File Upload with german Umlaute

hi
it's possible, to deactivate the control of german umlaute by fileupload in chronoform 4? by oder versions i have delete the file-mask function and it was possible to upload with original-filname includes german umlaute.

Hi matrix,

Sorry, I have no idea what is needed :-( I don't think that there is any ChronoForms code that specifically filters out special characters for file inputs.

hi greyhead
i have a fileupload on my website. when i upload a file with name: 20110906-testöäü.pdf
on the server i become the name: 20110906081011_20110906-test.pdf
the öäü on the end of the filename are deleted.

Hi matrix,

Have you checked with your web host to see if your server supports file names with special characters? As I said I don't think that there is anything in ChronoForms that will remove them.

hi greyhead
before i have updated on joomla 1.7, with older version of chronoform the upload with file with german umlaute was ok. by the hoster, i have not changed. strange...

Hi Matrix,

Yes, the file name will pass through a name safe function which will remove those umlauts, are they necessary ? if you need this then I will have a to add an option to enable/disable the file name safe processing.

hi
when it's possible, to make an option for this, that was GREAT!
and many thanks for the feedback, that is a pass-trought controll. i have search on many ways (include by hosting), what's the problem.
can you post here, when this option is implemented?
thanks

Hi Matrix,

No problems, please contact me with your Joomla version and I will add the option and send you a file to patch🙂
