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!

  • exactly!!!

    there should be a combination of the old and new where everything is configurable and optional, thereby making it still easy to use for newbies and likable for more advanced users…

    I even tried replacing the xmlrps.php file from 1.5 to 2.0
    no go, I get the message, uploads are not allowed on this blog!

    I sure hope the programmers are reading this thread.

    because if you use a third party editor, you can’t use wp version 2.0, which makes it the ONLY platform unusable by third party editors.

    I think Matt and his team are working on these issues. Please, just be patience and consider that the 2.0 version is just, so far, a stable version which not always means “final”. Actually, there’s no an official public annoucement about the release, at least not written on the WP Blog that is expected to be the “official word”.

    All of this was caused because we users carried the news too quickly and maybe yes, a more extensive beta testing… who knows. =(

    I had a similar post in another thread …

    Regardless of the tone of BudWiser’s comments, he’s pretty much on the mark. In fact, it seems like I was able to post images remotely (in my case with Qumana, who I work for) on my wp.com blogs …

    So this is something I’d like to see addressed. While experienced users might be able to tweak their settings or use a different plugin, a lot of users, especially wp.com users, won’t be able to.

    From my basic experiments using Qumana … it looks like you just get a 500 server non-response error. Like the remote client is asking, “Hey where should I put this?” and the server isn’t responding to it.

    Some kind of update appears to be required at the wp level, something that would handle it.

    trishussey were you able to some how get Qumana to post images to
    2.0? If so, how? I’ve set up a test blog just to try to figure out a work around if there is one.

    Yes … I just found a simple work around from our competitor Ecto (kudos to them).

    https://ecto.kung-foo.tv/archives/001602.php

    I just tested it and it seems to work.

    This fix requires two edits in the wp-includes/functions-post.php file. The other option running around (I haven’t tried yet) is using xmlrpc.php file from an earlier beta of WP 2.

    Word from Ecto is that WP will be reverting to the old behaviour for uploads … WP folks … could you e-mail me with a confirmation? Thx.

    Hopefully they can combine the old and new. If so, it would be a very useful and great feature in wordpress

    Kahil … I completely agree. The best of both would be perfect. The new organizer is nice … if we can get the two combined … aswesome, freakin’ awesome.

    i’d like to keep the gallery idea, but have everything configurable. the default would be set to options for maximum easiness, for those who are new. and then there would be a way for those more advanced to set things up the way they like.

    things like choosing the upload directory. having more than one upload directory to choose from. have the option of creating the thumbnails or not. have it so that when you click on the image in the gallery, you don’t get the lil popup, you get to choose the options from a form with radials or check boxes (this cause my security features depending on what computer i am on prevents it). and then, the ability to add other options to the code, like to set the class of the image (i.e. alignright, alignleft, centered, etc) and then click a button to add it to the post/page.

    so in short, lol…a combination of the old and new…..

    trishussey, the beta 2 xmlrpc file doesn’t work for me using Rocket
    Post or Qumana. I get error message indicate uploads are not
    allowed.

    Have not tried the hacks, will wait for a official revision.

    Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

    I haven’t tried the xmlrpc myself either … I did the hack myself.

    And I hope that we get an official fix too … and for WP.com as well.

    Kahil – I am having the same problem with the custom image menu not showing. It will not show in either firefox 1.5 or internet explorer. I do get a javascript error when I click on the image regarding “doPopup is not defined.” Can you share what you did to fix this?

    Live_4U/anyone else:

    i fixed the destination path for my uploads like you said and all is working well but i was wondering if there’s a way to set a field so i can choose to make a folder for groups of pics. like images/wp/ is the original destination and i want a folder for “images/wp/beachpics” for like 6 photos i took while at the beach. is this possible without having to do it manually?

    i’m having the problem Kahil was having now. I can get the edit options (link/delete/thumbnail or original) to come up on the all images located on the SECOND page (by clicking next) but not the first. so i can’t do anything with them. sigh.

    LIVE 4U’s solution (editing inline-uploading.php) doesnt seem to work for WP 2.0.1. any ideas?
