Picture upload issue
Posted: 11 Oct 05 7:02 PM (United States)

Yesterday I updated to version 3.1.18 and we are still having a problem. If I add a picture to a blog entry using the picture upload feature, it uploads the file fine and inserts it in the blog with the text. But, if I try to add another picture to the blog, it erases my text and only shows the most recently uploaded picture, and it gives me an "Entry is Required" at the top of the "edit blog entry" pane. It does upload all the files into the file structure of the server, but there is no way to access the previously uploaded pictures or retrieve the text that was entered into the blog. Is this just not supported (multiple picture uploads in a single blog entry) or is this a problem.

It should be supported to upload more picture to a single entry.

I have done a test show here

And I don't have any problems.

Hm, I believe there is something in the handling what occurs the problem.

Could you describe step by step how the problem occurs.

Steps to reproduce problem:

1) Create a new blog entry (also works to edit an existing)
2) Click Browse to select an image next to the picture text box.
3) Select an image from my hard drive
4) Click Upload, it uploads and displays in the text editor (using DNN rich text editor) and the file name is displayed in the Linked Files section.
5) I then browse again and select another image to upload, and click upload.

I get a red message that says "Entry is Required" at the top of the pane above the "Entry date" field. Both filenames for the uploaded pictures are displayed in the Linked Files area, but only the second image is displayed in the text editor. Also, if there was any text in the text editor before, it is now gone. If I click Update, I get the "Entry is Required" message again. If I now add text to the editor, which now displays neither image, it will let me update, but neither of the pictures are displayed in the actual blog. If I edit the blog, it still displays both pictures in the Linked Files area.

I now realize that if any picture is displayed in the text editor, if I click update, it gives the "Entry is Required" message and clears the textbox completely. The only way I can actually post a blog is to have only text in the text editor, even the the images are still uploaded and show in the Uploaded Files section.

I hope this helps, if there is any more information I can give, please let me know. Thank you for your assistance.

I have attached a screen shot of the "Entry is Required" message
