Re: [mezzanine-users] Re: Mezzanine 3.1.10: Can't delete the media files in the admin page

[Simon Bradley]

For anyone else using windows. There was another small issue.

This line in views.py:

# CREATE FILEOBJECT
url_path = "/".join([s.strip("/") for s in
[get_directory(), path, file] if s.strip("/")])

Changed it to:

# CREATE FILEOBJECT
url_path = "/".join([s.strip("/") for s in
[get_directory(), path.replace("\\", "/"), 
file] if s.strip("/")])


This might not be the best way to solve the problem but if you just want to 
get it working on windows it does seem to do the trick.

 Very silly. Silly windows user.

 filebrowser-safe get_directory() picks up the directory from
 settings.py or the default 'uploads/' and it's as simple as that it seams.

 Because for it to work on windows the path needs to be 'uploads\'

 A backslash. That's it.

 So i just added this:

 FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY = 'uploads\\'

 To my local_settings.py and now we're good.

 Hope this helps some people.

[mezzanine-users] Re: Mezzanine 3.1.10: Can't delete the media files in the admin page

[Simon Bradley]

OK def fixed it now

This line in the views.py of filebrowser-safe:

if not normalized.startswith(get_directory()) or ".." in normalized:
   
It appears to be the problem.

I changed it to:

if not normalized.startswith(get_directory().strip("/")) or ".." in 
normalized:
   
Removed the FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY entry from the local_settings.py because 
i generally stick with the default path anyway.

Tested everything. Looks like it's working. I know there was a bit of a 
false alarm before but this time i'm fairly sure.

If there's a simpler way to get around this though i'd like to know it.

It's a bit of a faff having to have my own version of filebrowser-safe for 
every mez proj.

 Does anyone have any idea about this? Googling it seems to suggest it 
 has lingered for several years. It's a real annoyance because overall i 
 really like mezzanine and have developed a couple of sites with it now. 
 I'm 
 also using windows 10 and everything else works great.

 Would be great if i had any kind of workaround for this.

 Anyone any idea?

 Anyone at all?

 I mean i spent a fair amount of time fiddling with it. Looking here: 
 https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html

 It says this: 
 Although Windows supports chmod() 
 , you can only set 
 the file’s read-only flag with it (via the stat.S_IWRITE and 
 stat.S_IREADconstants or a corresponding integer value). All other 
 bits are ignored.

 Now i'm not really all that knowledgeable in this area but is that 
 saying that because Mezzanine uses chmod that you can't actually change 
 the 
 file permissions on windows through mezzanine?

 If so could there be another way? Maybe changing the file permissions 
 in windows explorer somehow?

 Welcome a discussion here folks. I know someone out there knows more 
 about this than i do. In fact i suspect their number may be legion.

Well i found the problem.

Very silly. Silly windows user.

filebrowser-safe get_directory() picks up the directory from settings.py or 
the default 'uploads/' and it's as simple as that it seams.

Because for it to work on windows the path needs to be 'uploads\'

A backslash. That's it.

So i just added this:

FILEBROWSER_DIRECTORY = 'uploads\\'

To my local_settings.py and now we're good.

Hope this helps some people.

[mezzanine-users] Re: Mezzanine 3.1.10: Can't delete the media files in the admin page

[Simon Bradley]

Yo!

Does anyone have any idea about this? Googling it seems to suggest it has 
lingered for several years. It's a real annoyance because overall i really 
like mezzanine and have developed a couple of sites with it now. I'm also 
using windows 10 and everything else works great.

Would be great if i had any kind of workaround for this.

Anyone any idea?

Anyone at all?

I mean i spent a fair amount of time fiddling with it. Looking 
here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html

It says this: 
Although Windows supports chmod() 
, you can only set the 
file’s read-only flag with it (via the stat.S_IWRITE and stat.S_IREADconstants 
or a corresponding integer value). All other bits are ignored.

Now i'm not really all that knowledgeable in this area but is that saying 
that because Mezzanine uses chmod that you can't actually change the file 
permissions on windows through mezzanine?

If so could there be another way? Maybe changing the file permissions in 
windows explorer somehow?

Welcome a discussion here folks. I know someone out there knows more about 
this than i do. In fact i suspect their number may be legion.

Hi. I'm trying Mezzanine on Windows 10 and facing this same issue. I can't 
delete images from the media library in the admin interface. Same error 
message. Did you manage to solve this?

Thanks,

Just ignorance on my part Mathias
I thought in my head 'I am searching the *total* Mezzanine code base', when
in fact I neglected to include the other parts such as filebrowser_safe.
Thanks for the heads up.

 Why searching for a filebrowser_safe issue in the mezzanine code base?

 The issue is thrown by the delete function in filebrowser_safe.views but
 there are 2 possible situations that can lead to this message. Either the
 path of the file failed to be normalized or the OS failed to delete the
 file properly.

 Can you modify the error messages of the views.py file of filebrowser_safe
 so we know which one is occuring?

Hi!

Also a user of Mezzanine 3.1.10 here. I do not see that error.
I tried deleting stuff from the admin media section. I was able to delete 
individual image files as well as I tried deleting entire folder and that 
worked fine too.
Could this be some kind of file system permissions issue ? Taking a wild 
guess here...

Cheers!
