vb.org Archive - Has anyone fixed the swf uploader attachment category bug?

There is a bug in the vb 4 and vb4.1 uploader where it does not preserve the selected category.

For example, if you create categories in the attachment manager, then you click one of the categories, then click on Add Files, choose a file, click upload.... and instead of the file being uploaded into the selected category, it puts it in categoryid 0, which is Home.

However, if you use the basic uploader, then the category gets preserved.

This bug was reported here a year ago:
http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/...3Aall-tabpanel

I am trying to fix this for my board but I'm wondering if someone else has figured out a work around?

As I wrote in the bug report:

I looked at the code in vbulletin_yuiupload.js, vbulletin_asset.js and assetmanage.js

In vbulletin_asset.js, this is where the postvars appears to be given information about categoryid:

PHP Code:


		
			
vB_Asset.prototype.yuiuploadevent_upload = function (B, A, C) { 

this.yuiupload.postvars.categoryid = C.tree.selectednode.categoryid; // <=== here C.showprogress(); 

YAHOO.util.Dom.addClass("upload_controls_close3", "invisible"); 

YAHOO.util.Dom.setStyle("upload_controls_container", "z-index", 10000); 

C.hideuploader() 

};

But in vbulletin_yuiupload.js, vB_YUI_Upload.prototype.upload function, when it calls

PHP Code:


		
			
this.uploader.uploadAll(this.target, "POST", this.postvars, this.fieldname)

the this.postvars container does not have a categoryid attribute. (I checked in firebug and chrome)

and same in assetmanager.js:

PHP Code:


		
			
uploadAll: function (A, D, B, C) { 

this._swf.uploadAll(A, D, B, C); 

},

When uploadAll is called, B, does not have categoryid in postvars.

However, if you try to add a category just for testing in vB_YUI_Upload.prototype.upload like:

PHP Code:


		
			
this.postvars.categoryid = "4";

the sql query starting with

Code:

INSERT IGNORE INTO attachmentcategoryuser

never gets called but I don't know where and why.

Has anyone made any progress on this and would like to share some notes?

Thanks
