Replace existing files

gavnosis · 2018-01-31 08:04:22

Maybe I’ve never tried to do this on the current version of Textpattern (and I can’t find any other reference to this in this forum, so it could be me/my server).

If I browse to replace a file in a TXP site, I am unable to actually replace it. I can click replace, but it doesn’t update to the latest.

Anyone else seen this?

Hi Gavin, can you give any indication of:

your Textpattern version
perhaps whether the filename (existing or new) might have anything to do with it, e.g. funny characters, spaces etc.
whether your files folder is writable

Hello

‘Files’ has permissions of 755
Filename has nice underscores: charging_policy.pdf

And possibly my bad (oops!):
Textpattern version: 4.6.0

Hang on whilst I update…

Actually, it does update the file, but not the file name …

Edit
Replace file
Condition
ID#
Name <This isn't updated

This is something on our list for when we refactor the Files panel code – probably next version now.

For now, try adi_file_tab which does this and (of course) more. With his blessing, I was planning to borrow some of Adi’s code and merge it with core for some of the excellent features in this plugin.

Thank you – not something I’ve done wrong then! I’ll try adi_file_tab like you suggest…

PS I love hanging out here because there are helpful and useful answers in record time. Shame I can’t post questions about other software on this forum, too ;-)

What’s happed to the bit in the admin interface where I could enable/disable plugins?

I thought I’d installed it, but…

It’s been a while, but Adi’s plug-in doesn’t seem to have any controls like I used to remember…

Should be in the Plugins panel in the Active column. If you can’t see the Yes/No/Options thingies, try force-refreshing / flushing the browser cache. Might be an old textpattern.js file lurking.
