still post images automatically.
