"Could not find the file list container in the template" error

I am getting message "Could not find the file list container in the template" appearing in my Javascript debug console when using fine uploader.

Here is a jsfiddle example of the problem occurring. http://jsfiddle.net/Lu82ba9L/1/

The code from the example is repeated here

<!-- using fine uploader 5.1.3 at http://keysymmetrics.com/jsfiddle/jquery.fine-uploader.js -->
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#fine-uploader").fineUploader({
        debug: true,
        template: 'qq-template-bootstrap',
        request: {
            endpoint: "/my-endpoint"
        }
    });
});

<script type="text/template" id="qq-template-bootstrap" class="qq-uploader-selector">

<h1>Fine Uploader Test</h1>
<div id="fine-uploader"></div>

Just for additional information that may be helpful, I have a working version here. http://jsfiddle.net/61motjed/2/ .In this version here I have moved the "div.qq-upload-list-selector" element to a different position in the DOM (however, this is not the DOM structure I want). It is also unclear to me why the first example fails but the 2nd example is working.

Solution

  • Your template is not valid. The template must contain a top-level element with a CSS class of "qq-uploader-selector". This element must contain all other elements in your template. Simply wrapping the contents of your template in an element with this class should fix your issue.
