[SOLVED] Uppercase image filenames not usable by custom plugin

Hi ggppdk,

Since this update - my clients have begun to notice that if the filename has uppercase in it - it fails to render.

Eg John_Banner.jpg - phpthumb is disabled

If I rename it to:

john_banner.jpg - the file uploads works fine.

I have attached the phpThumb.php.txt and the file I am having an issue with.

FLEXIcontent Version:
Latest version: 3.1.1
Installed Version: 3.1.1 Release date: 2016-10-31
Installed Version 3.1.2-dev Release date: 2016-11-01

Any ideas of how to fix the issue?

Hello

maybe the had uploaded the files with v3.1.0 ?

does it happen with files uploaded with v3.1.1 ?

-- also where exactly are you uploading ?
file manager ?
item form image field in "folder mode" ?
item form image field in "DB mode" ?

Hi ggppdk,

Sorry - the default image thumb is working.

I just remembered - its our own FLEXIcontent plugin linking to phpthumb. Its based on hugegallery. As, I have been using it for over 6 years and forgot its not part of FLEXIcontent.

However - it was working up until about a week ago - with this version I believe:

Latest version: 3.1.1
Installed Version: 3.1.1 Release date: 2016-10-31
Installed Version 3.1.1-dev Release date: 2016-10-23

However - on further investigation upgrading to the newest version of flexicontent works on localhost - but not my actual webserver.

Hello
here is an explanation:

the filemanager / fileselement upload task and helper upload code
- will language-transliterate known characters to english (according to Joomla language files of each language)

Transliteration will also forces lowercase filenames !!

i think you plugin does not consider the above,

about EXISTING filenames of image,
- these are not tampered, if they had been uploaded as Uppercase they remain as they were

how does your plugin get the final "safe" filename of the uploaded file ?

Thanks - that worked:
