Magento 1.9 - No upload image buttons

Question

I am building my first Magento store, but I found out that I can't add images to products. It is testing site, so I am learning how things are functioning in Magento.

I tried almost everything - reinstalled flash, shockwave, browsers, updated prototype... No luck.I tried in 5 browsers.

Is there anything elese I can do to try to fix it?

Answer 1

I found this issue when I had extended and created my own theme for the admin area.

These buttons use FLASH.

So if your browser does not support flash - then they will not appear.

Ensure that the app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/media folder exists and that there are 2 files within it.

• editor.phtml
• uploader.phtml

Ensure that the skin/adminhtml/default/default/media folder exists and that there are 3 files within it.

• flex.swf
• uploader.swf
• uploaderSingle.swf

If you have created your own theme (ie Theme: "mytheme" and Package "mypackage") then ensure the above applies for:

• app/design/adminhtml/mytheme/mypackage/template/media
• skin/adminhtml/mytheme/mypackage/media

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

These buttons are coming from flash.So check your media folder on following location

design/adminhtml/default/default/template/media

if there is no media folder then copy from fresh magento

This will solve your problem :) if not Try solution from below links https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15022532/image-upload-buttons-are-missing-in-magento-in-back-end

Answer 3

Funny thing, i had the same kind of problem in the project i currently work, but all files were in place (Talking about Magento Version 1.14.1.0).

First i thought the issue are the missing '' here

var maxUploadFileSizeInBytes = <?php echo $this->getDataMaxSizeInBytes() ?>;

found in several places, for example in

• "app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/media/uploader.phtml"
• "app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/cms/browser/content/uploader.phtml"

But that lead to a new error, so the final solution was to change the php.ini like that:

upload_max_filesize = 100 M 

to

upload_max_filesize = 100M

Answer 4

I tried all the solution,but still i was not able to resolve this problem.

I got it resolved by downloading the Adobe flash for the browser (Firefox) that worked for me.

Answer 5

Edit your /app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/media/uploader.phtml

var maxUploadFileSizeInBytes = '<?php echo $this->getDataMaxSizeInBytes() ?>';
var maxUploadFileSize = '<?php echo $this->getDataMaxSize() ?>';

replace with

var maxUploadFileSizeInBytes = '128M';
var maxUploadFileSize = '128M';

Answer 6

There is three thinks: - HHVM (misconfiguration)

Copy

/app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Media/Uploader.php

to

/app/code/local/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Media/Uploader.php

and replace :

public function getPostMaxSize()
{
    return ini_get('post_max_size');
}

public function getUploadMaxSize()
{
    return ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
}

to:

public function getPostMaxSize()
{
    $post_max_size = ini_get('post_max_size');
    return $post_max_size ? $post_max_size : ini_get('hhvm.server.max_post_size');
}

public function getUploadMaxSize()
{
    $upload_max_filesize = ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
    return $upload_max_filesize ? $upload_max_filesize : ini_get('hhvm.server.upload.upload_max_file_size');
}

• Files - https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/71693/35766
• Configuration PHP - upload_max_filesize = 100M

This is finally solution to fix problem entirely.

Answer 7

I had the same problem and I fixed it like this: in chrome enter the following url

chrome://settings/content

You will see a popup, scroll down until you see flash, select allow sites to run flash.

Regards.

Answer 8

To fix the product image upload button not loaded in Magento CE 1.9.2.1, I had to add ' character in maxUploadFileSizeInBytes value.

Change

var maxUploadFileSizeInBytes = <?php echo $this->getDataMaxSizeInBytes() ?>;

To

var maxUploadFileSizeInBytes = '<?php echo $this->getDataMaxSizeInBytes() ?>';

In

app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/media/uploader.phtml

Answer 9

If you are using Git, make sure your .gitignore file doesn't inadvertently exclude Shockwave Flash files.

My .gitignore had the line:

*.sw?

Which was supposed to exclude *.swp, *.swo, etc but I hadn't thought about *.swf at the time.

So I changed it to:

*.sw?
!*.swf

Answer 10

I also had this issue, and it was because I wanted to control my unsercure & secure base urls for front & admin from within my local.xml

So if your unsecure & secure base urls is controlled with your local.xml you might run into this issue. I have not had time to work on a fix for this yet

Hope this helps!

Answer 11

I had this same problem on Magento 1.9.2.3 with HHVM. I discovered that the problem was from HHVM. Switching to PHP5-FPM solved the problem for me.

Answer 12

I had the same issue. Following is what fixed the issue for me:

In app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/media/uploader.phtml

Replaced getUploaderUrl('media/uploader.swf') ?> with the exact path of the uploader.swf https:///skin/adminhtml/default/default/media/uploader.swf

Answer 13

Please update the browser and install latest flash player...
