Problems uploading images using a MAC...

Post by gamache »

I have no problem adding images and loading them to the server using Windows and Internet Explorer.
When my client uses a MAC computer, she cannot load a picture. The drop down is grayed out. Please see screen shot to see what she sees. I have never used a MAC so I am so confused.

I use both MAC and PC, the FCK resource editor works OK in both.

It may be that there is a permissions issue or less likely a local setting on the MAC browser.

As a first step I would check permissions for your 'uploads' folder and sub folders.

I would also recommend adding the very good ImageManager plugin which is easy to install and found at

or

look at http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 872.0.html

These make uploading images much easier for inexperienced users.

Good luck

The screenshot shows your client is using Safari, which in my experience does not work well with certain aspects of the CMSMS Admin Panel/WYSIWYGs.

Ask your client to try Firefox instead.

It's Mac (abbreviation of Macintosh) not MAC ;)

Jonny is right : Safari is not a supported admin browser yet.

Yes there is no question Jonny is right (on all counts) I didn't notice it was Safari.

What is a bit curious is that the WYSIWYG toolbar should appear at all, in my experience Safari/Opera go straight to HTML mode but maybe it's changed with more up-to-date browsers than I'm using.
