[SOLVED] CB 1.8.1 File upload problem File Fields

I seem to have a problem with CB 1.8.1 and uploading files on the front-end in a Field (of type File).

Recently I upgraded Community Builder on a Joomla 1.5.26 website from CB 1.3.1 to CB 1.8.1 (still on Joomla 1.5.26).
I have a Tab called "Library",
with a couple of fields (of type File) assigned: File1, File2, File3

Before the upgrade, with CB 1.3.1, registered users could upload documents (e.g. .pdf) on the front-end.

After the upgrade to CB 1.8.1, registered users see the upload field, but after submitting it refreshes to the homepage, so the homepage is visible in the CB Tab "Library".

I checked the behavior as Admin in the back-end, and I was able to upload the same .pdf file in both CB 1.3.1 & 1.8.1 successfully.

I've compared the configuration of both sites:
Joomla's Global Configuration > System > Media settings,
CB's configuration,
CB Tab Management > "Library"
CB Field Management > "File1"
all look the same...

Why does my CB 1.8.1 refresh the contents of the "Library" tab to the homepage after a file upload attempt? What else should I check?
Thanks in advance!

Are you using ajax usage? Does uploading from Profile Edit function fine? Do you have SEF enabled? If so please disable it and see if issue persists. What version of CB Ajax File Fieldtype plugin are you using?

Wow, that's fast!

> Are you using ajax usage?

Yes, I use Ajax. If under Community Builder Field: edit > "Field-specific Parameters" I set Ajax to "disabled", the whole field will not be displayed on the front-end.

> Does uploading from Profile Edit function fine?

Yes, that works fine. I can upload a jpg image successfully.

> Do you have SEF enabled? If so please disable it and see if issue persists.

Yes, SEF = enabled (with .htaccess). When I disabled, the problem persisted.

> What version of CB Ajax File Fieldtype plugin are you using?
CB Ajax Text Field (cb.ajaxtextfield): CB AjaxTextField 1.1

I noticed that the current version is "CB Core Ajax field plugin version 1.4.4".
So I am gonna update this plugin now & I'll let you know if it solves my problem.

Thanks for your help!

Please do as believe that's the issue. If I recall correctly some older releases had issues with their ajax url and target id, which is fixed in latest.

I just installed the CB Plugin "CB Core Fields Ajax 1.4.4" but now I have two AJAX related CB plugins:

1. CB Ajax Text Field (directory: cb.ajaxtextfield) -> CB AjaxTextField 1.1: A cb fields plugin to add an ajax text field type to available cb field types.
2. CB Core Fields Ajax (directory: cbcorefieldsajax) -> CB Core Fields Ajax 1.4.4: A cb fields plugin to allow ajax inline editing for the available cb core field types.

I unpublished 1. "CB AjaxTextField 1.1", but the problem persisted.
So I unpublised 2. "CB Core Fields Ajax 1.4.4" too...
However, with those both disabled, the File upload field still seems to use AJAX!
(even after I emptied Joomla's cache)


Two other settings that could have an influence on my problem:
* SSL is forced for the whole site.
* The J1.5 website is working in 1.0 legacy mode...


Furthermore I noticed that my "CB File Field" CB Plugin is:
CB File Field plugin 1.2: A CB 1.3 field-types plugin to add a file field type to available cb field types.
I couldn't find this plugin under downloads.
Is it the most recent version?

Ajax Text Field and Ajax File Field are two different fieldtype plugins. The latest is "CB Ajax File Fieldtype Plugin v.1.6" which you can download from the Advanced downloads section. Direct link as follows.
