I saw you might be updating the Image Upload module for better handling of filenames.

Any news on that?

I am working on an image gallery and following the Stallone store video project :)

As the file name is really not important. Is it perhaps possible to set it to just the ID or a random text?

What would be my best strategy for a great user experience?

P.S. I am really starting to love the Trongate framwork's simplicty of design!

Thank you.

I should hopefully have something up tomorrow.

Cheers and good luck with your project!

Fantastic news!

Really looking forward for it :)

Keep up the great work!

Alright, that's all done.

You can find out more info at https://github.com/trongate/trongate-framework/releases

I'll hopefully have the documentation updated shortly.

In the meantime, just know that troublesome characters are automatically removed. Furthermore, if you include 'make_rand_name' with a value of true - when you upload - then your files are given a random name. If you upload and there's an existing file then an underscore along with an appropriate number will automatically be added to the new file name.

Finally, please note that picture uploads and normal file uploads return an array containing information about the uploaded file.

The best way to get your head around this is to automatically generate a single picture uploader, using the desktop app.

Ahoy!

Sounds pretty good.

I am still having some problems in getting this to work.
(not sure if it is relevant but the error points to line 62 in the engine/Model.php file)

One thing I am wondering about: If I use the desktop app to create a new project, will it fetch this newest version of the framework from Trongate.io?

Another: If I download the framework from GitHub, can I then just replace all the files in my project and everything works?

Yes, the desktop app will fetch the latest version of the framework or you can get it directly from Github and you can manually swap out the engine folder. It's things you have changed outside the engine folder (ie Template or public folder) that could potentially cause issues on an upgrade.

Could you please post the error you are still seeing?

Thanks!

I did a complete rebuild from scratch using the Desktop app. Adding the CREATE IMAGE UPLOADER. No special settings.

Uploading the file: thrandur-malari.jpg works fine - but uploading Þrándur.jpg (special icelandic characters) did upload the file but the file name is unchanged after the upload and it does not display.

After changing the $picture_settings['make_rand_name'] = true;
It works correctly by changing the name to a random name (cbpssdqchg.jpg) and displaying correctly.

So that is enough for me at the moment :)
