I am trying to upload a gif to the /assets/images folder and it is giving me:

Uploading of this kind of file isn’t allowed!

In the configuration the uploadable image types is set to:

jpg,jpeg,png,gif,psd,ico,bmp

and the filename is greyfade.gif.

I’m using rev 1581. Any ideas?

Hi ajayre,

It works fine on my local test setup running rev.1581. How do you install rev.1581? Was it using a fresh install or was it via doing a patch upgrade. And, one last question, if you patched it, what version did you patch from? I’m suspecting that not all the files have been updated correctly.

One thing to try, if this is a patch upgrade, is to try resaving your system configuration settings in the manager- that will ensure the setting changes made for this particular addition are saved to the database.

Hi Gary,

It was a clean install. I tried resaving the configuration and then uploading a file but I received the same result.

Okay, I think I see the problem. Were you trying to upload the file through the file manager? This hasn’t been updated yet for the filetype changes (I’ll make this a priority)

A temporary fix is to add the gif extension to the list of ’Uploadable File Types’ in the system configuration.

And here is the fix which I’ve just submitted to my personal branch in SVN ...

In files.dynamic.php (in manager/actions/), change line 19 which reads:

$uploadablefiles = split(",", $upload_files);

To the following:

// make arrays from the file upload settings
$upload_files = explode(',',$upload_files);
$upload_images = explode(',',$upload_images);
$upload_media = explode(',',$upload_media);
$upload_flash = explode(',',$upload_flash);
// now merge them
$uploadablefiles = array_merge($upload_files,$upload_images,$upload_media,$upload_flash);

And, all should be well!

Hope that helps,
Garry

I also experienced a similar problem with not being able to upload a file through the File Manager. I made sure my user had the correct permissions, and that the file extension was permitted in the configuration.

My problem turned out to be a case sensitivity problem with the filename. My configuration allowed for the "pdf" extension, but my file was named COMMENTS.PDF. It would not upload because PDF != pdf. I renamed the file to COMMENTS.pdf, and it uploaded successfully.
