OJS announcements with an image

Software Support
1

Hello,

I am trying to create an announcement in OJS that contains an image.

First I tried to Upload an Image with the editor and I received the error “The directory specified for uploaded files does not exist or is not writable.”

After that I tried and upload the image manually to the directory “…/public/site/images/primozs” with rw permissions to everyone. This time I clicked “Manage your uploaded images” in the upload an image window. I get the same error.

Can you please help me to find where is the problem with the permissions?

Regards, Primož

Hi @primozs,

What version of OJS are you using? (Please include this with your posts.)

Hi @asmecher,

Uf, I am sorry. The OJS version is 2.4.4.1

Hi @primozs,

It sounds like you’re trying to upload images using the JBImages plugin which is included in TinyMCE as distributed with OJS. Is that correct? That integration has seen some modifications since OJS 2.4.4.1, e.g. as part of bug #8797 – if it’s at all possible, I would suggest upgrading OJS 2.4.4-1, which is rather old. Alternately you may be able to patch your install with those changes, but we can’t offer much support for it.

Hi @asmecher,

I have no other choice than believe you :slight_smile:

Thank you for help. We plan to upgrade to the 2.4.9, when it is released.
