[ZendTo] Re: Release 3.64 with upload progress bars

Fri Feb 18 01:12:03 GMT 2011

Sorry to report back with a possible bug, if it is not something I am
doing wrong.

I put the current version into production the other night here.

I have had reports that the progress bar does not seem to work all of
the time and that they are having troubles sending large files (1+ gig
in this case). 

When I looked into it what I found is that for large dropoffs this seems
to be the case with either IE or Firefox.  (I have not tested any other
browsers)

I was wondering if you could tell me what to look at to determine what
my problem is. Or if this is a bug.

The 1st screenshot is an example dropoff that is being uploaded in
Firefox.  It is a 1.2 gig file that is probably 20-30% of the way
uploaded based on watching iptraf on the zendto server after a certain
time period.  As you can see the upload progress is stuck at 100, it
stayed at 100% until when I believe the upload should have finished
sucessfully..  But it did not.  The 2nd screenshot is what I was
returned to after waiting for it to finish. (it looks like zendto resets
itself and never goes to the drop-off summary page and knows nothing
about the file that was just being sent)

BTW, I have triple checked that I have the changes to the php.ini you
note on your site. BTW in CentOS php.ini changes you list the directive
"error_reporting =" twice.

The 3rd and last screenshot is an upload of a 70 meg file that the
progress bar works through the whole transfer and it succesfully
displays the drop-off summary screen after.

I also verified a 380 megabyte upload worked.  I don't have any more
time tonight to keep moving up to find when the issues start size wize.

I have verified the 1.2 gig file issue happens in either Firefox or IE
(IE 7 in this case) 

1st screenshot when the 1.2 gig upload is around 20-30% done:

2nd screen shot: (this is what came up after the upload finished for the
1.2 gig file) - No drop-off summary page.

3rd Screenshot is a 70 meg upload after several seconds as the file
transfers in the same Firefox browser. (It eventually gets to 0 and
shows the drop-off summary)

Thanks,

Brian

I've just tested with IE9 and it works there too.

Yay, we win! :-)

	Actually ignore that for now..

	I just tested with IE6 and it works now. I was testing with IE9
only when I tried again before I posted the below.

	I am not at my desk now and will test with IE7 and IE8 later.

	I added the line to my
/opt/zendto/myzendto.templates/new_dropoff.tpl file.

	So now it is:

	                  <script type="text/javascript">
	                    function submitform() {
	                      if (validateForm()) {

document.getElementById("progress").style.visibility="visible";

window.frames.progress_frame.start('{$progress_id}');
	                        document.dropoff.submit();
	                      }
	                    }
	                  </script>

	I also had this additional change in place already that I made:

	    <div id="progress"
style="visibility:hidden;width:300px;padding:4px;border:2px solid
#C01010;background:#FFF0F0;color:#C01010;valign:top;">
	      <b>Upload Progress:</b><br/>
	      <iframe id="progress_frame" name="progress_frame"
src="progress.php?progress_id={$progress_id}" frameborder="0"
style="border: none; height: 60px;
	 width: 300px; background:#FFF0F0">
	      </iframe>
	    </div>

	I added the frameborder="0" from earlier, when I compared that
to the one in the templates directory.

	I still was not getting the progress bar update on myzendto.  I
will have to look at it later though I will post back if I have any
better luck after I look at it again..

	And yes before I started testing the new version and made the
above edits, I extracted ALL files from the updated .tgz into the
myzendto.templates myzendto.templates_c templates templates_c.

	And I understand the reasoning behind the % on the progress bar
for very large uploads.

	Thanks!

	Brian,

	Found the MyZendTo problem. To save yourself a lot of
reinstalling, please edit
	    /opt/zendto/myzendto.templates/new_dropoff.tpl
	Around line 185 you'll find a chunk of code that looks like
this:

	function submitform() {
	                      if (validateForm()) {

document.getElementById("progress").style.visibility="vi
	sible";
	                        // scroll(0,0);
	                        document.dropoff.submit();
	                      }
	                    }

	Just before the call to "document.dropoff.submit();" add a line
that says this:

window.frames.progress_frame.start('{$progress_id}');

	Then just reload the page in your web browser and try again.

	Should work now!

	Sorry about that, silly screw-up on my part.

	Jules.

			It looks like it is working fine with zendto, I
tried myzendto and that still is not working for me.   Tested with IE8 &
IE9.

			I compared the progress.tpl between the
templates dir to the myzendto.templates dir and the look alike so I am
not sure why that is happening.

			The new_dropoff.tpl in the myzendto.templates
did have one difference (it did not have frameborder="0" on an iframe
line) I added that but the progress bar still did not update for me on
myzendto.

		You have copied over all the new files in myzendto.www
as well as its "js" subdirectory contents?
		If so, I'll give it a go and see what's up.

			Fortunately I don't need myzendto to work at the
moment since we don't have that rolled out yet.

			Also I can't recall if the behavior before was
the same but it goes from 100% down to 0% on the progress bar, should it
be the reverse? (0% when it is finished) 

		I decided to make it count down to 0 instead of up to
some unknown number that you wouldn't know until it got there. Make
sense? It's not obvious that it's a percentage until you're well on the
way, so with a big file you'll be left with an incrementing number at a
tiny bit of blue bar, with no sign of when it will stop increasing.
