Question Attachments with spaces in filenames overwrite previous uploaded attachments

Hi

I m using Kunena 1.7.2 on Joomla 2.5.1 and i have a problem with attachment file in kynena

The problem appears when a user upload a file whith a space in the name (ie "sans titre.png") the file is automaticly renammed in "sanstitre.png"... No problem for the first upload, but when someone upload an other file nammed "sans titre.png" the file was rename in sanstitre.png and replace the old one. Seems there is no check if it exist or not...

But if you don't use space in the name file, all was ok and the file was carrectly renammed...

If was a "big" problem because by default files was nammed "sans titre.*" in some (french) application
Sure i ash to user to don't use name whith space but...

let me show you

first file call sans titre.jpg

renamed in sanstitre.jpg
normally it was a white one in a red square.

and if i upload another one different (blue)


sans titre.jpg was rename in sanstitre.jpg too (without checking if an other one exist) and the attachement in the previously post change too

(hope you have the problem too

update

---

Yeah( sorry ) you have the problem too

if i send you the same file without space (i change name too ) you have :

save in orignal name "attachement.png
rename correctly in attachement_2012-03-24-2.png

hope you can fixed it

best regards

Fix what, exactly? Everything is working fine. Your examples prove that everything is working fine. I'm sorry. I don't understand the problem.

I will try, with my poor english to explain

If you send a attachment call "sans titre.jpg", the script will rename in "sanstitre.jpg"
no problem with that

But if, in an other post, you link a new attachement with the same name "sans titre.jpg" (with the space)
The second attachement will already renamed in "sanstitre.jpg".. and will replace the 1st attachement.

and you have finally the 1er post, with the attachement of the second one
The secong post have a correct attachement until somebody use the same name (with space) for his attachement and, with the third post, the attachement of post 1 and post 2 will replace by the attachement of the post 3 etc etc etc...

the case is only when you use a file name attachement with a space in the name..


please try to send different file called "sans titre.jpg" in several post an d you will show it...

The solution was, to check if a file exist whith the same name but without space to renamed it correctly or to "lock" upload attachement with a space

Now you have :
1 post : sans titre.jpg -> sanstitre.jpg
2 post : sans titre.jpg -> sanstitre.jpg

and you normally will have
1 post : sans titre.jpg -> sanstitre.jpg
2 post : sans titre.jpg -> sanstitre-03-27-12.jpg (or something like that (like other file in fact)

I understand the issue. I will report this to the development team to make sure that it's fixed in K 2.0.

In the meantime, don't use image filenames that contain spaces. Simple. Problem solved.

"n the meantime, don't use image filenames that contain spaces. Simple. Problem solve"

Be sure that's i asked to my user when i saw the problem

thanks
