Warning about filenames with spaces

Can you explain more clearly what the problem is?
What browser are you using?
What server side version of CKFinder?
What file are you uploading? When exactly CKFinder does not work as expected?

Thanks for a quick reply. Did you test uploading same file without space in its name? Does it work fine?
Can you let me know what server side version are you using (PHP? ColdFusion?) and perhaps a little bit more information about your environment (Apache/IIS? PHP4/PHP5, ColdFusion 7/8/9?).

Thanks for reply, because we have many different server side versions of CKFinder that can be run in many different environments, I need a little bit more details from you:

Hello, I have a related problem. I am using the ColdFusion CKFinder version and while I can upload files with spaces no problems, I would like to rename the filename to remove the space when it is uploaded. Otherwise spaces in the filename are causing us problems later on.

Does anyone have any suggestions to modify the code to rename the files or prevent file uploads with a warning message if there is a space in the name?

Thanks
Fraser

@frasernz In core\connector\cfm\CommandHandler\FileUpload.cfc you may adjust this line:

<cfset fileName = reReplace(unsafeFileName, "[\:\*\?\|\/]", "_", "all") />

to your needs.

Great, thanks very much Wiktor. I simply updated that line to:

<cfset fileName = reReplace(unsafeFileName, "[\:\*\?\|\/\s]", "_", "all") />

I had to disable the popup warning about invalid file name renamed as this prevented the quick upload tab from continuing to populate the url field after the file had been uploaded. But I don't that would have any other bad effects and everything seems to work great.

Thanks again Wiktor.

Can anyone tell me how to accomplish the same with the PHP version? I have clients who upload images with spaces in the filenames and I'd like to replace them with underscores (or dashes) if possible.

Thanks,
Edward

Hi all
just like frasernz, I'd like to be able to upload images with spaces, but have the spaces converted to a "_" or something once uploaded. I also have problems with spaces being retained in file names later on in my application.

We use PHP5 on Apache.

I've had a look through \ckfinder\core\connector\php\php5\CommandHandler\FileUpload.php
but couldn't locate the parallel change.

Thanks

Look for the following code in the file you have mentioned:

if ($_config->forceAscii()) {
            $sFileName = CKFinder_Connector_Utils_FileSystem::convertToAscii($sFileName);
}

and do any extra changes you like to the file name straight after this statement.
