Having trouble with django-filebrowser

[Mike Dewhirst]

I have tried both django-filebrowser and django-filebrowser-no-grappelli
with django-tinymce4-lite

The TinyMCE part is working fine in the Admin and trying to insert an
image in the text is trying to work and if I pasted in a url it would
probably insert the image it points to.

The problem is there is no browse button in the image-insert dialog box.

The Admin ImageField [Browse] button works fine.

In settings ...
FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY = '/'

    url(r'^admin/filebrowser/', include(site.urls)),
    url(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

Any hints appreciated ..

Thanks

Mike

An update. I adjusted settings ...

FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY = 'uploads/'
FILEBROWSER_VERSIONS_BASEDIR = '_versions/'

.. and to match these dirs ...

'media/_versions/'
'media/uploads/'

Still won't show me an upload or browse button in the insert image dialog.

I also uninstalled and reinstalled to no effect.

Thanks for any help

Hi Mike,

What Django version are you using? Is this happening with Python 2 or 3?

Have you tried to turn on Python warnings?

Have you tried to use the development verion of django-filebrowser?

Sorry Etienne. Should have mentioned that.

Python 3.6 but it also needs to work with Py27

Django 1.11.8

Yes. Installed from trunk. Same outcome. Here is a screenshot

This time with version 3.9.2 having climbed a little higher into the
branches ...

C:\Users\mike\envs\xxct3\lib\site-packages\django_filebrowser-3.9.2-py3.6.egg\filebrowser\sites.py:12:

RemovedInDjango20Warning: Importing from django.core.urlresolvers is

  url(r'^admin/filebrowser/', include(site.urls)),

But no change.

I have also deleted my project/templates/admin folder and still no
change from the screenshot sent earlier - which I did not see so I'll
attach a new one to this email.

Cheers

Mike

Looks likes this is using javascript. What does the javascript console
says? Is the markup of the page valid HTML?

I don't have IE. I can't see a Javascript console with either Chrome or
Firefox. What should I look for specifically?

How can I test for valid html? View source and inspect it manually?

Which I just did and it looks ok.

Thanks for sticking with this. I appreciate it.

It is bedtime here.

I was just mousing around and playing with Chrome's tools on the Ubuntu
16.04 staging server and triggered a django error pasted here ...

http://dpaste.com/1G3A8JW

Error finding Upload-Folder (site.storage.location + site.directory)

Could you please explain what the upload folder is?

I'm confused whether it is a constraint to keep the uploader confined on
the source machine or perhaps the area for upload storage on the web
server - which would be a download - and anyway that is the MEDIA_ROOT I
suspect.

Thanks

Mike

[Mike Dewhirst]

Further to this, it is now working nicely on the staging server - Ubuntu
16.04 Apache 2.2 vhost Python 2.7 mod-wsgi

The problem was related to not uninstalling django-tinymce before
installing django-tinymce4-lite and similarly with
django-filebrowser-no-grappelli.

So it looks like your guess was correct. There must have been a
javascript mashup in there somewhere.

However, the same treatment fails on my Windows runserver dev platform.
Brand new virtualenv for Py27 and Py36 still fail to show the little
browse link on the right-hand end of the Source field.

Additionally I *just* noticed there is a Filebrowser app displaying in
the Admin on the staging server but not on the dev site! I'll have to
look into that and report back. If I can get to the bottom of that it
will be the resolution. My CI system guarantees the same source
everywhere so there must be something I'm doing somewhere which is
causing it.

Thank you very much for responding. I reckon it sometimes makes the
difference between giving up (well, working around) and persisting.

Cheers

Have you verified that your Windows virtualenv is not including the global system Python libraries as well? There may be a conflict at the system level outside if your virtualenv. Inspecting the search path should reveal where Python is looking.

The javascript is slightly different between dev on localhost and
staging and I'm totally outta my depth :(

In the <head> section of the staging site which DOES show the upload
widget there is a line which isn't in the localhost dev site ...

<script type="text/javascript" src="/tinymce/filebrowser/"></script>

... which bothers me. It doesn't seem to be a js script???

Another difference is directly beneath the TinyMCE HTMLField textarea.
See NOT IN LOCALHOST SCRIPT below.

<script type="text/javascript">(
function($){
    function tinymce4_init(selector){
        var tinymce4_config={
            'file_browser_callback':djangoFileBrowser, <---- NOT IN
LOCALHOST SCRIPT
setup:function(editor){editor.on('change',function(){editor.save();});},
            "language":"en",
            "contextmenu":"formats | link image",
            "statusbar":true,
            "toolbar1":"formatselect | bold italic underline |
alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist |
outdent indent | table | link image | codesample | preview code",
            "directionality":"ltr",
            "height":360,
            "width":"auto",
            "theme":"modern",
            "plugins":"link image preview codesample contextmenu table
code lists",
            "inline":false,
            "selector":"textarea#id_instruction",
            "menubar":false
        };
        if(typeof selector!='undefined'){
            tinymce4_config['selector']=selector;
        }
        tinymce.init(tinymce4_config);
    }tinymce4_init();
})();
</script>

I have found file_browser_callback in a number of files but really don't
understand javascript well enough to make sense of it. Re-venving and
reinstalling everything

... doesn't make any difference.

On reflection I'm giving up. It is working on the Ubuntu side and while
I don't understand why I don't have any more time to put into it.

Thank you all very much for your input. It makes this community - and
Django - special.
