Unable to create file directory

[rheman]

Hi I am using the lastest release of your plugin (3.0). In setting page I allowed Use folder structure.
But my users are not able to create "file folder".
When they click on "file folder" button nothing is done.
I when I check my apache log. nothing is mentioned in my log.
I dont know what i did wrong.

Best regard.

How did you install file_tools?

• download from the community
• download from github
• download from Github releases
• git checkout
• composer install

Since you're missing the required javascript libs (i think) you got a wrong release. I checked our automated zip-builder failed for v3.0.

If you have command line access and composer installed, go to the file_tools mod folder and run composer install

Thanks a lot

I'm getting this same problem, having installed file_tools from the plugin's page on the Elgg.org site.

I'll try deactivating that version, and downloading the ZIP from github (here). Hope that one works, as this feature is one I'm anxious to include in our Elgg site.

Would it be worth updating the download on the Elgg plugin page? (Or am I missing something - quite possible!)

Update 1 - nope. I replaced the Elgg/plugin download with the 3.0 release from github. Got the spinner icon, and saw the "Add folder" button in the sidebar, but the "Add folder" button did nothing, and after trying to upload a small test.txt file, the spinner didn't change, either - just kept spinning.

Is using "composer" the only safe way to install this plugin?

Update 2 - so we got Composer installed, and I ran it ... and something happened!

But, sadly, there is no change in behaviour. I think that's me out of ideas. Hopefully there is a fix!

Update 3 - SO THERE IS A FIX! After watching an Elgg development video on Youtube, I thought it would be a good idea to flush the site Cache in Elgg's admin. So I did. And the plugin is now working. It was, in the end, so simple. I'll update my various other posts about this.

closing this as it seems caching/installation related, not a bug
