Upload files other than images not working after update

Hallo,

I've just updated from 2.0 to 2.3. Unfortunately, I can't upload any other files than images in 2.3. I didn't install 2.0., but I'm pretty sure, it was modified. I added this code to the index.php:

  case 'upload_document':
     include('includes/upload_document.inc.php');
     break;

That didn't do the trick.
The upload_document.inc.php in 2.3 refers to upload_document.tpl. But this file does not exist in the 2.3 installation package. Anybody any ideas?

Thanks! Mike

H Mike,

Anybody any ideas?

It seems to be modification of the forum-script. I found this thread. Maybe it is helpful.

Hi,

I've searched the forum and found the posting. It is, however, not really what I need. I could change the template file and use [link] tags. But for images I would like to keep the [img] tags. I've tried to write an if-else condition for $template = 'upload_image.tpl'; in the upload_image.inc.php file. No luck! Is there a reason for not supporting file upload? Any ideas are very appreciated!

Hello,

Yes, security reasons e.g. a user can upload executable PHP-Code.

If someone is interested, i made some modifications on my little forum 2.3 to allow file upload and added catalan language. For security reasons, allow file upload only to admins ;-)
