D7 (beta3) Upload Photo fix

ydrargyros posted 16th of August 2009 in Community Voice. 7 comments.

Seems like for us that have Linux Servers (we should be plenty), a really strange problem occurs now and then!

No Photo Upload!

The problem got ridden of after i added some more extensions to the allowed one in the Photos Module. (Admin->Extensions->Photos->Settings)

There you should add the following to the Allowed extensions (third text box from the top)

jpg jpeg png gif JPG JPEG PNG GIF

Care to know why that is? The most obvious reason is that jpeg!=jpg and ofcourse due to the Case-sensitivity of Linux systems we get enough trouble to get discouraged!

Hope to be of help!

Good job,

I just noticed that as well when I was trying to upload a file that had the .JPG (caps) extension. It wouldn;t show it to me even though I knew the file was there. Thanks for the heads-up!

But then again, you see files named .Jpg, and so on... Or even .jpG! And people who have (by default) extensions of for recognized file types in Windoze won't have a clue what the error is all about.

The smart way to do extension checking is to separate the file extension of the upload and normalize it to lower case, and compare that against your allowed values --- then you have only one possible match per extension, and need only one mention per extension type in your allowed arrays.
