@frawoer. You can send an email to support[at]valorapps[dot]com
@frawoer. Thanks for posting. Ok. What you listed above does not mean that the plugin isn’t working. It is just telling me about your server’s configuration.
To let me know your problem, you need to give me a screenshot of your problem, or a description of what Error message is on the screen when you try to upload.
Once you let me know your actual error, I will need to access the webpage to test it myself. You can email me the page link and any log in details that I need to access it.
With your system, you have PHP 5.2, and so FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE will not be available. However, you can call exec and shell_exec, which means that you may be able to find out the mime types. I have a method to test the mime detection on your system. However, I would prefer to find out if that is the error you are getting first.
Please understand that it is NOT an error to not have FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE defined or mime_content_type. It just tells me that those two methods of detection are not available in your PHP setup.
So, please let me see the error.

Dank für die Buchung. Ok. Was Sie oben aufgeführten bedeutet nicht, dass das Plugin nicht funktioniert. Es wird nur erzählt mir die Konfiguration Ihres Servers.
Lassen Sie mich wissen Ihr Problem, müssen Sie gib mir einen Screenshot von Ihrem Problem , oder eine Beschreibung dessen, was Fehlermeldung auf dem Bildschirm , wenn Sie versuchen hochzuladen.
Einmal können Sie mir Ihre tatsächliche Fehler, werde ich brauchen, um die Webseite aufzurufen, um zu testen, es selbst. Sie können mailen Sie mir die Seite zu verlinken und keine Login-Daten, dass ich auf ihn zugreifen müssen.
Mit Ihrem System haben, müssen Sie PHP 5.2, und so FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE sind somit nicht verfügbar. Allerdings können Sie anrufen und shell_exec exec, was bedeutet, dass Sie vielleicht in der Lage sein, um herauszufinden, die MIME-Typen bedeutet. Ich habe eine Methode, um den MIME-Erkennung auf Ihrem System zu testen. Allerdings würde ich es vorziehen, um herauszufinden, ob der Fehler ist, dass Sie immer zuerst.
Bitte haben Sie Verständnis, dass es nicht ein Fehler auf keinen FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE definiert oder mime_content_type. Es sagt mir nur, dass diese beiden Methoden zur Erkennung nicht verfügbar sind, in Ihre PHP-Konfiguration.
Also, lasst es mich bitte sehen Sie den Fehler.
@frawoer. Thank you for posting. This situation does not relate to Easy Flash Uploader. It relates to Easy File Uploader. If you want me to help you with a specific problem you are having, you will need to open a new topic in the Easy Flash Uploader section of this website. If fileinfo_mime_type is not defined, it does not mean that you have a problem. You will need to post a message explaining your problem, and copy and paste the diagnostic information in the Plugins Manager. Are you having problems detecting the mime type? Posting a link to a screenshot of your problem helps.

Easy Flash Uploader Version: 2.0
Customizing buttons on the newest version of the uploader is easier than ever!
Go to the NEW Button Sprite Maker (Version 2.0), and design your own custom button.
Then copy the CSS and paste it in the the relevant css file in the themes folder.
Save the button sprite PNG file to your computer and upload it to the buttons folder.
Both of these folders can be found in Joomla root > media > easyflashuploader
@marcel. To get those values, in Joomla, go to Site > System Information > PHP information
By the way, you really shouldn’t allow anyone to upload files to your server like that. At least, make the upload be only available to Registered users who log in to your site.
@marcel. Thanks for posting. I have never experienced what you explain here. Could you provide me with the following:
- PHP value for post_max_size directive
- PHP value for upload_max_filesize directive
- Screenshot of your module Manager settings
- ANy error message in your php log files
We’ll start out there. I am surprised that you are not getting any error message. I may eventually ask you to allow me access to the web page. We can do that on Monday, anyways.
@nomed01. One more thing… for the record, despite the fact that the page takes a long time to load the 2896 row-long table listing, the listing works perfectly as it supposed to. The listing shows and there were no errors on the page. The collapsing after page loading works as it was designed. So, collapse=’1′ is doing what it is supposed to.
I hope my previous post helps you, and everyone, to understand how HTML tables load, and why it takes as long as it does because of the amount of rows the table is trying to load on the webpage. Listing hundreds of files is not a good idea, although it is possible, as Easy Folder Listing Pro has proven.
