Latest version of SimpleGallery.01.09.05 on DNN 4.0.3

I immediately get "page cannot be displayed "uploading Multiple photo files to the gallery from a brand new album the first time a module is being used with a brand new album. I'm running locally (so it's pretty fast) and web.config timeout settings are increased as recommended. I try to sync it afterwards and a dotnetnuke error comes up saying the file path does not exist.

However if I upload a single photo first (which works), I can then upload the zip file, everything works fine after that, including new albums etc, the bug completely goes away.

So I don't think the folders are being created properly when the first thing you do is upload a ZIP file. When you upload your first photo however the folders are created properly and everything will work properly after that. This happened with a brand new module installation (first time I used the app, I subscribed today).

Please confirm bug for next release.

Many Thanks

Hi

I followed the exact procedure you described (no custom file path). The only difference is that I had only just uploaded the module (successfully) for the first time ever and I was using DNN 4.0.3.

I shall try installing the module on another new page and see if the problem repeats itself. Might be 48 hours before I get back to you (sorry).

Everything in DNN generally works fine (permissions and everything).

Cheers

Scott,

I am playing with your Simple Gallery and I am experiencing issues on upload of ZIP files.I'm using DNN 4.3.4. 

This is strickly a test site (http://argostuff.topcatcomputing.com:8081/TestPage/tabid/60/AlbumID/378-1/Default.aspx), but I can give you what ever access you need to DNN to test this.. I'm using this site to test out different modules that I will be using across the different sites I manage. 

I have a lot of photos to move over so the bulk import or writing simple SQL statements to add/update everything to the DB.

But for now, I was just trying the ZIP upload, and after a few minutes, getting page can not be displayed.

Let's try one mor time!!! From my config:

Scott, can you remove my other posts? I can't get my XML to paste. I'll try it here without the tags:

allow large file uploads

 httpRuntime useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="true" maxRequestLength="102400" executionTimeout="1800"

Scott,

This did the trick, i uploaded a 18 MB ZIP and it worked like a charm:

I note a difference, my original httpRuntime  had this additional key. I don't know what it does, or if it is required. Can You advise?

  requestLengthDiskThreshold="8192"

Here is a thought, can  you make the Max Size & time out values configureable via the module instead of editiing the web.config directly...Suggestion for a future revision..

Are you going via a proxy server, what is the exact and complete error message you are getting? I get problems like this though my ISA 2000 proxy server. I gave in, in the end, I just could not find out how to configure the ISA server timeout (apart from the obvious settings and that didn't work).

The best way a web app can upload files in my opinion is:
a) Have a progress bar to show status.
b) Consistently refresh the web page every 30 seconds or so i) to avoid web page timeouts ii) To update the progress bar (unless you are using AJAX or something).

>Here is a thought, can  you make the Max Size & time out values configureable via the module >instead of editiing the web.config directly...Suggestion for a future revision..

I would not like that. Firstly it's a one off set and forget setting, secondly changes to web.config may restart your app, and this could be done by anyone who has access to editing this module.
