File uploader for minigallery field

I assume there should be a hidden field for the file upload form in the file as it uploads files in a secure place, which is unreachable for an image-list.

FLEXIcontent version 2.0.0 RC9 (r1514)

minigallery is uploading to FLEXIcontent MEDIA folder, while image(image gallery) and file field are uploading to FLEXIcontent SECURE folder,

future version of minigallery will be able to use the "folder mode" that was added to image(image gallery) field , and thus have item_id_field_id specific folder

Then this is a bug, as a minigallery does NOT upload to a MEDIA folder by default. Unlike RC5, for example.

I have checked r1522 from SVN for this behavior. The same problem exists.

Another problem is with other "Image / Image Gallery" field.

I add an image to a material. The next time I try to edit and save the material, it tells me there is an unfilled input, which happens to be a file input of a hidden form "Change this value". After I re-set it, it proceeds normally.

there is a bug with the required parameter for new image/image gallery field, please disable it, this is fixed some revision after r1514

about minigallery, it does use the media folder, which has a default value of :
components/com_flexicontent/medias

Thank you for the reply.

Concerning the minigallery, I experienced such behaviour:
1. Pressed "Add" button.
2. Uploaded file through a modal file manager.
3. Got message "Successfully uploaded and selected"

though the list under the upload form remained empty. And in fact no file had been selected. But when I went to the file manager view. The file has been in the secure list.

After inserting this workaround:
everything went on normal - I uploaded a file and it appeared in the list after the upload.

You are right the image is wrongly uploaded into the secure folder instead of the media folder, will commit fix

this was a bug introduced recently

thanks for reporting

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="secure" value="0" />

for the file upload form in the file

Code:

administrator/components/com_flexicontent/views/fileselement/tmpl/image.php

as it uploads files in a secure place, which is unreachable for an image-list.

FLEXIcontent version 2.0.0 RC9 (r1514)

Ok i have just confirmed it

This hidden field was there before and it was deleted when we introduced folder mode for fileselement view / filemanager controller

Thanks for report

It is a pleasure.

Hope to see a new commit soon!

Unfortunately, r1528 did not fix required validation problem.

Regardless if I selected an image or not it marks the whole field invalid.

Problem might be with this:

com_flexicontent_v2.x/plugins/image/image.php

str 546

When a new item is created the value is blank. And the
value is not updated if I just select a file to upload. So there is no possible way for it to pass validation.
