Thread

A while back, I filed the following bug: https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/15013/—I was told that I should open a support ticket for this bug, so I’m doing this now.

When I try to upload a file to a “.jpeg” file upload location where “Allowed File Types” is set to “images only”, one of two things happens, the upload either fails or never completes. In the latter case, I just see a spinning indicator, but it never completes—even if the file is ~80k or so. When the upload fails, I either see the error “The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.” or “You did not select a file to upload.”. Does anyone else have this problem?

- I’m able to upload “.jpg”, “.gif”, and “.png” images without issue
- I’ve tested with Safari 5.0.3, Chrome 8.0.552.237, Opera 11.01, and Firefox 3.6.13 all using Mac OS X 10.6.6
- I’ve turned off “Apply XSS Filtering to uploaded files?” under “Admin -> Security and Privacy -> Security and Session Preferences”
- I’ve tested this on my local server, and on a MediaTemple (gs) shared hosting server

I’m using EE v2.1.3 build 20101220.

Have you tried with “Allow All File Types”? Make sure there’s an appropriate MIME type in .../system/lib/mimes.php, too.

Have you tried with “Allow All File Types”?

“.jpeg” file uploading works when using “Allow All File Types?”, but I was specifically trying to limit the user to uploading images only in that one uploader.

Make sure there’s an appropriate MIME type in .../system/lib/mimes.php, too.

I wasn’t able to find a “../system/lib/mimes.php”, but I did see “../system/expressionengine/config/mimes.php”, and it has the following lines:

'jpg'    =>    array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),
'jpe'    =>    array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),
'jpeg'   =>    array('image/jpeg', 'image/pjpeg'),

I believe that’s as it should be.

Hi Gavin,

I am able to replicate this behaviour so I’ll confirm that in the bug report.

Thank you for the report.

Cheers
