Allowed extensions for File Uploads not working

Postby Blade on Tue Dec 18, 2007 5:55 pm

Hi!

I'm trying to build a form with two file uploads, one field for .doc and .pdf, the other for a photo. However, my files don't get accepted and never make it to the server.

I put in "CV:doc|pdf,foto:jpg|gif|png" under File Uploads => Allowed Extensions and saved the form. However, when I go back to Edit the form again, Allowed Extensions now has the value "Arrray".

I'm using Joomla 1.5 RC3 and the latest ChronoForms.

I already set the PHP error reporting level to E_NOTICE so this isn't due to the bug where php warnings are generated due to some vars not being initialised before use.

Any help is appreciated

Hi Blade,

That's weird, I don't recognise that problem at all. Please will you take a backup copy of the form (use the button in Forms Manager) and post it here or email it to me at the address in my sig.

Hi Blade,

Have you made any hacks to ChronoForms ? there is a bug with the 1.5 version in the file uploads section and yes files will never get uploaded without a hack, please search the forums for it, its here somewhere :)

Hi Blade & Max,

I've updated the 1.5 download version to RC1a which now includes this bugfix. I've also attached the amended chronocontact.php to this post.

Ouch!


So I tryed the file, but no working.

I must say that CC under JRC1 works fine.

I wanna upgrade to RC4.

I copyed the same form running under RC1.
Upload no working.

I tryed to copy the chronocontacts.php from the one working RC1 to RC4, no results.

I tryed with your amended file as well, no uploading.
And neither the name of the file in the record....
ARSH!

Any help^!?!:sick:

Hi gg4j,

Sorry, I haven't even downloaded RC4 yet so have no idea what might have changed. I expect that Max will make a new release in the next week or so.

Hi gg4j, as suggested at the other thread, please check paths permissions ?

Hi Max,

From some work done by Blade there seems to have been a change in the behaviour of $registry->toObject() in RC3. It seems that it is exploding the piped string e.g. 'foto:jpg|gif|png' into separate array entries like [0]=>foto:jpg, [1]=>gif , [2]=>png

It looks like some re-coding is needed to work round the change.

Upload dir checked and set 777

still same problem with "array", as showned in the attached gif.

I think the problem should be there.

Thanks a lot for a help, Max & Bob!

I look forward your reply.:cheer:

Hi Max and gg4j,

I think I have a fix for this. The problem seems to be that in some cases (maybe all) the registry string 'uploadfields' is being exploded into an array on the pipe character '|' (see my previous post).

Two code changes are needed to fix this. In chronocontact.php around line 233 replace
Code: Select all
$allowed_s1 = explode(",", trim($paramsvalues->uploadfields));
with
Code: Select all
if ( is_array($paramsvalues->uploadfields) ) {
  $allowed_s1 = implode('|', $paramsvalues->uploadfields);
} else {
  $allowed_s1 = $paramsvalues->uploadfields;
}
$allowed_s1 = explode(",", trim($allowed_s1));
and in admin.chronocontact.html.php around line 91 replace
Code: Select all
$paramsvalues = $registry->toObject( );
with
Code: Select all
$paramsvalues = $registry->toObject( );
if ( is_array($paramsvalues->uploadfields) ) {
  $paramsvalues->uploadfields = implode('|', $paramsvalues->uploadfields);
}
and I think that file uploads should work OK.

Re:Allowed extensions for File Uploads not working

Postby BandcaveMan on Thu Jan 17, 2008 3:05 am

Not sure how this relates to this thread, but I just learned something worth sharing. I set up a form for file uploads and when submitting the file via the form, an error msg said "Sorry, your uploaded file type is not allowed"

I had included this line in the file uploads tab "datafile:jpg"

What I then realized is that it must be CASE sensitive. I changed it to "datafile:jpg|JPG" and it now works. Most of my jpegs from my camara are stored in upper case when I transfer them to my computer or browse to the camera for the file.

I was trying to upload files like xxx.JPG and it did not work, now it does.

I would recommend a code change converting this to lowercase prior to acting upon it.

Anyway, hope this helps someone who may be stuck...

Hi bandcaveman,

That's a known bug, it's fixed in 2.3.7 for Joomla 1.0.x and I'm sure Max has it fixed for the next release for Joomla 1.5 too. To fix for Joomla 1.0.x please upgrade to the current 2.3.7; for Joomla 1.5 make these changes in chronocontact.php

a) at about line 240 replace
Code: Select all
$allowed_s3      = explode("|", trim($allowed_s2[1]));
with
Code: Select all
$allowed_s3      = explode("|", strtolower(trim($allowed_s2[1])));
and at about line 257 replace
Code: Select all
if ( !in_array($fext, $allowed_s3) )
with
Code: Select all
if ( !in_array(strtolower($fext), $allowed_s3) ) {
I think those are the only changes.
