XF 1.4 Can't use Upload Button, Can Drag and Drop

[robertdjung]

I can't use the attach button, but I can drag files into the reply box and upload that way.

It was working, then I installed an add-on, noticed the next day it wasn't working, removed the add-on, and the problem persists. Ideas? I'm going crazy!

I installed Andy's "change the date of the post" add-on. I believe it's possible that's what broke this. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/change-date.2371/

This is from the console output from Chrome

XenForo.activate(#document)

Any ideas? I've been reading for hours

I have rebuilt the user permissions cache multiple times, I have used the persmissions analyzer.. The permissions are very clear that my super-user, and a brand new test user can view and attach files.

The error is the pop up that reads:

The following error occurred:​

You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.

The only file that appears to have changed is permissions.xml. I assume obviously that's because I installed, and removed that add-on. I don't have a backup of that file, so I don't really know what it should look like, nor what display_order means, either. I can see in the database there are numbers associated with permissions, but I'm not sure where those numbers are generated.

Such as:
xf_permission_combination_user_group
xf_permission_combination
xf_permission

Any help is appreciated. Including telling me to just upgrade to v2. lol

Toggle the attachment permission for the affected user account/group off and back on to see if that updates it.

 

[robertdjung]

Tried that again, no change. Toggled for all user groups, and allow all but unregistered to upload.
Rebuilding the user cache now .... Nope no change

 

[robertdjung]

Thinking it might be useful, I checked the perms and change dates on the three files in this directory, and they haven't changed dates and are 644
library/XenForo/AttachmentHandler

Post.php, ConversationMessage.php, Abstract.php

In fact, no files in the Xenforo directory have had a date change.

Anyone think that just upgrading would do something? I already have the license, I just hate taking this particular site down, it's health related.

Our recommendation is always to be on the latest version possible.

Upgrading from XF1 to XF2 is a major upgrade though.

Ensure you are aware of the implications: https://xenforo.com/docs/xf2/install-upgrade/#upgrading-from-xenforo-1

 

[robertdjung]

So no ideas, at all?

 

[Paul B]

Yes - upgrade.

The version of XF you are using is 6 years old and has not been supported for many years.