@nomed01. The “Mootools Upgrade” only refers to Joomla 1.5.
As for how long it takes for a page to load… this is something that persons need to understand is a function of how the HTML page loads the table element and also the processing a memory needed to recurse through numerous folders and files.
First of all, let’s set the record straight, the table on the webpage you just listed contains 2896 table rows in it. You are tying to show over 2000 files on a webpage. I hope I don’t sound mean or disrespectful, but honestly… no one should be attempting to display any table that shows over 2000 files. This fact has nothing to do with my plugin or any similar Joomla extension for displaying files in a table. Of course, a page is going to take an exorbitant amount of time to load over 2000 files. The javascript has nothing to do with it.
If you are going to list a folder structure that contains numerous subfolders with nested levels and lots of files, you need to understand that this will slow down any page. Even without the Javascript handling the collapsing, when you have a large table by itself the entire page will not load until the entire table loads. This is the reason why tables are no longer used for layout in a webpage (apart from it being cumbersome to work with). The entire table must be loaded before the page can be viewed.
If you are going to load a large table with lots of files, it may cause a performance issue on the page. With javascript handling collapsing of nested subfolders, there is a lot of recursion involved in making everything work, that takes quite a bit of processing power and memory usage to do in general.
Setting Collapse to Yes(1) only affects what is done after the page is loaded. Even if you set it to No(0), if the table is large, the page will still take very long to load. That is not a result of the plugin, but a result of the fact that you are loading a huge table in HTML. This is just the way HTML tables work.
If you want to have a better performance you can do one or more of the following:
- Use List instead of Table
- If you want to use a table, list a reasonable amount of files and folders in one listing. For example, you could use multiple listings for various subfolders, instead of one listing for an extensive fodler structure
- Set easing to Linear
- Set transition duration to “short” or even 0
For your particular situation, you are going to need to display much fewer files, in multiple tables, and if possible on different webpages. In all honesty, my professional recommendation is that it is not good practice to display hundreds of files on a webpage. Easy Folder Listing Pro does indeed make it EASY to display hundreds of files, but I, as its developer, do not recommend it. It is not a good organizational practice, nor does it provide a good user experience.
Let me know what you think.
@jacovc86. I haven’t updated the modules for Joomla 2.5 yet. I plan to do that next week. But, you can try the Joomla 1.6+ edition on Joomla 2.5. I haven’t tested it yet, but it should work.
As for one-on-one sessions, I am not sure what you mean. But, do you have experience with PHP? Are you planning to develop Joomla extensions?
@evn64. Thanks for your question. All you need to do is to change the value for “Show empty message” from “Yes” to “No” in the Plugins Manager. See the following screenshot for guidance.
@jacovc86. To find out exactly what mime to type, it is best to find out what mime type is being detected. Here is the new link to the updated test script: mime test script version 4
Here is the way it works: The idea of the test script is to find out what functions work with your server, and to see what mime types they detect on your system. So, if you plan on uploading only mp3 files, then what you do is ftp to your site and place an mp3 file and the test script file in a folder, and then run the test script. That will tell you exactly what is being detected. Then you will know exactly what mime types to specify in the “Permitted file types” in the Module Manager.
@dougevans. I got your email, and checked out your uploader. See my screenshot result.
Actually, I don’t see a problem at all, Doug.
You specified that 3 files can be uploaded. I only loaded one file, and as you can see it was successfully uploaded. The reason why you get two “Return Code: 4 No file was uploaded” messages is because you didn’t upload two more files. Do you understand?
You should find the file “About Stacks.pdf” in the upload folder. That’s the file that I uploaded.
@dougevans. Ok, let me see if I can explain a bit better. The idea of the test script is to find out what functions work with your server, and to see what mime types they detect on your system. So, if you plan on uploading only pdfs and word files, then what you do is ftp to your site and place a pdf file, a doc file and a docx file, and the test script file in a folder, and then run the test script. That will tell you exactly what is being detected. Then you will know exactly what mime types to specify in the “Permitted file types” in the Module Manager.
I hope that clarifies how to best use the test script.
@dougevans. It is best to run the script in the same folder that lists the types of files you want to upload. That way, you can see what mime types are being detected for the files you are working with.
