We have been using Image_FUpload for some time. Recently we had problems uploading more than one file at a time. In an attempt to resolve this, I disabled the module on the site. Since doing this, the image fields no longer show on the content edit forms at all and despite re-enabling the module, they are not reappearing.

We can't recreate the content type because there are 1000's of items of content already in the site, which are still working fine.

Is there anything we could try to resolve this? Please let me know if you have any suggestions at all.

Thanks

I tried to reproduce what you described and I wasn't able to make it fail so completely.

The Image FUpload CCK field type is really just a widget for a FileField CCK type, so if you uninstall Image FUpload, the node still keeps the the data intact and, although it's corrupted, in my case the fields remained with the node, although not in the edit form.

I even disabled the FileField type and the items remained with my test node.

I then went back and re-enabled the modules and the field re-appeared in the node and on the edit form.

But this is a corrupted database situation, so I suppose anything's possible.

Do you know if the fields are still associated with the nodes? (If you install the Devel module, it will add a "Devel" tab that will allow you to explore the node's internal content.)

I wonder if something else is related to the failure.

What, no backup? ;-) :-(

Although it's possible that what you are experiencing is related to a bug, what you describe is the removal of the support of a field type. Although unpleasant, it's normal for data to be removed when its type is removed from its schema. It's like removing a field type from a database structure. Therefore, I've changed this issue from a "bug report"to a "support request". If other details indicate a bug, submit it separately and let's keep this support request separate from it.

Thanks for your help. We do have regular backups, but unfortunately, with many people adding content to the site at the same time, it is quite a job to do an isolated restore process, without losing new content.

After resaving the node type a few times and reenabling the modules, I have now managed to get the image fields to reappear. In the Node Type, it says it is the image fupload field, but is now displaying on the node edit form as a normal image upload. A step in the right direction at least!

Are you referring to the Dev Load and Dev Render tabs for checking the field association? I suppose it's working though if the field is now enabled on the edit form and the content type is displaying it correctly (even for new content now).

So it's looking good!

Just need to work out why the Image FUpload widget isn't integrating now! I need this module enabled for the content type to work, but can't utilise the functionality.

Support suggestions much appreciated.

You could try resaving the CCK settings where the Image FUpload widget is present.

I think you have to change the cck filefield widget type from FUpload to just Image... I believe you have to do this before you uninstall FUpload... Or I would assume.

Also. Plupload or Plup is a way better multiple image uploader. It is not flash based like this one.
