Regex problem when uploading image

Hi,
no matter which regex I set for an image upload field, it won't allow link to be added:"Thumbnail cannot contain the value 'test.jpg'"

I tried the regex from the manual and several that I found browsing this forum. They won't work. Only way to have it work is with removing the regex.

So what regex should I set ?

Thanks,
Brakkar

Hi,

Mmm..what regex are you using?

I'd try;

^([%\w-]+\.(?:jpe?g|JPE?G|gif|GIF|png|PNG)|)$

Hope that helps.

Cheers

I also had problems with images not being accepted so tried your Regex Andy cut and pasted it be sure there were no error. I get this error

+Image cannot contain the value &#039hunslet.jpg&#039+

Doesn't matter what image I try or whatever type gif,png,jpg the error is the same.

Hi,

Mmm.. whats the stuff in front of the image name? :/

&#039hunslet.jpg&#039+

Are you sure you're selecting the right image? It looks like they are quotes ("), which is why it wouldn't be getting accepted.

Andy thanks for fast response ...

There is nothing in front of the image title I am using browse and selecting

hunslet.jpg

from the desktop and that is the error Links throws up - I have even saved the image again under various title, even converted it to gif and png - same error. I have tried about 6 different image files all create the same error - there are definitely no quotes in any of the titles.

Hi,

If you don't mind sending over GLinks admin panel details, I don't mind having a quick look for you. Probably something simple :)
